Description
Book SynopsisA step-by-step guide to developing an embodied relationship with Egyptian divinities• Details the nine stages of the ancient Egyptian initiatory path, describing each stage’s powers as well as the culminating ceremony called “The Crown of Isis”
• Provides profound guided meditations for each of the nine stages and illustrates the manifestation of this path’s principles through stories of awakening

The Sacred Science of ancient Egypt was an initiatory spiritual system, a technology of consciousness designed to birth a mystical communion with the divinities, an embodied union of being between the eternal and the mortal. After initiation was completed, the re-identified being, now divinely possessed, was known as a Garment of Isis, signifying that the goddess Isis dwelt within them.
Offering a practical guide to the key principles within the Egyptian temple tradition, Naomi Ozaniec explores the process of creating and developing a personal relationship with the Neteru, the divinities and forces of creation of ancient Egypt. She details the nine stages of this initiatory path, which are divided into three phases--heartmind, spiritmind, and soulmind. This step-by-step, interactive process culminates in a ceremony called The Crown of Isis. The author provides profound guided meditations and illustrates the manifestation of the initiate’s powers through stories of awakening brought on by this spiritual path. She also shares her personal journey as a Garment of Isis and her own powerful interactions with Isis.
An accessible yet substantive guide to initiation into the Egyptian Mysteries, this book details how to gradually awaken and attune your mind to the symbolic, open access to higher realms of consciousness, and enter into a mystical marriage between personal and divine consciousness.
Trade Review“Consistently with each book, Naomi Ozaniec has been called-- powerfully called--to demonstrate what it means to be a metaphysician, a priestess, and a living Garment of Isis. If you feel you have been called by She of 10,000 names, this book will assure you of your place in Her retinue. The work of the priestess requires an open heartmind. It is deep, both personal and transpersonal, conscious-expanding, and entirely necessary for our planet’s transformation. This is a necessary guidebook for our Aquarian age.” * Rev. Normandi Ellis, D.D., author of Hieroglyphic Words of Power *
