Achterflaptekst:

An invitation to come face to face with the incarnate female power of ancient Egypt.

Sekhmet was ancient Egypt’s leonine Netjeret (Goddess) who embodied incarnate female power. Sekhmet brought plague and pestilence to the land as well as conferred healing and protection upon her followers. From her ancient origins, to the present day, many have been fascinated by Sekhmet's fierce image and uncompromising destructive powers. This book explores Sekhmet’s Egyptian origins, her mythology, character, and worship, bringing together Egyptological research and contemporary Pagan perspectives.

'This book is a must read for Sekhmet devotees and for those who are looking for a Goddess for these times.' - Candace C. Kant, PhD, co-editor of Heart of the Sun: An Anthology in Exaltation of Sekhmet.

'Church unravels the complexities that exist in Sekhmet's myths and titles, therefore making this Goddess even more approachable for both devotees and those who may have been interested in Sekhmet but have been intimidated by her as well. Sekhmet shines a light on aspects of the Goddess that are not always fully understood, such as her roles in healing and protection. Church's book is well researched and timely, and I would highly recommend it to anyone who has an interest in exploring Egyptian myth and deities.' - Robin Corak, author of Pagan Portals - Persephone: Practicing the Art of Personal Power.
