Title: A good starting point for Ancient Egyptian religion studies.
Review: My only regret with this book was that it was far too short! However, it presented the Egyptian gods (or netjer, as the author refers to them) from a fresh, new perspective hitherto unseen in most texts pertaining to them (including most Wiccan "Egyptian" books). After so many years of poorly-researched books and manuals that used Budge or 70's romance novels as their references on the subject, it's good to see someone out there worth her salt putting effort into the matter (and amusing to see how many people imitate her pronunciations and use her definitions without giving her any credit whatsoever). This book touched me deeply, and has led me to question much of what I thought of the Egyptian belief system. For that alone, it is worth my praise. Now if she'd just write another one....
