Great introduction to a timeless drama

Jean Houston succeeds in bringing a very ancient mythological story all the way to the present time. She really lives what she teaches, and she guides us to do so as well. Our lives can benefit a lot from the richness of ancient wisdom!

allright book...

I know alot of the myth in the book isn't proven to be true as of now, with all my reading. But it is a very nice story. It is just kind of all over the place, and seperated with exersizes, like a school book or something. I thought the myth was wonderful, it gave such detail and all of Osirus and Isis, and the other Gods and Goddess involved. The book includes some information about Horus, Seth, Nephthys, Ra, Geb, and some others. It's a pretty nice book. I dont care for the exersizes, I just wanted to read and learn more about the myth, some of it in here is exagerated, but other than that it's nice.
