Egyptian Book of the Dead (via words-and-coffee) Very wrongly attributed! This is from Chapter 45 of Normandi Ellis’s poetic “translation” of the BotD called “Awakening Osiris” and is a chapter which she states she wrote herself. It has NO corresponding chapter in the BotD. This was not written by an ancient Egyptian and does not come from the BotD. (via bigbadjackal) |
