This review is from: The Passion of Isis and Osiris: A Gateway to Transcendent Love (Paperback)
This exploration of the world's most transcendent story of love is rewritten in its entirety within the first chapters. The reader lives the Egyptian tale of the twins Isis and Osiris through a dramatic romanticization of the renowned myth. The author shows how, via detailed exercises, this myth relates to the modern design of marriage and provides the reader with the search for oneself throughout.

Jean Houston succeeds in bringing a very ancient mythological story all the way to the present time. She really lives what she teaches, and she guides us to do so as well. Our lives can benefit a lot from the richness of ancient wisdom!

Hello,
I was absolutely astonished, floored when I read the myth of Isis and Osiris and saw my life and the life of everyone I know in the pages of this book. I am on a personal quest for the truth of my existence and I struck "GOLD" when I read this book. Thank you Ms. Houston, thank you Amazon, and thank everyone who was involved in the process of bringing this book to me. Thank you, Sincerely, Cheryl L. Theriot

Exercises a little lacking,

This review is from: The Passion of Isis and Osiris: A Gateway to Transcendent Love (Paperback)
This book is for those interested in an esoteric interruptaiton of Egyptian mythology. The first section of the book includes a varitety of myths which has have been re-interrupted, while the remaing part of the book are lessons for personal transformation. There is a lot of information contained in the book, but the exercises at the end of each section did not interest me that much.

I know alot of the myth in the book isn't proven to be true as of now, with all my reading. But it is a very nice story. It is just kind of all over the place, and seperated with exersizes, like a school book or something. I thought the myth was wonderful, it gave such detail and all of Osirus and Isis, and the other Gods and Goddess involved. The book includes some information about Horus, Seth, Nephthys, Ra, Geb, and some others. It's a pretty nice book. I dont care for the exersizes, I just wanted to read and learn more about the myth, some of it in here is exagerated, but other than that it's nice.
