The Sacred Tradition in Ancient Egypt

At the heart of the monumental splendor of ancient Egypt was a spiritual goal, the elevation of human life from its material condition to its original divine nature. And the means to attaining that goal was overlooked in a tradition that remains accessible to those in the present––Sacred Science––a choreography of cosmic resonance, esoteric architecture, and theurgy. These practices bring us into the world of timeless time, the reflection of celestial dimensions on Earth, and the reception of divine life.This new edition of The Sacred Tradition in Ancient Egypt unveils these arcane features with insightful detail. Rosemary Clark explores the symbolic dimensions of language, cosmology, and temple life that reveal a sacred mandate and how it was expressed in art, building design, and religious practice. She also outlines the features of Egypt’s Sacred Science, how they have endured in many forms through the ages, and how they remain of deep relevance to us in the modern world.Seven chapters include 70 illustrations, 22 Tables, 9 Color Photographs, 2 Appendices, and a comprehensive Bibliography with Index.
