Drawing on her travels in modern-day Egypt and her lifelong study of Egyptian mythology and art, Normandi Ellis takes us on a moving autobiographical journey through the sacred sites and rituals of Egypt's past, revealing their restorative and transformative power for contemporary women like herself. Ellis's spell-binding prose weaves a tapestry of the personal past and the spiritual eternal in this exploration of the secret wisdom of ancient Egypt. So often, another's spiritual journey is just that- another's. Not so with this one so beautifully written by Normandi Ellis. Although her odyssey took her into the ancient and alluring mysteries of Egypt, she gives us words for the archetype of sojourn. Her writing is so strong it pierces through the paper and lands squarely on the truths we've faced, or know we must.- Clarissa Pinkola Estes, Ph.D., author of Women Who Run with the Wolves -- Clarissa Pinkola Estes, Ph.D., author of Women Who Run with the Wolves Normandi Ellis has taught English at the University of Colorado and writing at the University of Kentucky.
