Embodying Osiris: The Secrets of Alchemical Transformation Review

Embodying Osiris: The Secrets of Alchemical Transformation
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This is the second book I have read from Dr Thom Cavalli a perfect companion to his first book Alchemical Psychology. Thom is a master of weaving ancient wisdom with modern psychology and personal growth. The books are easy to read, fascinating and with a great touch of living history. More importantly they are a guide on how to move forward in ones life in a clean way using the wisdom that has been "hidden in plain sight" for Milena. I was fortunate enough to get Embodying Osiris just before I left to Egypt and wow! what an enhancement it was to have with me and to really "feel" what I saw. I also want to add this is not some New Age dribble rather a well researched book based shedding light on mysteries that have always been. I also invite those of you reading this to pick up Dr Thom's first book it is equally as fascinating and helpful. Can't wait for the next one.....

The modern Western movement to embrace Eastern spiritual traditions usually stops with India and the Orient. Westerners have yet to discover the wisdom that dates back even further to ancient Egypt. With a Jungian perspective, clinical psychologist Dr. Thom F. Cavalli plumbs that wisdom through the myth of Osiris, the green-skinned Egyptian god of vegetation and the Underworld. As no one else has done, Cavalli draws on Osiris's death and resurrection as a guide to spiritual transformation. The myth represents the joining of the conscious and the unconscious, the light and the dark, life and death, and shows how to live our temporal existence in service to and anticipation of eternal life. Cavalli sees the ancient art of alchemy - which attempted to turn lead into gold - as the key. The alchemical recipe "solve et coagula" (solution and coagulation) encoded in the myth describes the integration of all parts of a person and the method for achieving an experience of immortality in life and eternal life after death. The Osiris myth thus provides a model for the contemporary quest for individuation, the Jungian term for integrating ego and self, body and soul, in the process of becoming whole.

The Book of Doors Divination Deck: An Alchemical Oracle from Ancient Egypt Review

The Book of Doors Divination Deck: An Alchemical Oracle from Ancient Egypt

As an archpriestess of Isis in the Fellowship of Isis, I am always looking for good tools to help introduce people to the Gods of ancient Egypt. The Book of Doors is one such tool.
The Book of Doors gives both a wonderful introduction and a detailed look into the Gods of ancient Egypt, presented as a medium for divination. The authors' heavy emphasis on alchemy as a path for understanding and transformation draws on the long tradition that historically traces that discipline to Egypt. While I do not always agree with their interpretation of the meanings of the Gods, which they sometimes distort to fit their alchemical model, I still find this a useful tool for both divination and for studying the Gods and Goddesses. I recommend it highly as an alternative or backup to your everyday Tarot deck!
I also find the use of a die to select cards to be a wonderful randomizing tool, as opposed to traditional shuffling and other selection methods. They supply an 8-sided die with the deck, along with instructions for using it. Interesting method.

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

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.
