I was pulled into Sue’s book with her opening lines and hardly put it down until I was finished reading it a day after I began. Sue is gift story-teller, and her knowledge of ancient lore, as well as the ancient, eternal wisdom of “Truth,” is apparent in this book. The writing in The Osiriad is lyrical and flowing, told through the narrative voice of Isis, the Egyptian Goddess of Magic. While reading it, I could not help but feel the energy of Isis flowing through the words. It was magic. A must read for anyone drawn to the ancient wisdom of Egypt, which brings us all home to the truth that is Love.

***

“It had been a long time. The separation weighed heavy upon my heart though I knew that Osiris and I but served. Our people flourished and what is time to the gods?

Yet living among the hearts of the world, the emotions brought into it by Hathor’s Becoming had touched us all and I missed his bright presence. I woke each day to an empty bed and reached out in the night to hold only solitude, never knowing how many nights I would long for his touch.

It is odd this thing we call Love. Even I am held captive by it, though I see beyond form and face to the timeless Essence of Being.

It is a destructive thing. At its worst we are slaves to the reaction of emotions and it breaks us in pieces. At its best, we are freed from the chains of self by the Breaking Open of the Heart. And while the latter is the greatest of gifts, it may be no more comfortable than the former. Yet passion is required to reach either of these extremes. For most there is but a middle way that is little more than a mediocrity fearful of relinquishing the least fragment of selfhood. This is not Love.

Ra is the greatest of the gods. It is not without reason that he called forth Sekhmet and Hathor as one and the same.”
