Journeys with Anubis: A Woman's Initiation Into Ancient Egypt, Paperback/Susanne E. Steinel

Description During a sound meditation, Anubis, the jackal headed God of Egypt, makes himself known to Clara, a young woman from Germany. According to Egyptian myth, Anubis is the one who guides the dead through the underworld and weighs their hearts on a set of scales against the feather of the crown of Isis. Clara is fascinated by Anubis, but she is also taken aback by the mystery of her encounters with him and his animal features. Slowly, she grows to trust him and journeys with him into a cave deep inside the earth which she gradually understands is her own underworld, the place of her "sacred" wounds. She is confronted with her family history and traumata, in particular those connected to one of Germany s darkest chapters of history. With Anubis teaching her Egyptian spirituality and ancient tantric practices, Clara s ordinary sense of reality shifts dramatically. Then Anubis turns up in her apartment. Clara is mesmerized and terrified at the same time. Is he actually a part of her? Or does he exist in other dimensions that she had somehow managed to access? With Clara s quest for healing her "sacred" wounds, "Journeys with Anubis" is a deeply shamanic story. It is a unique story that weaves together ancient Egyptian spiritual teachings about the immortal soul and the union of the masculine and the feminine principles during the day-to-day experiences of a young woman in the 21st century.
