The first female pharaoh: Sobekneferu, goddess of the seven stars
Par Andrew Collins. 2023
• Reveals the achievements of Sobekneferu, the political and religious issues of her age, the temples and ruins associated with…
her, and her continuing impact on ancient Egypt after her reign • Discusses Sobekneferu's magical beliefs and practices centered on the crocodile god Sobek, the hippo goddess Neith, and their representation as constellations • Examines the modern-day resurrection of Sobekneferu among mystics and occultists of Victorian London, including her role in Bram Stoker's shocking gothic novel, The Jewel of the Seven Stars Cleopatra. Nefertiti. Hatshepsut. All of them are ancient Egyptian female rulers who rose above their predominantly patriarchal societies to become controllers of a great empire. Missing from this list, however, is Sobekneferu, ancient Egypt's first female ruler. Why was the reign of this powerful woman all but forgotten? Piecing together the lost history of the first female pharaoh, Andrew Collins presents the first comprehensive biography of Sobekneferu. Using every text and monument that concerns Sobekneferu and her time in power, he examines her achievements as ruler, the political and religious issues of her age, the temples and ruins associated with her, and her continuing impact on ancient Egypt after her reign. He explores her relationship with her brother Amenemhat IV, her sister Neferuptah, and their father Amenemhat III, regarded as one of the most beloved pharaohs of the Middle Kingdom. He examines Sobekneferu's untimely end, the fate of her body, and the cult that developed in her name. Discussing Sobekneferu's magical beliefs and practices, Collins shows how they centered on the crocodile god Sobek, the hippopotamus goddess Neith, and Sekhmet, the goddess presiding over divine power. He reveals also how Sobekneferu's suspected pyramid was positioned to align with the setting of Eltanin, the brightest star in the constellation of Draco, seen in ancient Egypt as the celestial form of Sobek. Examining the modern-day resurrection of Sobekneferu among the occultists and mystics of Victorian London, Collins shows how she is the true inspiration behind every ancient Egyptian female queen who comes back to life after her tomb is found—as featured first in Bram Stoker's shocking 1903 novel The Jewel of Seven Stars and later in several modern blockbuster movies. Revealing how Sobekneferu has left a lasting impact on culture and occulture through the ages despite being nearly erased from history, Collins shows how her continuing legacy is perhaps, ultimately, her true resurrectionLa mort n'existe pas
Par Stéphane Allix. 2023
15 ans d'enquête sur l'après-vie pour gagner en sérénité face à la mort. Que se passe-t-il lorsque nous mourrons ?…
Que devient notre conscience ? Survit-elle à la mort cérébrale ? Ces questions vertigineuses se sont imposées à Stéphane Allix au moment du décès de son frère. Il a dès lors mobilisé toutes ses compétences et son instinct de journaliste pour tenter d'élucider le mystère de la conscience. Les recherches en médecine ou en neurosciences, ainsi que les innombrables phénomènes inexpliqués autour de la mort (expériences de mort imminente, perceptions extrasensorielles, etc.), suggèrent que notre conscience possède une dimension spirituelle. Est-ce ce que les mystiques appellent âme ? Pour percer le mystère, Stéphane décide de faire lui-même l'expérience de cette dimension à travers des voies alternatives, des pratiques spirituelles millénaires, comme le chamanisme. Grâce à cet implacable travail d'enquête scientifique, doublé d'une bouleversante exploration spirituelle, Stéphane Allix se forge une intime conviction.

Par Michael Kleen. 2011
The hidden history of witchcraft in the Land of Lincoln is revealed in this unique study by the author of Haunting…
Illinois. Although the Salem Witch Trials have drawn focus to New England as the center of witchcraft in American history, the practice was widespread across the Midwest. In Illinois, witchcraft—and witch persecution—have been part of local culture since French explorers arrived in the 17th century. In Witchcraft in Illinois, historian Michael Kleen presents the full story of the Prairie State's dalliance with the dark arts. On the Illinois frontier, pioneers pressed silver dimes into musket balls to ward off witches, while farmers dutifully erected fence posts according to phases of the moon. In 1904, the quiet town of Quincy was shocked to learn of Bessie Bement's suicide, after the young woman sought help from a witch doctor to break a hex. In turn-of-the-century Chicago, Lauron William de Laurence's occult publishing house churned out manuals for performing bizarre rituals intended to attract love and exact revenge.Blood Sex Magic: Everyday Magic for the Modern Mystic
