Summary: An EXCELENT book!!!
Review: This book is not only a good resource for devotees of Isis, but also a good resource for people just descovering the Goddess and wanting to explore Her many aspects. A SUPERB book on Isis...I havn't seen a finer book on the Goddess.

Summary: Isis the universal Goddess
Review: This is a life changing book of inspiration for seekers of a spiritual path to the Goddess of 10,000 Names. It has obviously been diligently and researched and is historically accurate, though the author's opinions on the great Cleopatra, Pharaoh and High Priestess of Isis, may prove controversial to those who would excoriate the memory the ruler who helped to 'export' the Isian Faith to the rest of the classical world. As well as being a useful handbook for initiates, The Mysteries of Isis also serves as a devotional Book of Hours. I find myself returning to it again and again in times of solitude and meditation. It now travels with me on all my physical and spiritual journeys.

Summary: Nice Mix
Review: This is one of my favorate books about the worship of Isis. The Aurthor is very close to her subject. She mixes history, current thougths, and her own ideas very well. The book is set up as hours of the day, and include sections on divination, meditations, healing, etc. It also makes a great reference book.
