Synopsis

A beautiful and engaging rendering of the Egyptian Book of the Dead.

The Egyptian Book of the Dead is one of the oldest and greatest classics of Western spirituality. Until now, the available translations have treated these writings as historical curiosities that have little relevance to our contemporary situations. This new version, made from the hieroglyphs, approaches the Book of the Dead as a profound spiritual text capable of speaking to us today. These writings suggest that the divine realm and the human realm are not altogether separate—they remind us that the natural world, and the substance of our lives, is fashioned from the stuff of the gods. Devoted like an Egyptian scribe to the principle of "effective utterance," Normandi Ellis has produced a prose translation that reads like pure, diaphanous verse.

This could easily become one of my favorite books. The book is poetic and moving drawing the reader into the world of ancient Egyptian mystery.

Goodreads review by Monty on December 14, 2021

I was a bit dubious about this at first, on account of the author’s New Age pagan profession. I am influenced – perhaps unfairly – by the mad aristo (and renegade Anglican priest) the 21st Baron Strathloch, who converted his castle in Ireland into a Temple of Isis (with his sister as High Priestess)......more

Goodreads review by Greg on March 08, 2013

Like a lot of kids (right?!) I grew up with a crazy fascination with Egypt and it's mythology, even got to visit the place once. Grabbed a copy of this on a whim simply for personal curiosity, and it was a fun read. Poetry, stories from the very dawn of man to the very depths of the underworld, and......more
