Editorial Reviews
From Library Journal
Clark, a writer, lecturer, and founder of Temple Herakhte, a group dedicated to recovering the religious practices of Egypt's Old Kingdom, has combined Egyptian religion, Greco-Roman hermeticism, and astrology to produce a popular overview of a lost sacred tradition. The study is made somewhat confusing by the author's insistence on using her version of the names of the Egyptian gods derived from their original hieroglyphic form rather than the commonly used Hellenized forms known to most readers. Instead of Isis and Osiris, the text uses Auset and Asar; in place of Thoth and Hathor, Djehuti and Het-Her are found. The Egyptian term neter is used throughout for authenticity even though Egyptologists readily translate the word as "god." Nevertheless, the lay reader will find an informative general survey of the religious texts that have survived and their basic cultural and architectural contexts. This publication is best suited for New Age and metaphysical collections. (Most illustrations not seen.)DEdward K. Werner, St. Lucie Cty. Lib. Syst., Ft. Pierce, FL

Book Description
The modern world has long been fascinated by the mysteries of ancient Egypt. The code was not broken until the discovery of the Rosetta Stone in 1799. Many assumptions and guesses have been made about ancient Egypt. Egyptologists who were respected a century ago are often scorned now, and yet, much of what has become known as the Western Mystery Tradition can be traced directly to ancient Egypt.

This book clearly explains the entire mysticism of that ancient land. Rosemary Clark shows how they used ritual and sacred architecture to encourage human evolution. Seventy illustrations, twenty-two tables, and nine photos make this voluminous knowledge easy to grasp. You will learn the way the ancient Egyptians perceived life and the environment, about the four cosmological schools and various creation about the secret practices of ancient Egyptian astronomy and astrology and how to reestablish your bond with nature by using this ancient wisdom and learn the secrets of the three-fold initiation. This is not just a book of ancient history. Included throughout the book is a series of practical exercises that will allow you to put this traditional wisdom into practical use. The extensive table of contents is included here to show the range of the subject matter covered in this definitive book.
