Awakening Osiris

The Spiritual Keys to the Egyptian Book of the Dead

By: Normandi Ellis

Narrated by: Tegan Ashton Cohan

A beautiful and engaging rendering of the Egyptian Book of the Dead.

The Egyptian Book of the Dead is one of the oldest and greatest classics of Western spirituality. Until now, the available translations have treated these writings as historical curiosities that have little relevance to our contemporary situations. This new version, made from the hieroglyphs, approaches the Book of the Dead as a profound spiritual text capable of speaking to us today. These writings suggest that the divine realm and the human realm are not altogether separate—they remind us that the natural world, and the substance of our lives, is fashioned from the stuff of the gods. Devoted like an Egyptian scribe to the principle of "effective utterance," Normandi Ellis has produced a prose translation that unfolds like pure diaphanous verse.

Compelling & thought provoking

A truly good listen. Highly recommend! Your life cannot be the same after you listen to Ellis’ interpretation of coming into light.
