'''Melkezedekism''' ([[Packilvanian]]: ''luMelkezedekishme'') is a denomination of [[Paxism]]. It was named after [[Melkezedek the Great]] of the [[Iktanite dynasty]]. Its adherents recognize the Bas Magdamar as the only one of the [[Writings of Paxism]] that is actually scripture. They also recognize the religious authority of the [[Magisterium of Paxism]] over the [[priesthood in Paxism]], [[martyrdom in Paxism]] and the [[canon law of Paxism]]. They believe in pilgrimage to the [[Temple of the Authority]], the lesser role of women in public life and religious affairs, and they abhor sorcery. Branches and offshoots have formed namely Madvinism, Sohadekism, and Saidunism. Some people who are Melkezedists such as Paxists in [[Allegheny]] and [[Emberwood Coast]] have pushed back against some of these beliefs.
