The interest in the religion and spirituality of the Egyptians is increasing steadily as people begin to realise that it is possible to follow this ancient belief in the 21st century. This religion is the oldest recorded belief system in the world, having just entered its sixth millennia - and can still teach us how to live in both earthly and cosmic harmony.  But first, we need to put things into some sort of perspective ...  The modern, abstract cover design instead of traditional artwork immediately suggests that 'The Atum-Re Revival : Ancient Egyptian Wisdom for the Modern World' is going to offer a different approach to ancient Egypt.  As one reader said:  "A really well written, interesting and knowledgeable book; having quite an interest in the Egyptian Mystery Tradition, I found this to be an extremely solid and informative text.  I have studied a little Egyptian magic, but this book is fascinating and goes much further than anything I have previously read."    Unusually, the text examines ancient Egyptian belief from earlier times rather than the later, more familiar Greek influences.  It also includes a genuine calendar that has been compiled from various Greek and Demotic Magical Papyri lodged in the British Museum, the Bibliotheque Nationale in Paris, the Staarliche Museum in Berlin and the Rijksmuseum in Leiden; the Sallier Papyrus IV and The Cairo Calendar currently lodged in the British and Cairo Museums. The calendar lists the names of the deities whose anniversaries take place on every day of the year including special spells (prayers) that were devised for the protection on certain 'unlucky' days.  Every day was considered to have some magical significance, which caused it to be "good, bad, or partly good and partly bad".  By consulting these lists of lucky and unlucky days, each individual could protect himself and his family against the danger of the day. It is also interesting to see just how much ancient Egyptian customs and philosophy has influenced Western European culture and metaphysics right up to the 20th century.   The author, Melusine Draco is Principal of the Temple of Khem, which teaches the modern Egyptian Mysteries and as she says: "By viewing the Egyptian Mystery Tradition as a continuing and expanding faith, with its own temple calendar, established history and 'futuristic' thinking, it is possible to see that this very ancient wisdom has a very positive place in the modern world."

The first pope could have been a woman. Why isn't Teresa lll or Catherine V waving at us from the Vatican window in St. Peter's Square? After all, Jesus made no bones about gender issues. And Mary Magdalene was certainly most fitting to be the first bishop of Rome. So what when wrong? As is often the case, the issue is the bending of truth. Eve and Mary: The Search for Lost Beauty and Sensuality is an exciting voyage of historical and cultural discovery that steps into the stream of familiar legends and myths as well as other unusual and surprising events, seeking, exploring and making sense of the stigmatization of sexual pleasure and the vanishing of beauty in the Early Middle Ages in Europe.

There are two types of gnosis or knowing: one taught by mysticism, the other by science. In confining itself to the study of what can be tested or experienced, science fails to cover ultimate causes. Mysticism and Science is a lucid, poetic, impassioned statement by a mystic explaining the current movement in science toward a spiritual world view.

Early in 2009 Theolyn Cortens, poet, astrologer and esotericist, well known for her channelling of inspirational messages from angels, started to receive messages from a group of twelve disincarnate Nephalim, the ‘great ones of old’ mentioned in biblical texts, who want to offer guidance to humanity during these times of change. The extraordinary material in this inspired book will make a unique and valuable contribution to understanding how human evolution can move us all towards a remarkable future. Theolyn’s conversations with the Nephalim confirm that we are supported by invisible ‘elders’, or ‘ancestors’ in our commitment to live in to our highest possibilities. Then we will exist in harmony with each other and with all the other creatures that dwell on our beautiful planet. The spokesperson for the Nephalim is Seth. He explains: Our mission is to remind all humanity that history will not have to repeat itself, if only enough of you take on the full responsibility of your real destiny.

They amounted to a monumental 1600 pages and have spawned many other lesser works.
