Product Description

Review
"Anyone reading this work cannot help but be moved by it. It comes as close to an appreciation of the themes of the soul's journey portrayed in the Egyptian Book of the Dead as any modern interpretation has, and with a poetry unmatched anywhere in the literature thus far".

-- KMT: A Modern Journal of Ancient Egypt

Synopsis
Shares ancient Egyptian funerary texts and religious hymns and provides an overview of Egyptian beliefs about theology and the spiritual life.

4.0 out of 5 stars An essential companion to more academic versions, 1 Jul 2002
By A Customer
'Awakening Osiris' mightn't be a literal translation, and for some it might veer too close to New Age territory. But many readers will find it an enlightening counterpoint to some of the drier academic versions. Much of Ellis's writing is genuinely inspiring and moving, which surely the Egyptian texts were meant to be. For all we know she might be closer to the spirit of the originals than anyone.

5.0 out of 5 stars This is an outstanding source of the highest information., 19 Jan 1999
By A Customer
Awakening Osiris is one of the best books I have ever encountered. This is the only time I have seen an established spritual text interpreted with such feeling. Spirit resides in these words. All spiritualities will find a common thread here. Seek the book, The End Times too.

5.0 out of 5 stars While not a literal translation of the BoD, Ellis manages to, 29 Dec 1997
By A Customer
While not a literal translation of the BoD, Ellis manages to get across the beauty and emotion of the texts. I would use it as a supplement to the Faulkner translation.
