Produktbeschreibung
"I am the one who knows the paths of the hidden stars, the gates of the night, and the names of those who dwell beyond the horizon." From the shadowed tombs of the Pharaohs to the sacred papyri buried with the dead, the ancient Egyptians left behind a map-not of their empire, but of eternity itself. Voices of Eternity: The Ancient Egyptian Book of the Duat journeys spell by spell through that celestial landscape, revealing the words, invocations, and cosmic truths that guided the soul through the perilous realms of the afterlife. Drawing from the timeless legacy of The Book of the Dead-known to the ancients as The Book of Coming Forth by Day-this volume reimagines its sacred verses as a coherent passage through the Duat, the underworld of stars and gods. Each spell becomes a key, each chapter a gate, each symbol a voice echoing across the millennia. Within these pages, readers will encounter the solar barque of Ra, the trials before Osiris, the serpents of chaos, and the promise of eternal dawn. Blending historical translation with mythic narrative and deep esoteric insight, this book offers not merely a study of ancient funerary texts but an initiation into the Egyptian vision of immortality-a cosmos where death is not an end, but a transformation. Let the voices of the ancients speak again, guiding you through the gates of the Duat, toward the everlasting fields of light.
