The Twelve Gates | Free Book
A Spiritual Passage Through the Egyptian Books of the Dead
In The Twelve Gates, clinical anthropologist John Rush embarks
on a spellbinding journey through death rituals in various cultures,
centering on the ancient Egyptian philosophy of death and
resurrection. The first part of the book provides an overview of
different rituals, encouraging readers to confront their feelings
about death and to reevaluate their lives. The author details his own
experiences preparing for death, including a painful tattooing process
inspired by the ancient Egyptian Books of the Netherworld. He then
guides readers through the Twelve Gates of the Underworld, symbolic
ritual stages during which they can figuratively experience death and
rebirth. A set of full-color tarot cards, designed by the author, is
included as an aid in passing through each of the Gates. These ancient
rituals, performed by pharaohs and priests for thousands of years,
help ease the way toward a peaceful, conscious death.
