This fascinating work explains the salient points and theological system behind ancient Egyptian religion, covering the pantheon of gods and goddesses, the nature of the human soul and the afterlife concepts which coloured much of Egyptian occultism, art and architecture. Explains the monotheistic belief that underlies Egyptian paganism and the roles played by the various gods as representatives of the source, also delving into how each deity relates to an aspect of the human soul. Also describes in detail the Egyptian funerary rites and mystical ceremonies, with invocations to the gods included. A very important work for those interested in early mystical traditions, embellished with may full page illustrations.
