Shamanic Mysteries of Egypt

I’m pleased to announce that Shamanic Mysteries of Egypt, the latest book I’ve illustrated, has been published by Inner Traditions/Bear & Company.

Shamanic Mysteries was co-authored by Nicki Scully and Linda Star Wolf. I created eight large watercolor paintings for the book, one of which you can see on the book cover. This piece presents Nut, the goddess of the night, and Geb, the god of the earth; on the side is Thoth, the Architect of Higher Learning; the central figure is Anubis, the Opener of the Way.

Though I immersed myself in Egyptian art to work on this book, Nicki and Star Wolf’s descriptions for the art were so precise that all I had to do was hew to their words as closely as possible. In a sense, what you’re seeing are their visions brought to life by my paintbrush — I’m only the hired hand, so to speak! This is an unusual situation because these days I seem to spend more time illustrating my projects than I do for other authors. (It’s not that I don’t like illustrating for authors. I think it’s more that I have so many book ideas that it’s rare for me to come up for air.)

On Nicki Scully’s website, signed copies are also available. She’s also posted several excerpts from the book for your reading pleasure.

Shamanic Mysteries of Egypt is a powerful book bearing an inspiring message of hope — one much needed these days. I’m pleased to be a small part of it.
