How To Read The Egyptian Book Of The Dead Paperback / softback
by Barry Kemp
Part of the How to Read series
Paperback / softback
Description
The Egyptians created a world of supernatural forces so vivid, powerful and inescapable that controlling one's destiny within it was a constant preoccupation.
In life, supernatural forces manifested themselves through misfortune and illness,and after death were faced for eternity in the Otherworld, along with the divine gods who controlled the universe.
The Book of the Dead empowered the reader to overcome the dangers lurking in the Otherworld and to become one with the gods who governed.
Barry Kemp selects a number of spells to explore who and what the Egyptians feared and the kind of assistance that the Book offered them, revealing a relationship between the human individual and the divine quite unlike that found in the major faiths of the modern world.
