[.ca] The Passion of Isis and Osiris: A Gateway to ... (ISBN 0345424778)

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.

for the open-minded spiritual person:
This exploration of the world's most transcendent story of love is rewritten in its entirety within the first chapters. The reader lives the Egyptian tale of the twins Isis and Osiris through a dramatic romanticization of the renowned myth. The author shows how, via detailed exercises, this myth relates to the modern design of marriage and provides the reader with the search for oneself throughout.

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!

Exercises a little lacking:
This book is for those interested in an esoteric interruptaiton of Egyptian mythology. The first section of the book includes a varitety of myths which has have been re-interrupted, while the remaing part of the book are lessons for personal transformation. There is a lot of information contained in the book, but the exercises at the end of each section did not interest me that much.
