Ancient Wisdom of the Lost Egyptian Mythology & teachings of Islam

AVE MARIA! - Relax, Renew, and Recharge at a unique health spa located in an exotic location. Home to ancient healing centers of the ancient Egyptian & spiritual cultures, spend time traveling to temples and lounging on a pampering Nile Cruise.

Egypt possesses a wide range of rich physical features, including many hot springs. 

According to scientific research, clay found in these springs has therapeutic properties that can cure numerous bone, skin, kidney, respiratory diseases and other problems.

Also, the Red Sea water with its chemical composition and abundance of coral reefs helps to cure various forms of psoriasis.

The therapeutic property of Egypt's climate has been mentioned since the Greek era.  Socrates, the founder of climatic physiotherapy, referred to this fact in his famous papers entitled "Egypt and Climatic Therapy."

Few people today realize the significance of Egypt's therapeutic past.

During the 19th and 20th centuries, Egypt was almost as important to European travelers as a health destination as it was for classical antiquity tours.  They still come, and they are still cured of many ailments by Egypt's hot, dry climate and numerous natural hot springs.

In addition to the physical aspects of Egypt, we shall be discovering her past, present and future as depicted in her ancient Book of the Dead.

Egyptian Book of the Dead is the name given to certain ancient papyri of the Egyptian, more correctly called Pert em hru (coming forth into day or light).

In the Theban Recension of the Book of the Dead is found a Chapter (No. clvi.) which was composed for the purpose of bestowing upon the deceased some of the magical power of the goddess.

The Chapter was recited over an amulet, and if laid on the neck of a dead person, it would place him under the protection of the words of power of Isis and he would be able to go wheresoever he pleased in the Underworld.

In this text, the soul is depicted in the guise of a pilgrim, journeying through various halls, at the portals of each of which he was obliged to give a correct answer -- an account of the life he had lived upon earth. 

The pilgrim eventually reached the judgment hall, within which he was tried by the company of gods and goddesses. Before Osiris his heart was placed in a balance to testify for or against him.

If he passed the test satisfactorily, he was permitted by Osiris to enter his domain and become as one of the deities.

In a mystical sense, the Book of the Dead is a veiled rendition of the passage of the defunct through the various tests and trials of initiation which is a depicted as a postmortem pilgrimage of the dead.

The Egyptians believed that if the best effect was to be produced by words of power they must be uttered in a certain tone of voice, and at a certain rate, and at a certain time of the day or night, with appropriate gestures or ceremonies.

In the Hymn to Osiris it is said that Isis was well skilled in the use of words of power, and it was by means of these that she restored her husband to life, and obtained from him an heir.

The Goddess Nut

With such a richness of strong and vital images of motherhood, we have much to celebrate on Mother's Day! The original event, like all our major holidays, has close ties to ancient pagan festivals -- the earliest recorded in history honored the Egyptian goddess Nut.

Nut, goddess of the sky and wife of Re, the god of the sun and creator of all, was known for her incredible beauty and kindness.

Her generous and loving nature was apparently extensive, leading her into affairs with Geb, the god of the earth, and Thoth, the god of divine words.

Re found out and, understandably, was furious with her, issuing a curse that his pregnant wife would not give birth to the child within her in any month of any year!

Filled with sorrow that she would never be a mother, Nut turned to Thoth for comfort. Like most males, he couldn't stand to see a woman cry and promised to find a solution.

And that he did! Using his divine powers of persuasion, Thoth talked the Moon into gambling with him. If he won he would get just a little bit of the Moon's light.

The games went on for months, and at the end Thoth had won enough light to create five complete days.

By the way, Nut didn't waste a precious moment of those five days. She gave birth to a different child on each day. From that day forward she was called "Mother of the Gods". 

Her firstborn, Osiris, was the son of Re and went on to become the god of all the earth. The Great Goddess Isis, daughter of Thoth, was born on the third day.

Even in the womb together, they loved each other deeply. Later as husband and wife they ruled together, creating the first great nation of Western civilization during the "Golden Age of Egypt" (around 2,500 BCE).

365 Day Calendar

The extra five days Thoth added to the solar year were devoted to celebrations in honor of the goddess Nut and were held in late February just before the beginning of the new solar year which heretofore had been only 360 days in length.

EGYPTIAN AROMATHERAPY

Medicinal herbs dating back to 2800 bc; physician recited magical formula
with herbs 4x; The Ebers payrus (18th dynasty) had 2 herbal recipes: eye
inflammation using myrhh and cypress flowers; and incense made with myrhh,
and /or frankincense.

Priests were the first to dispense aromatics. Cedarwood essence used in mummification.. Egyptians have been preparing aromatic infusions for more than 5,000 years.

The Egyptians held scents in high regard and utilized them in medicine, food preservation, cosmetics, cooking and religion. The earliest recorded recipe for deodorant can be found in the Papyrus Ebers of 1,500 BC and there are recorded incidents of essences being used in the treatment of manias, depression and nervous disorders.

The principles of aromatherapy even played a part in the building of towns when a town commissioned by Akhenaton, who is probably more famous for his marriage to Nefertiti, was built with large spaces for the burning of herbs to keep the air germ free.

They imported frankincense, sandalwood, myrrh and cinnamon as tribute from conquered peoples and with trading partners, these treasures were sometimes exchanged for gold. Perfumery was closely linked with religion and each God and Goddess was allotted a fragrance. Statues were anointed with secret formulations made by Priests and used for such a variety of times as prayer, healing, war and love.

In this yearly” Mother’s Day” ISIS Initiation Sacred Tour you will have the opportunity to experience the Goddesses of Ancient Egypt, visit their spas, temples, sanctuaries and take Osiris’ test of the weighing of your own heart.
