Song of Hathor
Ancient Egyptian Ritual for Today
For millennia, the enigmatic rituals and spiritual practices of Ancient Egypt have captivated and inspired seekers of wisdom. Now, for the first time, Song of Hathor unveils a comprehensive guide to the authentic ceremonial and magical traditions of this ancient civilization.
Drawing on over 40 years of meticulous research and using translations from temple inscriptions and sacred texts—many newly interpreted—this work offers an unprecedented glimpse into the heart of Egyptian ritual. Authoritative yet accessible, Song of Hathor is both a practical guide and an invitation to delve into the profound mysteries of the Neteru, the forces of nature worshipped as gods, and Ma’at, the divine harmony that underpinned their world.
Rich with history, cultural insight, and actionable techniques, this expanded second edition incorporates significant new content, including material previously available only to private students. The revised edition builds on the foundation of the original work, offering even deeper insights and additional rituals to guide practitioners on their spiritual journey.
Explore:
- The spiritual significance of Egypt’s lunar and civil calendars.
- The role of the Nile and cosmic cycles in shaping festivals and rituals.
- The wisdom of Hathor, the goddess of joy, love, and creativity, and her central place in Egyptian worship.
- The essential tools for understanding and performing Ancient Egyptian magic, including deep respect for the divine forces as living entities.
Whether you’re a seasoned practitioner or new to the path, Song of Hathor provides an essential resource for spiritual growth through the timeless wisdom of Ancient Egypt. This revised and enriched edition is a tribute to an enduring legacy—an inheritance now accessible to modern seekers.
