Ra Un Nefer Amen (born Rogelio Alcides Straughn, on January 6, 1944) is the founder of the Ausar Auset Society, a Pan-African religious organization dedicated to providing Afrocentric based spiritual training to people of African descent. Trained originally as a concert pianist, composer, and music theoretician, Amen passed on opportunities in the music industry to devote time to the spiritual education and uplift of African people. To accomplish this goal, he has written and published several books on the subject of ancient Egyptian philosophy and spiritual culture, most notably Metu Neter (Vol. 1 & 2) and the Metu Neter Oracle. Amen's unique insight into the spiritual philosophies of various ancient civilizations has made him a well recognized and respected author on the subject of spiritual cultivation. He is a leading authority and publisher of works dealing with ancient Egypt (Kemet) and its spiritual and cultural foundation of traditional Africa.
