Rating: Summary: A Life in Ancient Egypt Review: This is the life story of Sekeeta a daughter of Pharaoh in ancient Egypt, gifted because of her ability to remember her dreams and experience consciousness while dreaming. The book follows her childhood in the palace, her years in the temple preparing for initiation, her spiritual education and study of ancient legends. Later after the initiation she "marries" her brother and they become co-pharaohs ruling Kam. Many of Sekeeta's experiences as a ruler are described - holding audience and passing judgements, a sea journey to Minoa, the war with the Zuma. First published in 1937 this is apparently an autobiographical account of one the author's previous lives, but even if you can't accept the idea of this as a past life recollection, at the very least it is a really great read for historical fiction fans. So frequently characters in ancient fiction seem to speak and function like twentieth century people with materialistic goals and romantic sentiment, but "Winged Pharaoh" has an authentic feel to it transporting the reader to another time and headspace.
Rating: Summary: This is a rich, uplifting work and should not be missed Review: Whether read as a genuine description of a past life (as asserted by the author) or as historical fiction, this book is excellent in both style and content. As we follow the life, lessons, and triumphs of a girl was born to become Pharoah, we gain insights that are meaningful in living our lives today. We find rulers who are skilled not only as administrators, but also as priests and warriors. We see the model of a leader who is more motivated by love for the people she rules than by images of fame or power. Much of the writing is in a flowing prose style that borders on poetry. I found Winged Pharoah too rich to be devoured as I might a simpler work and rather chose to savor it in smaller doses just before bedtime for a few weeks. In it I found spiritual values that resonate with my own and an affirmation of beliefs that I have come to through living my life and following my spiritual path.

Rating: Summary: This is a rich, uplifting work and should not be missed Review: Yvette Kruger of Pretoria South Africa: This book was truly one of the finest I have read in a long time. I was so passionate about it I wanted to write a review for local magazines and make people aware of this book because it is not available in South Africa at the most well known book shops I have contacted.The difference in a nation ruled by love and spirituality is as day to night in today's world. It shows how we have deteriorated spiritually in the last 2000 years or so. People today confuse religion with spirituality.If you were confused what spirituality really is, "Winged Pharoah" will show you.Her other book "Eyes of Horus" was....ohhh splendid and I was mesmerised....
