Social hierarchy

Social Hierarchy
The social hierarchy of Kermitism allows us to connect and make decisions as a whole. There are four different levels of being a Kerm: Just a Kerm, Kermer, Holy Kerm, and Kermle.

​

Just a Kerm: Kerms can only pray during the Holy Minute and may not make any holy rulings.

​

Kermer: Those at this level can only pray during the Holy Day. Kermers guide normal Kerms, anoint new Kerms, lead prayers, and make holy rulings. Holy rulings are when a Kerm interprets what a certain phrase, paragraph, or part means in the Kible.

​

Holy Kerm: There can only be three Holy Kerms in the world at any one time. Holy Kerms can anoint Kerms to the next level up by each of them placing a hand on the person's left shoulder, right shoulder, or head. Holy Kerms only pray during the Holy Day. One of the main jobs of the Holy Kerms is to manage this website. If a Holy Kerm steps down or can no longer be a Holy Kerm, the remaining Holy Kerms and the Kermle vote on who will become the new Holy Kerm. All the Holy Kerms advise the Kermle.

​

Kermle: The Kermle is the manager of Kermitism. Whoever is the Kermle can make any decision for Kermitism, as long as it does not affect the fundamental rules. The Kermle can pray on any day they wish. If the Kermle steps down or can no longer be the Kermle, the Holy Kerms vote on who will become the new Kermle.

Holidays and ceremonies

Kermitism has many holidays and ceremonies. Here are the ones we observe:

The Holy Day/Minute: Every Monday is the Holy Day. The Holy Day is the most sacred day of the week, the day Kermit started the Big Bang. At certain levels of the social hierarchy, you can pray on the Holy Day. The Holy Minute is the holiest minute of the week, occurring exactly when Kermit started the Big Bang. All Kerms can pray during the Holy Minute, which happens at 11:52 AM.

Premier Day: May 9th is the day Kermit the Frog premiered. Everyone can pray on Premier Day. Premier Day is usually celebrated by gambling a lot of fake money with family and/or friends.

How to pray

Praying to Kermit is very important in Kermitism. It is even more important to pray correctly, so here is how to pray. This is how to get into a praying pose.

Step 1

Go into child's pose

Step 2

Put your hands in front of your eyes

You may be wondering, "Why do you pray like that?" Well, thank you for asking. This shows Kermit that we are nothing compared to him. Now, where to pray? Well, you always pray to a bench. You are absolutely asking, "Why a bench?" Well, the bench represents unity and how some random people may meet there, creating a connection.

Who is Jim Henson

Jim Henson is well-known as the creator of Kermit the Frog, but what does that mean? Well, Jim Henson did not "create" Kermit; he was inspired by Kermit to share the glory of Kermit. Jim Henson had never even seen a puppet in his childhood before he started working with them. He began working with puppets in the 1950s as a teenager for a job at a TV station. Kermit's original body was not even made of professional materials; Kermit was made from Henson's mother’s old coat and a ping-pong ball cut in half for eyes.

So, no, Jim Henson is not above Kermit.

What is a Kangel

Kangels are very important beings in Kermitism, but the average Kerm doesn’t know much about them. These celestial entities play a crucial role in the spiritual hierarchy and mythology of Kermitism. When a mortal is inspired by Kermit to spread the glory of Kermit and devote their life to this noble cause, they are bestowed with the honor of becoming a Kangel after they pass away. This transformation signifies their eternal commitment to Kermit's teachings and their elevated status in the afterlife.

The first Kangel was Jim Henson, a figure of immense significance in Kermitism. Jim Henson is revered not only for his creative genius but also for his profound dedication to sharing the glory of Kermit with the world.
