Eternal Egypt: Ancient Rituals for the Modern World is the first comprehensive collection of important temple rituals performed throughout Egypt during the time of the pharaohs. The author presents seven key rites from official temple records and ancient esoteric texts for personal or group use. This guidebook also: - presents rituals in a form designed to assist initiates in restoring the ancient rites of Egypt; - provides for modern usage, key ritual texts coming solely from authenticated ancient sources; - contains easy to follow commentaries and background information on each ritual, including symbolism and mythology not previously available in one book; - gives text with commentary for the “Opening of the Mouth” ceremony; - offers practical information for conducting these rituals in today’s world. Formerly only available to the scholar and professional Egyptologist, these ritual texts reveal the deeply spiritual understanding of humanity’s relationship to divinity that characterized the ancient Egyptian sense of the sacred. This is a practical intermediate level text for those wishing to worship the great deities of ancient Egypt in as authentic a manner as possible, and by so doing tap into the great spiritual heritage that sustained Egyptian culture for over three thousand years.

For over 35 years I have searched books and the past trying to solve Alchemy! The magic of the Philosophers Stone. Turn lead to gold! A cure all medicine! The fountain of youth! Was it just wishful thinking, or is there a basis of fact? I soon learned the subject had lasted as a rumor, mythology, or perhaps just as an idea. Something I believed had to be there, something was overlooked. Now, it seems that the something had not been overlooked, instead was hidden from the masses for many reasons. That something will astound you, will surprise you yet you will know it is truth. Who would have thought that Genesis was really about the yearly cycle? That the process of making the stone is really about the understanding of the creation. Also that the stone is about how nature can and does handle matter. Now with art (man and nature), I found more can be done with matter and so perfect it. You will see that matter handled correctly is purified over time and within shape. That shape is a glass pyramid oven. You may know of it as 'the firmament.' This is the magic, and produces a substance that convinced man of God! You will see that this power of generation is the God of early man, and finding the purified matter led to several things. First the process of Genesis, though I am not sure what it originally was called. That process led to astrology, and the naming and defined understanding of those constellations passing overhead. Finally it led to a religion, which was that of Isis and Osiris. When understood you will see that those are the religions of today, and little has changed. You will then know why all of this was hidden from you! Lastly you will know the All and want to make this substance. You will understand that you're a part of, and maintained by this system. That we need to maintain it before we cause it to destroys us! This is then Alchemy understood, the enchanting power of transformation.

"Robert Armour's classic text, long cherished by a generation of readers, is now complemented with more than 50 new photographs by Egyptologist Edwin Brock and drawings by Elizabeth Rodenbeck that show the gods in their characteristic forms." "Armour maintains a strong narrative thread with illuminating commentary in his lively retelling of stories from Egyptian mythology, including those of the sun god Ra, the tragic tale of Isis and Osiris, the burlesque of Horus' battle with the evil Seth, and the "gods of the intellect" Thoth and Maat. Now with an updated bibliography and new appendices, this book is sure to inform and enchant a new generation of readers."--Jacket.

This book was turned into a feature film which scooped international awards throughout Europe. It finally solves that question that has vexed us for centuries; "Why did the Egyptians build their insane pyramids?". They were the World's first skyscrapers. One of them in particular, the 'Great Pyramid' is the last of the Seven Wonders of the World and it’s a miracle that it still stands. Many have tried to destroy it, even today, ISIS sought to do the same. And while Cleopatra seems remote to us, she lived closer to our time than she did to that of the pyramid builders... mammoths still roamed the Earth when the Great Pyramid was created!! Despite it being the most incredible structure that humans have ever built, we still have no idea what its function was. Most assume it was to be the tomb for King Khufu, but then again, most agree that he was never buried there!? So why then did they spend two decades building what was to be the World’s tallest building for the next 4,000 years? Surely, even the Ancient Egyptians weren’t so vain as to devote so much time and effort to simply proving the greatness of Pharaoh Khufu? Its measures are so precise that my distant ancestor 'Isaac Newton' studied its dimensions to gauge the size of the planet. Others are so overwhelmed by its exactitude and its immense size that they feel that they have to attribute it to aliens, or Atlanteans. It's understandable then, that we struggle to understand its purpose. This book though, finally reveals the truth and its stranger than any fiction we could conjure––they believed that their pyramids were necessary to save Pharaoh's life, but also, to turn him into a god!
