Most ancient spiritual texts are of unknown or uncertain origin, but few are as deeply shrouded in myth, legend and mystery as The Emerald Tablets of Thoth the Atlantean, and the closely associated, and more well-known Emerald Tablet, attributed to Hermes Trismegistus. The Emerald Tablets of Thoth did not surface until 1925, but the Emerald Tablet of Hermes has a rich history weaving through much of antiquity.Scholars speak of the Emerald Tablet as one of the most mysterious documents ever put before the eyes of man, and describe it as everything from a succinct summary of Neoplatonic philosophy, to an extraterrestrial artifact, to a gift from Atlantis. The Tablet is attributed to the legendary figure of Hermes Trismegistus, said to be an ancient philosopher, healer and sage. References to Trismegistus can be found in Renaissance, Christian, Islamic, Roman and Greek literature, and the Tablet appears and disappears across the ancient world before and after the birth of Christ.No one knows what became of the original Tablet. Historic accounts describe it as a slab of brilliant, crystalline green stone covered with bas-relief Phoenician text. What we are left with are numerous translations and translations of translations, some of which were penned by historical figures like Isaac Newton, Roger Bacon, and Madame Blavatsky. For this book I have created my own version that considers and incorporates twenty or so existing translations.The Tablet teaches that "All is One," and that direct experience of the Divine is possible through meditation and psychological exercise. In modern times it became the foundation of Freemasonry, Theosophy, and esoteric schools such as The Golden Dawn. It is considered the original source of hermeticism, gnosticism, alchemy and science. Some hold that the Tablet holds the secrets of the universe. It is said that those who come to it are destined to read this ancient cryptic work, and if one is spiritually aware, he will be able to read between the lines.The Emerald Tablets of Thoth the Atlantean are shrouded in even more mystery, and their story requires one to set aside traditional beliefs and keep an open mind. They are said to have been written many millennia ago by an Atlantean priest/king/god named Thoth, who, along with many others of his race, came to earth from another planet. He lived for thousands of years, and when the great flood came upon earth that destroyed Atlantis, he escaped in his ship, then later landed in a land he called Khem, which is now Egypt. He ruled Egypt for 16,000 years, and in Egyptian art is pictured as having the head of an ibis-a sacred bird of Africa.He was a great writer and "keeper of records," and it is said that he authored 36,525 manuscripts. It was Thoth who built the Great Pyramid of Giza as a repository for this Atlantean knowledge, and a place for initiating great souls into the Mysteries. In legend, deep beneath the Great Pyramid are the Halls of Amenti spoken of in The Emerald Tablets, the halls of the gods, where the soul passed after death for judgment. During the many centuries of his life, Thoth raised the people of Egypt from barbarians to a great civilization. When he left that incarnation Thoth was deified as the God of Wisdom, the Recorder, by those in the age of darkness that followed his passing.

"The Egyptian Book of the Dead is one of the oldest and greatest classics of Western spirituality. Until now, the available translations have treated these writings as historical curiosities that have little relevance to our contemporary situations. This new version, made from the hieroglyphs, approaches the Book of the Dead as a profound spiritual text capable of speaking to us today. These writings suggest that the divine realm and the human realm are not altogether separate-they remind us that the natural world, and the substance of our lives, is fashioned from the stuff of the gods"--

For thousands of years, our world has been shaped by biblical monotheism. But its hallmark--a distinction between one true God and many false gods--was once a new and radical idea. Of God and Gods explores the revolutionary newness of biblical theology against a background of the polytheism that was once so commonplace. Jan Assmann, one of the most distinguished scholars of ancient Egypt working today, traces the concept of a true religion back to its earliest beginnings in Egypt and describes how this new idea took shape in the context of the older polytheistic world that it rejected. He offers readers a deepened understanding of Egyptian polytheism and elaborates on his concept of the "Mosaic distinction," which conceives an exclusive and emphatic Truth that sets religion apart from beliefs shunned as superstition, paganism, or heresy.>Best Books for General Audiences, selected by the American Association of School Librarians, and Best Books for Special Interests, selected by the Public Library Association

They follow one another along the streets, sometimes two, three, four in a row; leaning one against the other, so that their confines become merged. On all sides their minarets shoot up into the air, those minarets embellished with arabesques, carved and complicated with the most changing fancy. They have their little balconies, their rows of little columns; they are so fashioned that the daylight shows through them.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

Den urgamle egyptiske kaosgud Seth lever et ekstravagant og udsvævende liv i nutidens London. Her møder han den unge kunstnerspire Victoria, som han indleder et lidenskabeligt forhold til. Victoria er af optaget skildringen af alt, der har med vinger at gøre - ikke mindst Ikarosmyten. En dag bliver Seth tilbudt at købe et maleri af Brueghel. Motivet er den faldne Ikaros. Samtidig på et landsted uden for London venter parret Gabriel og Héloise barn. Da drengen fødes under en frygtelig storm, som Seth har sat i værk, er Héloise ikke i tvivl: Hendes barn er en inkarnation af guden Horus - den eneste, der kan frelse verden fra Seths amokløb. Tredje Ikaros er en handlingsmættet spændingsroman og en moderne Ikarosfabel om kunstnerens vej til forløsning. Tredje Ikaros er anden selvstændige del af trilogien Gudestorm. ”En herlig roman fuld af spænding og drama og stor romantisk kærlighed fortalt på en baggrund af interessant og eksotisk specialviden. Det er også en roman, hvor der tænkes ambitiøst og stimulerende over livet og døden og religionen, og ikke mindst er det en uhyre velskreven roman.” Politiken “Mystikken breder sig, gåderne foldes ud, og hele herligheden vikles ind i et fintmasket net af kunsthistorie, græsk og ægyptisk mytologi … Anbefales enhver med hang til gode historier.” Kristeligt Dagblad ”Anne-Marie Vedsø Olesen er Danmarks svar på amerikanske Anne Rice med vampyr-fortællingerne. Man suspenderer gerne sin mistro, mens man hepper på Seth vel vidende, at han egentlig bør tabe.” Jyllands-Posten “Hovedværker af Mozart, Brueghel, Plutarch og Ovid spiller inciterende med i dette kulturhistoriske kapow-fyrværkeri af en roman … En herlig intellektuel gådefortælling”.
