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.

Pagan Prayers: Now Available!




This short work was, in its original format, over 120 pages in length- so it is almost as important as an example of the strangeness of early 1900s book formats as it is a guide to some liturgies, prayers, poems, and rituals of pagan groups.

Marah Ryan's compilation here is derived from other sources and includes material from the Egyptian, Persian, Navajo, Hindu, and other paths; in most cases for this edition the Old English style of the prayers themselves was left intact because it had already been translated and transcribed and correcting it, if necessary to begin with, would have required the original sources. A fine collection of short pieces from these cultures- especially the Egyptian prayers and invocations.
