'''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 in Paxism|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.
