The Old Egyptian Faith: Now Available!

CLICK TO PURCHASE

This volume is an extensive treatment of the ancient Egyptian religion; its deities, its rituals, and especially the treatment of the dead and form of the afterlife. As with Egyptology in general, all of these subjects were malleable, changing in form and practice over the course of many centuries, something which is repeatedly noted especially in the spells and enchantments and rituals involving mortality and the judgment of the spirits of the departed. A number of interesting tales about the interaction of their deities with one another are provided.

The Burden of Isis: Now Available!

CLICK TO PURCHASE

This work is a fairly important collection of ancient Egyptian invocations, which partly allude to the story of Orisis being slain by Seth, then revived by his sister-wife Isis. It contains a very interesting little section on the importance of the "sistrum-bearer" in these proceedings, using this instrument to call awareness to the deity rather than summon it; fitting in roughly with one of my own perpetual interests, in sonic magic.

The Religion of Ancient Egypt: Now Available!

CLICK TO PURCHASE

This is yet another of the works from the creation series of the early 20th century. It is as rigorous and dense as the prior edition on Assyria and Babylon; much of the content is a very detailed list of major deities, their basic histories, and a bit of their evolution over time (Egyptian religion is far from homogeneous- it continued to develop longer than any other system because of the longevity of Egypt as a various empire and regional power.)

Some detail on sacred writings and home practice involved with daily Egyptian life is also given.

Realms of the Egyptian Dead: Now Available!

CLICK TO PURCHASE

This little work is one of the better, more dense pieces of Egyptology I've come across- one of the reasons I prioritized it in the new slew of works I have planned for the rest of 2018 into, probably, as late as mid 2020. Written by Alfred Wiedemann in the golden era of Victorian academic works, it is a broad overview of a few important topics within Egyptian pagan lore- especially focusing on the transition from live sacrifice to the use of clay figurines and similar things to lend a hand to the deceased, mummified Egyptian in the afterlife, as well as the topic of the self-contradicting nature of Egyptian lore; literally that within one burial two or more mythological tales scrawled on the tomb walls may tell stories which directly refute one another, causing legendary confusion.

It also contains a few bits about Egyptian mythology strictly related to Osiris and other deities, which is of decent import and quite interesting.
