Announcement from Olivia Robertson

Review:
Bast, Cat Goddess of Ancient Egypt
by Linda Iles
Published by Isis-House Publishing, 2012

By Olivia Robertson, Co-Founder of the Fellowship of Isis


This erudite and inspired revelation of the Myths, Magic and Mysteries of the Cat Goddess is a New Aeon tribute both learned and mystical.  As one who remembers the poet W.B.Yeats and AE - George Russell, visionary poet, essayist and artist, I acknowledge that Linda Iles is worthy to enter their Golden Dawn esoteric company.

Too often I read books brimful of information about Divine Beings yet which show no direct spiritual contact by the author, who can only access other people's experiences.

I quote from the Preface Poem to Bast:

         "Lady of the Beautiful East
          You come to us on a River of Light
           From a Field of Unwearied Stars."

So for those who wish to feel the Divine Essence of Bast as Solar, Stellar and Lunar Deity, yet who incarnates as a Mother holding a basket of kittens, I warmly recommend this beautiful book.
