This review was written by my wife, Heather Nix.

This book is great for anyone interested in learning the lineage of Egyptian Deity. The book goes into ka, sekhem,and the Heavenly Kine. The word ka is usually defined as double.The ka is a kind of spirit twin of each person in the spirit world. The sekhem relates to the ka in that sekhem is usually defined as power. So, my understanding is that ka and sekhem are basically one and the same. The Heavenly Kine relate to the Hindu Kundalini-yoga chakra system.

Although ancient Egyptians did not usually cast circles, that being a later invention, this book tells how to cast egyptian style circles for the modern witch. It gives information on opening, closing and other details of circle casting.

There is a pronunciation guide for difficult words like neteru. Also the important difference between invocation and evocation. It talks about totem animals and
how to do magical workings with them.

Then it tells of the egyptian pantheon, the Heliopolitan Ennead, of Ra-Atum, Shu, Tefnut, Geb, Nut, Osiris, Set, Isis, and Nephthys. It tells you that Ra-Atum is the beginning or creator and from his masturbation came Shu and
Tefnut.

Then comes Geb (the earth) and Nut (the sky) Twins, son and daughter or Shu and Tefnut.

Geb is the twin brother of Nut. He is also the Father of Osiris and Isis, Set, Nephthys.

Nut is the twin sister of Geb.

From Geb come Osiris, Isis, Set, and Nephthys. The Pyramid Texts state that "none of these entities is separate from him, Atum."

This is a great breakdown of the lineage for anyone! After reading this Egyptian history made much more sense for me. It breaks down each deity in detail with each having its own special
focus.

There are invocation passages for some deities, with a reply and closing ritual for some of them.

The ones with replies can be used as the charge in Wiccan rites. It has a chapter for each of the following deities: Ra-Atum, Amun, Ptah, Neith,
Khnum,Thoth,Hathor,Sekhmet and Bast, Shu, Maat, Nut, Geb, Osiris, Isis, Set, Nephthys, Horus the Elder, Harsiesis, Anubis, Min, Khonsu, and Imhotep. Egyptian Paganism for beginners has a lot of useful information for anyone.
