PAGANISM & SHAMANISM

What is Paganism? A religion, a spirituality, an alternative belief system, nature worship? You can find support for all these definitions (and many more) in dictionaries, encyclopaedias, and text books of religion, but subscribe to any one and the truth will evade you. Above all Paganism is a creative pursuit, an encounter with reality, an exploration of meaning and an expression of the soul. Druids, Heathens, Wiccans and others, all contribute their insights and literary riches to the Pagan tradition. Moon Books invites you to begin or to deepen your own encounter, right here, right now. If you have enjoyed this book, why not tell other readers by posting a review on your preferred book site.

In dividing Egyptian history from mythology, we are perpetuating a rather modern conception that these are two quite distinct categories actual events in the real world and imagined events in a symbolic world. The further back in human history we go, and with Egypt that is a remarkably long stretch, the more closely intertwined these two strands become. However, for the sake of convention let us first consider those events mostly involving mortals and later move on to those involving immortal beings. In laying out the history of Egypt it would be easy to become lost in the convoluted corridors of over five thousand years worth of events. The intention is to avoid bogging the reader down with an excess of political turmoil, artistic innovations, and scientific discoveries but rather to give sufficient background to the changing cultural milieu to help place the mythology in a wider context.
