The Circle of
A good book
on the Gods and Goddesses of a particular pantheon is a valuable tool. Ms. Reed is well versed in the Egyptian
pantheon and presents in this book her own personal perspective on the Gods and
Goddesses that make up this pantheon, and how she has come to work with
them. Included in this book are the basics when working with this pantheon. An excellent history and overview of who the Gods and Goddesses are, correspondences to this pantheon, rituals, tools and making them yourself, songs to sing, recipes for food and for incense and oils (including a few from “Seahorse”). There is also information about amulets, how to make a sistrum, a primer on reading Egyptian hieroglyphs and a section on choosing a name for yourself in Tameran. All of this is included in an index in the back of the book for easy reference. Ellen Cannon Reed is well versed in the subject of the Egyptian Pantheon, and she comes across in the book as being able to impart this information in a way that can be understood by anyone. She also includes her own personal journey and experiences which help you to understand how these Gods and Goddesses can interact with each of us. While basic knowledge is good, personal experience gives us the wisdom we seek to be able to work with the Gods and Goddesses we choose to be our own personal Deities. I highly recommend this book for those who are walking the Wiccan path and have chosen the Egyptian Pantheon as the Deities they wish to work with. Ms. Reed is the source for Egyptian Wicca and this book does the topic justice. Boudica Reviews Editor The Wiccan/Pagan Times http://www.twpt.com |
