Ancient wisdom made accessible,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Egyptian Mysteries: New Light on Ancient Knowledge (Art & Imagination) (Paperback)
The world of ancient Egypt was home to a deep and richly intricate spiritual tradition. This is readily apparent in ancient Egyptian iconography, but for most people, those arcane symbols remain a closed book. Lucy Lamy's book is a masterpiece that opens these ancient vaults of wisdom to the modern reader. I found extraordinary spiritual insights in what I have previously seen as a dry and opaque tradition. After the essay in part one, part two ("Plates") and part three ("Themes") present images with text explaining where they fit into Ms. Lamy's analysis. Having read the essay, the images made sense - I understood where they fit in this elaborate mythological system. If you have ever been captivated by, but have failed to understand, Egyptian iconography, this is the perfect book for you. I also highly recommend this book to anyone interested in the history of esoteric spiritual traditions.
