Dreams of Isis: A Woman's Spiritual Sojourn

My favorite so far of ms ellis

A very nice and insightful read. It is nice to enter the mind of someone who apparently has thought processes similar to mine. This is not an immature account of how I found my belief system but a mature reflection.

Normandi is a beautiful writer and I enjoyed her depth of concousness I journeyed deep in to the mysteries of Isis

an insightful good read!

If you want to get lost in the multidimensional spiral journey through the dust of Egyptian dessert and the ages of the endless confusion to peek under veils of Isis, this book is for you.

I love it

I bought and read this book and re-tread this book many years ago. Passages that I underlined, I later hightlighted, checked and astericked ...it was (and still is) just that great of an experience. being a man and male devotee of the Goddess in this her Name of Isis is journey to say the least. And, most of the modern insights and leading voices for the 21st Century Isiakoi have been that of our sister-priestesses. But!...this particular volumn has Knowledge and Wisdom and above else the Love of the Great One flowing throughout it for both men and women of White Linen. In Sister Ellis's writings is a deepening of the inital tastes we are blessed with in the works of deRegula, Reedd and Forrest (The Mysteries of Isis, Invocation of the Gods and Isis Magic, respectively); and there is more 'meat' to the bones than that which we find in the esoterics of Dion Fortune novels and in the scholarchip of R.E Witt (Isis in the Ancient World. For me, and especially so of striving to cultivate the hard alchemy of Black Isis in my heart, I have been often moved to tears with the reading.Anyway, I can not recommend this book enough. It is well worth the reading and the studying whether or not you are modern Isiakoi.En Rennu em Uret Auset,Anekh-Udjah-Seneb em Hetep, Amma!

This delightfully named book is an autobiography of the writer's journey through the Ancient Egyptian myths and symbols. In essence it is a spiritual voyage of discovery which entwines in it discussions of scholarly texts. The end result of the author's experiences is a collection of insights into the human experience and psyche. The book is divided into three parts (The light of heaven; The bodies of light; The light within), has no illustrations, and offers a good 13-page bibliography and excellent footnotes. She discusses the Pyramid Text of Unas, the Legend of Ra and Sekhmet, the opposition of Osiris and Seth, and the Myth of Isis and Orisis, as well as the Ka, Ba and Akh of the Ancient Egyptian, among several subjects. It is recommended for the spiritually open-minded.

Having treasured Awakening Osiris for years, I was delighted to find this book. It is a beautiful clean copy, and pleasingly printed in an elongated vertical format. I have only just started reading it but already i can tell it is up to NE's inspired and inspiring best. What a rare writer she is, whose words just resound off the page with the thrilling harmonic of spiritual truth. She is the real thing, so rare today when there are so many deluded phonies claiming to be enlightened. If you haven't read Awakening Osiris, treat yourself. It's amazing! I hope this book will be too.

This was purchased as a gift for someone having difficulty getting it.. My friend is absolutely delighted with it - the book is in excellent condition. She has become an Amazon convert.

What a delicious read! Ellis weaves ancient Egyptian history and mythology into her own personal inner and outer journey in life. I swear I have highlighted half the book!
