Here, on sumptuously illustrated, colorful pages of traditional art and hieroglyphs, appear the spells, rites, fortune-telling systems, and talismans of the goddess Isis, narrated as if in her own voice. All these techniques are based on authentic sources, and they cover topics close to everyone's heart: health and good fortune; scarab amulets for protection against poisons; incantations to end feuding; and recipes for elixirs of seduction. Even predict the future through the Omen of the Flame, the Egyptian zodiac, and the Cairo Calendar of Auspicious Days. Fact panels and myths provide additional information on the background of each enchantment, and on ancient Egyptian life. A Selection of the One Spirit Book Club.
This is a good book. There are many beautiful pictures, and the book itself is very easy to understand. There are a few spells and chants, but not so much on rituals. It tells a great story of Isis and her life. Easy to follow. It looks like a thin book, but it has a lot of information in it. I especially love the horoscope section where they mention auspicious days of the year. This book is a fun read and the author writes in a language that makes it very easy to understand. This was my first book on Isis, and it is good for learning about her life. For learning about her rituals and what not, Isis Magic by M. Isidora Forrest is the best choice.
