Reseña del editor

Cott recounts the Egyptian myth and then examines it via interviews with the archpriestess of the Fellowship of Isis (a worldwide organization of over 15,000 members in 60 countries); the spiritual leader of the Ammonites and her nine-year-old son who is believed to be the incarnation of Isis and Osiris' son; and two psychologists who run workshops in which patients reenact the Isis/Osiris story as a means of therapy.
