*Bruce H. Lipton, Ph.D., epigenetic scientist and author of The
Biology of Belief, Spontaneous Evolut*
“The Union of Isis and Thoth is a fine distillation of Nicki Scully
and Normandi Ellis’s work defining the essential characteristics of
the neteru, and they share their guidance for building temples and
the invocation of these divine beings. This excellent book with
beautiful photos and illustrations offers their shared path for
housing the divine in the world, amazingly in a pure and simple
text that comes from very high places.”
*Barbara Hand Clow, author of The Mind Chronicles: A Visionary
Guide into Past Lives and Revelations*
“This is a fabulous book--a treasure. It begins with cautionary
information about metaphysical practice and proceeds through a
sweeping overview of the gods of ancient Egypt, revealing that the
origin of the ancient word for a divine being--neter--and the root
of the Coptic word netjer, meaning “god,” etymologically become the
English word nature. This book is a rich resource destined to
become a classic.”
*Hank Wesselman, Ph.D., anthropologist and coauthor of Awakening to
the Spirit World*
“Postmodern Priestesses Nicki and Normandi have crafted a book for
temple builders of the future, to teach us the ancient mysteries
and open the gates of wisdom embedded in the living gods and
goddesses of Egypt. Thoth and Isis have offered this vision to
these authors, who share with our desecrated world a vision of
planetary renewal.”
*Alex Grey and Allyson Grey, artists and coauthors of Net of
Being*
“The authors have written a rich shamanic tapestry that eloquently
weaves the sacred threads of Thoth’s wisdom into the high magic and
love of Queen Isis. Enter and explore the initiations presented in
this book through the union of these two amazing energies.”
*Linda Star Wolf, Ph.D., founder of Venus Rising Association for
Transformation and coauthor of Shama*
“. . . an invitation to forge a deep, meaningful, and direct
relationship with the pantheon and your inner sanctuary from a
place of equanimity: eye-to-eye, peer-to-peer, divine-to-divine.
Perhaps your best friend, divine partner, and staunch ally resides
within these pages. Once you are reunited your life is forever
changed.
*Danielle Rama Hoffman, author of The Temples of Light and The
Council of Light*
“Normandi and Nicki’s combined and deep wisdom of ancient Egypt and
its pantheon weave a portal of initiation through magic and ritual.
This book is a must have!”
*Kathryn Ravenwood, author of How to Create Sacred Water*
“The Union of Isis and Thoth is a unique gift to all those questing
for the essence of mystical Egypt. It is the essential guide of
practical wisdom delivered from the mind of Thoth to a waiting
world.”
*Naomi Ozaniec, author of The Breath of Isis*
“The Union of Isis and Thoth is yet another gem which causes me to
stop every few pages and think with delighted envy: I didn’t know
that!”
*Alan Richardson, author of The Inner Guide to Egypt*
"All true seekers can benefit from the vivid imagery and profound
initiatory teachings provided in this remarkable book."
*Robert Simmons, The Tucson Metaguide, January 2016*
“The esoteric tradition has long held that the initiate is a
temple, and thus the purpose of initiation is to prepare that human
temple for a greater influx of the Divine. The Union of Isis and
Thoth teaches us how to make that initiatory temple real within
ourselves. The inner journeys through which they lead us are
beautiful and visceral. The magic is potent. The Mysteries are
revealed by experienced teachers. Let this book help you realize
the union of Heaven and Earth in the place where they have always
met: the sacred temple of the self.”
*M. Isidora Forrest, author of Isis Magic and Offering to Isis*
“This is a beautiful book that uses, explains and teaches the
ancient mysteries and opens up the wisdom of the Gods and Goddesses
of ancient Egypt. This is also an excellent Egyptian history and
source for the understanding of who the Gods of Egypt were, and
what they represented and what their powers were.”
*Awareness Magazine, Gary Miller, May 2016*
