Reader reviews for The Legend Of Ra And Isis

From the publisher

The Legend Of Ra And Isis is a book written by Florence Farr that tells the story of two ancient Egyptian gods, Ra and Isis. The book is a retelling of the mythological tale of how Ra, the sun god, became old and weak, and how Isis, the goddess of magic, helped him regain his strength and power. The story begins with Ra, who is the most powerful god in all of Egypt, getting old and weak. He decides to retire and pass on his power to his son, Osiris. However, Isis, who is the wife of Osiris, wants her husband to become the new ruler of Egypt. She comes up with a plan to trick Ra into revealing his secret name, which would give her the power to control him. Isis uses her magic to create a poisonous snake that bites Ra, making him extremely ill. She then tells Ra that she can cure him, but only if he reveals his secret name to her. Ra, who is in great pain and desperate for a cure, agrees to reveal his name to Isis. Isis then uses Ra's secret name to gain control over him and force him to give up his power to Osiris. Ra becomes angry and tries to attack Isis, but she is too powerful for him. Eventually, Ra realizes that he has no choice but to give up his power to Osiris and retire. The Legend Of Ra And Isis is a beautifully written and illustrated book that brings the ancient Egyptian myth to life. It is a must-read for anyone interested in mythology, ancient Egypt, or just a good story.THIS 20 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: Egyptian Magic, by Florence Farr.
