Ancient Egyptian Magical Texts: (Nisaba) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Ancient Egyptian Magical Texts is one of the rare books giving full translations of the magical rituals of Pharaonic Egypt. It contains dozens of spells and rituals, mostly for healing, exorcism, and protection against animals and danger. Out of print and very rare, but definitely worth getting.

Heart of the Sun: An Anthology in Exaltation of Sekhmet Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)this is really a wonderful book.
as a naturopathic physician and health educator and as someone who has been to Karnak and taught History of Medicine for 20+ years, I can only humbly express gratitude for Sekhmet and Her message, and now for these writers who share their experiences, insights and inspirations.
Only qualm thus far is the lack of author names in the Table of Contents.

The Ancient Egyptian Pyramid Texts (Writings from the Ancient World) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Allen's translation and take on the Pyramid Texts is both profound and a wonderful read. Rather than just dry translation Allen uses the English language the way it was meant to be used. I would highly recommend this book to any student of Egypt. This is the source material combined with the translations of Faulkner and Budge among others one can gain a comprehensive insight into ancient Egypt from various view points without a lot of the "New Age" hoopla that surrounds so many recent publications concerning Ancient Egypt.

Isis in the Ancient World Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Witt's study of the Isis cult focuses primarily on her fame outside of Egypt, but his research is impeccable and always fascinating in its detail. Isis in Rome. Isis in Santorini. Isis in Gaul. Isis just about everywhere in the Mediterranean world. Witt does an excellent job when gathering information about her festivals, cult objects and practices, and her place in widespread popular piety as a precursor of the Vigin Mary figure. There's also info on the gods of Isis' Egyptian entourage--Osiris, Anubis, Horus, Nephthys--and their respective places in the cult outside Egypt. All in all, a marvelous and ample treatment of one of the ancient world's most influential and enduring religious traditions.
