'''Itepinism''' is the indigenous religion of the Samatkhaoul people.

It is based on rites and doctrines recorded in the Paleo-Tevethi scripture ''[[Mafakh en-Itepin]]'' (“Book of Creation”). Itepinists worship [[Etep]] (Old Ibsa: ⲏⲧⲉⲡ 'Creator', also referred to as ϩⲁⲛ-ⲓϫⲱϫ ''Han-Idjōdj'' “Great Spirit”), the primordial creator of the universe. In Itepinist theology, Etep is formless and ineffable, and is said to possess ten distinct hypostases that are simultaneously Etep and expressions of Etep. These ten are collectively called the '''ere’im''' (Old Ibsa: ⲉⲣⲉⲓ̄ⲙ; singular '''ara'''), and each ara personifies a major cosmic principle.

Itepinist doctrine describes Etep as a primordial being who “slumbered” before creation. Etep is regarded as formless and ineffable and is not depicted anthropomorphically; Etep is not considered visually depictable in his totality. When representation occurs, it is typically limited to the creator’s name or to glyphs expressing Etep’s tenfold nature, and to images of Etep only as manifested in one of the ten hypostases. The Ere’im are treated as personifications of universal forces rather than separate creator gods, and may be invoked individually in ritual according to domain.

The Ere’im are not divided into benevolent and malevolent deities; each ara is a necessary cosmic principle that can manifest constructively or destructively depending on circumstance and rite. This moral non-dualism is often explained through the concept of ''īmren'' (Old Ibsa: ⲓ̄ⲙⲣⲉⲛ), a term denoting balanced alignment among seemingly opposing forces rather than the triumph of one “good” power over an “evil” one.
