Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In The Tradition of Hermes Trismegistus, Christian H. Bull argues that the treatises attributed to Hermes Trismegistus reflect the spiritual exercises and ritual practices of loosely organized brotherhoods in Egypt. These small groups were directed by Egyptian priests educated in the traditional lore of the temples, but also conversant with Greek philosophy. Such priests, who were increasingly dispossessed with the gradual demise of the Egyptian temples, could find eager adherents among a Greek-speaking audience seeking for the wisdom of the Egyptian Hermes, who was widely considered to be an important source for the philosophies of Pythagoras and Plato. The volume contains a comprehensive analysis of the myths of Hermes Trismegistus, a reevaluation of the Way of Hermes, and a contextualization of this ritual tradition.

Download or read book Motherhood and Early Childhood in Ancient Egypt written by Amandine Marshall and published by American University in Cairo Press. This book was released on 2024-10-22 with total page 233 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A richly nuanced analysis of how ancient Egyptian society regarded and dealt with pregnancy, mothers, birth, and children In ancient Egypt, a woman’s primary role was that of mother, and as such she ensured her place within both her household and her community. And so, gods, doctor-magicians, as well as ghosts were all called upon to help the woman become pregnant. Pregnancy was not without risks, and the many tests, prescriptions, and spells that have survived to this day help us to understand obstetrics as it was practiced in those distant times. Once the woman had eluded the ill will of Seth—who was held responsible for miscarriages—and had reached her term, she was faced with the much awaited and yet also feared moment of birth. The successful delivery of a child into the world was seen as a gift of the gods, but it did not mean that the parent’s worries were over. Indeed, it has been estimated that a third of all children did not reach the age of five years despite the combined efforts of parents and doctor-magicians to protect them. Amandine Marshall draws upon a wealth of sources, including texts, images, iconography, artefacts, and children’s bodies themselves, as well as medicine, anthropology, and ethnography, to examine these issues and more, and in doing so sheds unprecedented light on the experience of maternity and early childhood in ancient Egypt.

L'auteur évoque aussi l'intervention de la femme dans les rites magiques, la sorcellerie, l'envoûtement et sa présence dans les fêtes et plaisirs, à travers la danse et le chant sacré.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: C'est la première fois que ce texte fondateur de la civilisation égyptienne est livré au public. Préfacé et commenté par le spécialiste le plus célèbre de l'Egypte ancienne, Christian Jacq, il nous permet de connaître les fondements de la civilisation égyptienne. Rédigés en hiéroglyphes par les sages de la ville sainte d'Héliopolis, {les Textes des Pyramides} nous donnent accès aux thèmes essentiels de la pensée de l'Egypte pharaonique. Quel est le sens de la vie ? Quelle est la signification de la mort ? Ils nous livrent une véritable science de la résurrection. Il suffit de sourire, de vivre sa vie, de mourir sa mort pour prétendre à l'éternité. Evoquant les dieux, la nature, la place qu'on doit accorder à l'homme, ces textes se présentent comme un manuel de vie : au ciel, on vit ; sur terre, on existe.
