    An unexpected treasure
  

*by M***K on Reviewed in the United States on January 15, 2021*

I am not at all sure why I ordered this.  But I am very glad that I did.  I think I wanted a peek into our past, and what I got was a peek into ourselves.  I've been reading one story at a time, giving it time to mellow, like a fine wine.  I've been rewarded with surprises at every turn, some funny, some insightful.  When I finish it, I have no doubt that I will begin again.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Excellent spiritual meditations for life, after-life, nature, and the Divine
  

*by Z***O on Reviewed in the United States on July 31, 2016*

This is a truly wonderful, spiritual, engaging, and creative interpretation of the Egyptian Book of the Dead.  It's a poetic prose narrative that never feels dry or outdated; the author succeeded in making something fresh and new of a very ancient, supremely wise text.  The first time I read it, a few years ago, I was amazed that something called "The Book of the Dead" could be understood in such a vital, artistic, and mystical way, not just a set of funerary spells but as hymns and prayers to the Divine.  It's the first and only book to make me choke up and cry on very many occasions because the words and ideals are so deeply moving, wise, and spiritual.  I can say that even as an adult man.  Now that I read it for a second time, I feel the same way, and it gives a new light and energy to my outlook on life, which has often suffered from despair and negativity on more than one occasion.  I've expressed my opinion to a few friends before that if there was only one book that could be called the word of God(s), it must be "Awakening Osiris" (though this could be said of other Egyptian hymns and prayers as well).  Recommended for anyone who has a spiritual interest in ancient Egyptian religious thought or Kemeticism, or general mysticism.  The book is filled with proverb-like insights into metaphysics, human nature, ethics, nature of reality, theology, mythology, and love.It should be noted that the book is not a literal translation of the Book of the Dead and the reader may wish to examine Faulkner's translation for a more literal reading.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    An inspiring text celebrating life and death
  

*by D***G on Reviewed in the United States on March 7, 2020*

This is one of my favorite books of all time. The syntax is pure magic, vivid and stirring on a soulful level. This book helps quell fears of "the end" through a unifying message that we are all connected, and I often return to it for meditation and guidance. Ellis did a truly amazing job bringing these words to the modern age.
