Includes a foreword by Normandi Ellis, author of Awakening Osiris and The Union of Isis and Thoth From Mat Auryn, author of Psychic Witch, Mastering Magick, and The Psychic Art of Tarot, via Instagram (matauryn) : The Complete Encyclopedia of Egyptian Deities by Dr. Tamara L. Siuda is a beautiful piece of work, representative of over a quarter of a century of scholarly research and spiritual practice. As a wonderful display of research, and devotion, every single page rings out with her scholarship in the fields of Egyptology and Coptology, providing readers with an exceedingly thorough reference on the divine pantheon of Egypt. Writing with academic thoroughness yet fully informed by personal religious insight, it is, in my opinion, the most complete encyclopedia I've encountered on the subject so far. It's particularly valuable to the contemporary Kemetic polytheist in that it is penned by a Neteru-dedicated scholar. Full color photographs and illustrations make this stunning and informative book come alive with the world of the Ancient Egyptians and their gods and goddesses. More than just an academic reference, The Complete Encyclopedia of Egyptian Deities is a door into deeper understanding of Egyptian spirituality and religion. Dr. Siuda is both scholarly and reverent in the book, and masterfully details so much information about each deity, from their centers of worship, family links, their various names, symbolic relationships other deities, and so much more. Whether you are an experienced academic or simply curious, the work of Dr. Siuda is something that is going to enlighten, inspire, and promote an understanding and appreciation of ancient Egyptian deities. The cherry on top, or perhaps I should say capstone on the pyramid, is a wonderful foreword by Normandi Ellis. From Rebecca Elson of The Magical Buffet, 5 stars on Goodreads (8/26/2024): I'm way behind on my book reviews but I absolutely had to make sure you knew about this one. I asked to receive a review copy of The Complete Encyclopedia of Egyptian Deities by Dr. Tamara L. Siuda solely because my library was lacking books on the subject. I hadn't realized that this book was literally going to reinvent the game as for what to expect from books about deities. The Complete Encyclopedia of Egyptian Deities profiles over 100 different gods, goddesses, demigods, and other divine beings. Sure, you get a lot of the "standard" information you'd expect: personality, symbols, appearance, and associations. Some of the information that you'll find, that isn't often found, is the name in hieroglyphs, details on their festivals and places of worship, as well as familial relations. Better still, Siuda highlights not only locations of significance to the deity in the past, but also for today, and how the deities are celebrated in modern times. With all of this, including extensive illustrations and additional reading recommendations, The Complete Encyclopedia of Egyptian Deities by Dr. Tamara L. Siuda is not only the definitive text on Egyptian deities, but it sets the template of what all other books about deities should aspire to be. Dr. Tamara L. Siuda has been studying and writing about Egypt for more than twenty-five years and holds advanced degrees in Egyptology, Coptology, and religion. She has published multiple books and academic articles on Egyptian topics, including The Ancient Egyptian Prayerbook, The Hourly Vigil of Osiri
