My New "Goddess Seshat" Book is Available on AMAZON
January 12, 2025
Greeting Friends!
Some of you asked me to let you know when my newest book on Seshat is live. GODDESS SESHAT: She Who Presides Over Words, Wisdom, and Historical Records is now on AMAZON in eBook and paperback.
This book is a tribute to the Egyptian Goddess Seshat and her important role as a goddess of writing, wisdom, scribes, books, libraries, and letters. This book also explores her work with numbers, record-keeping, accounting, measurements, sacred architecture, and the stars.
She is described by historians and Egyptologists in a myriad of ways. These range from being a funerary goddess who helps people into the afterlife to a purveyor of knowledge through the House of Life. Some descriptions may be related to the different ways she was interpreted in different eras of Egyptian history. Some may be related to the idea that her keen intellect and diverse skills allowed her culture of origin to add more duties onto her divine plate of responsibilities over time.
There are some striking similarities between this ancient goddess and the diverse roles of the modern public historian. Public history was not a "thing" in ancient times, but Seshat was engaged in recording, preserving, and writing history. She was not flashy or as well-known as some of her divine counterparts, but her work in the creation of the Egyptian civilization was no less impactful.
This book offers a sacred container in which to share knowledge about Seshat and her role in ancient times.
Although I have done two books on Seshat, they were a little more focused on the how-to of writing and publishing.
This book rounds up all the historical information I could find.
Hope you enjoy it!
Blessings,
Laurie Sue
