Egyptian Genesis of the Nephilim by Mogg Morgan
£20.00
Beresheet, the first word of the Bible means 'In the beginning'. Thus begins the foundation myth of the ancient Hebrews, including the account of their long sojourn in the land of the ancient Egyptians. The earliest parts of this narrative are full of strange things, including, famously, and very early on, a terse mention of the Nephilim, a class of supernatural entities, who erupt into the text only to disappear again almost as soon as they appear.
It was always assumed that this part of the myth originated somewhere within the mesopotamian myth cycles, either from Sumerian or Babylon. No one had, as far as I know, been asked, as I was, to explore if it might have some sort of basis in Egyptian mythology. So this was where I started, with what seemed to be the Elephant in the room: could the Nephilim and the events that surround them, have any resonance in Egypt?
And, much to my surprise, I found an Egyptian equivalent of the Nephilim. Deep mythology is what I call those very old stories that have no real home but seem global and part of the consciousness of all humanity. And as is often the case with comparative and deep mythology, one tradition illuminates many others.

Initiation into Dream Mysteries by Sarah Janes
£14.99
Invoking Mnemosyne--Greek goddess of memory and eloquence, daughter of Heaven and Earth, mother of the Muses, and archetypal deity of the Asklepion dream temple tradition--this book initiates you into full dream consciousness, offering a lucid-dreaming ritual experience in the spirit of the Mystery Schools of antiquity. Explaining how a conscious dream life is essential for self-discovery, deep integration, and healing, lucid-dreaming instructor Sarah Janes presents exercises, techniques, and initiations to help you explore the inner depths of your psyche. These realms, accessible through dreams, can help you to form a better understanding of who you are.
Sharing her more than a decade of research on Sleep Temples and Mystery Schools of the Esoteric Tradition, Sarah explores the evolution of imagination, memory, and consciousness throughout the ages and proposes that dreams have been fundamental in the creation and development of culture. Dreams play an important role in ancestor worship, afterlife beliefs, animism, religion, and wisdom traditions. Sarah reveals how dreams offer us an opportunity to remember and directly experience our divinity, to transcend the limitations of our mortality and enter timeless, imaginal realms.
Employing the power of story to affect the mind and lay down new neural pathways--as if one were really living the story--Sarah begins each initiatory chapter with a psychodramatic narrative. Using symbolism and powerful imagery, these stories help you generate the perfect dreams for each stage in the initiation. And by becoming a better dreamer, you can make better, more aware decisions in your waking life.

The Great Migrations to Britain of 1527 B.C. and 485 B.C. by Marchell Abrahams
£30.00
Myth . . . legend . . . or history so steeped in antiquity that we know it in our bones to be true? From Ur in the marshes of 16th-century B. C. Sumer to Troy in the Fenlands of England and the beginnings of London, Marchell Abrahams peels back the centuries to reveal the founding of our country by the Sumerian princess whom the British histories call Albyne. She takes us from the end of Roman kingship in Italy to the quelling of a savage civil war in 5th-century B. C. Britain by Brutus, descendant of King Leir, and his assumption, a thousand years after Albyne, of the High Kingship of an already ancient nation. This is British history.
