Graphic depicts,The Book of the Dead, which is not about the dead, but the afterlife,
The entire civilization of Ancient Egypt was based on religion, and their beliefs were important to them. Their belief in the rebirth after death became their driving force behind their funeral practices.....(more on funeral 2nd part)

I've been having some incredible dreams lately and decided to do some investigating;-)part one
~*~
Seeking an oracle in
a time that is past
I visit the shrines
of the dead
I find letters of spells
from when Sun God Ra
descended into the
abyss to find Osiris
and to be reborn
Also found excerpts from
book of the dead
and notes of dreams
which are revelations of truth
I come upon a pyramid text
how the Kings prepared for dreams
Gods must be invoked
" Thoth I invoke, blessed power of dreams divine,
Angel of future fates, swift wings are thine,
Great source of oracles to human kind,
When stealing soft, and whispering to the mind,
Through sleep's sweet silence and
the gloom of night,
Thy power awake the sight,
To silent souls the will of heaven relates,
And silently reveals their future fates."
Intrigued I will continue to
journey into the dreamscape
of the ancients that I may
learn the future

Wonder stirs the possibilities within us and our place in the cosmos.
I told you the dreams would come eventually. Do dream on and wonder. Great write!

I know you will, Tiger Lily, and you do it very well.

Take care,

There must be something in the air... ;) I have been doing my own study on this subject as well. Thank you for sharing your visions with us.
I agree with Peter Paton. This journey is one path well worth walking...together :)
(((HUGS))) and much love, your friend in Tx., Karen Lynn. :D
I see this as the key passage " To silent souls the will of heaven relates,
And silently reveals their future fates."
Can't wait for Part 2
The wall hieroglyphic picture is astounding, I think I can see Osiris, Isis, Horus, Anubis, Set....
You rock Eileen...
