Normandi Ellis is an award-winning writer, workshop facilitator and director of PenHouse Retreat Center. The author of several books, including Awakening Osiris and coauthor of Invoking the Scribes of Ancient Egypt, she leads tours to Egypt with Shamanic Journeys, Ltd. and lives in Frankfort, Kentucky.
"Normandi Ellis' work of a lifetime began when she wrote
Awakening Osiris, her ecstatic translation of the
hieroglyphs found in the ancient Egyptian Book of the Dead. It
culminates nearly 30 years hence in her newest book Imagining the
World into Existence. In 1988, she said: 'We make of ourselves what
we imagine.' Now, in 2012, we see she has imagined well." * Alan
Richardson, co-author of The Inner Guide to Egypt *
"Normandi Ellis takes her reader on an extraordinary journey into
the myths and magic of Ancient Egypt. And the journey is as
beautiful, fragrant and mysterious as Egypt itself." * Timothy
Freke and Peter Gandy, authors of The Hermetica and The Jesus
Mysteries *
"This remarkable book emulates Egypt itself; it fuses philosophy,
religion, art and science into a single inextricable Unity. Like an
accomplished Egyptian temple or sculpture, it looks effortless yet
is extremely subtle and complex. It resonates Egypt. It 'breathes'
Egypt. It is almost like actually being there! Not many books do
that." * John Anthony West, author of Serpent in the Sky and The
Traveler's Key to Ancient Egypt *
"Bravo! At last, the book from Normandi Ellis we have all been
waiting for! Her knowledge and direct connection to the myths, the
glyphs, and the symbolism of ancient Egypt have given us the
clearest statement ever of the cosmology and relevant truths
written in the scrolls. This book is a must for anyone seriously
interested in the magic of ancient Egypt. I'm awed and inspired by
its brilliance!" * Nicki Scully, co-author of Shamanic Mysteries of
Egypt and The Anubis Oracle *
"Normandi Ellis is unique in understanding the deeper aspects of
human existence and the way the ancients perceived the world. This
is an excellent book. Read it!" * Robert Bauval, co-author of The
Orion Mystery and Black Genesis *
"Normandi Ellis' magnificent Imagining the World into Existence: An
Ancient Egyptian Manual of Consciousness is a breakthrough of
holistic literature at this crucial time. She creates a new
language of holism, thereby completing the task that academics -
split from by disciplinary boundaries and linear subject/object
orientation of language - have failed to even identify. At the
crucial impasse faced by humanity today, we all can benefit from
Ellis' warning: 'Failing to make conscious life changes because we
fear the big turnaround leases us down a destructive and
disorientating path.'" * Lisa Paul Streitfeld, Huffington Post,
September 2012 *
"Revealing the initiatory secrets of the Osirian Mystery school,
Ellis provides the essential teachings and shamanic tools needed to
return to Zep Tepi-the creative source-as we face the transitional
time of radical change currently at hand." * Branches of Light,
October 2012 *
"What Ellis reveals...is relevant for anyone who wants to know how
our thoughts create our reality, or who is interested in the
ancient Egyptian cosmic mindset and how it may inform us as we face
future challenges." * Nexus Magazine, December 2012 *
"Imagining the World Into Existence weaves with great detail
a map of the consciousness of this magical realm from our past. And
what's particularly striking is how closely the consciousness of
ancient Egypt resembles the evolving consciousness of today." *
Marc Star, New Dawn, June 2013 *
