NEW! 10th Anniversary Edition is revised and expanded
PORTLAND, OREGON—After being out of print for
more than six years and with prices for that out-of-print first edition rising
to $400 or more, Isis Magic is back
in a revised and expanded 10th anniversary edition.
Writer Normandi Elliis, author of Awakening Osiris and Dreams
of Isis, says of this new edition, “I
am thrilled that this pivotal book is being reissued. Whether you know Her
well, or whether She has called you to know her more intimately, this book will
bring you closer to Isis as an embodiment of
the eternal presence of mystery, healing and love. This book is indeed Isis
Magic at its best.” (To see more reviews of Isis Magic, please visit www.abiegnushouse.com/reviews)
Isis
Magic has served as a resource and inspiration for a wide
range of people. Historical novelist Stephanie Dray used it to research the
religion of Isis for her three-novel series on
the life of Cleopatra’s daughter, Cleopatra Selene. Importantly, it has been a
valuable guide for the thousands of women and men who have used it to create or
deepen their personal relationship with one of the most well-known and
well-loved Goddesses of all time, the Egyptian Goddess Isis.
Isis
Magic begins with a well-researched and in-depth history of
the nature and worship of Isis from Her
ancient Egyptian origins to the modern day. In this first part of the book,
readers discover the many faces of Isis, from Ancient Bird of Prey Goddess and
Lady of Magic to Queen of the Mysteries, Savior, and Mistress of Hermetic
Wisdom. Readers will learn how Isis later
became disguised as a Black Madonna, a historical Queen of Egypt, and even as
an Alchemical Principle—as well as how Her true identity as a Goddess was
retained in the inner teachings of some secret societies. Finally, readers
follow Isis into the 20th and 21st centuries as Her
undisguised worship is revived, first by colorful personalities like Dion
Fortune and influential groups such as the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn,
and today by worldwide associations like the Fellowship of Isis.
The book’s second half applies this knowledge to a
four-part spiritual journey to the heart of the Goddess. With each step, the
reader enters a successively deeper stage of relationship with Isis. By participating in exercises, meditations, and
powerful, beautifully written rituals, readers can initiate themselves into the
magical religion of Isis and become, if they
so desire, Her dedicated priestess or priest.
The 10th anniversary edition includes a
variety of new rituals—including new initiatory rites and a same-sex wedding
ceremony—as well as new meditations, illustrations, and photographs.
Written by M. Isidora Forrest, an ordained Priestess of
Isis and Hermetic Adept, Isis Magic brings
the worship of Isis to life. It is the perfect
resource to aid the individual seeker, to inspire a circle, coven, or Iseum, or
to serve as a program of spiritual growth and personal development for those
called by Isis to be Her priestesses and
priests.
Isis
Magic is available via the publisher’s website, www.abiegnushouse.com for $29.95 (the
same price as the original edition of more than 10 years ago). Other retail
outlets are also being investigated.
