London: B.T. Batsford, 1984. First edition. Hardcover. Very Good/good +. Maroon cloth-covered boards with gilt lettering to the spine - slight 'foxing', else clean & tight with no inscriptions. The dust-jacket is 'sunned' to the spine, otherwise it is clean & bright with minimal 'shelf-wear' - unclipped. " In assembling this gazetteer of the most important Egyptian gods and goddesses , Barbara Watterson has concentrated on the mythological stories relating to each. Through the folklore and fairy stories, of a kind that are produced by all civilisations, we can discern the hopes, fears, and pre-occupations of ordinary Egyptian men and women. .... complementing the author's evocative text is a welcome range of illustrations,(often drawn from unfamiliar sources), which portray every god or goddess discussed. Equally helpful are the extensive chronological table,the map of the principal cult-centres, the glossary and the note on Egyptian transliteration. 208 pages; text; b & w photographs & drawings; notes & index.

The religious artefacts of Ancient Egypt - from the largest temples to the smallest amulets - have been universally admired for their beauty and workmanship. But the purpose or significance of such works of art has largely eluded modern Europeans, just as it did the ancient Greeks and Romans. For the basis of religion in ancient Egypt was not belief but cult, particularly the local cult, and the main characteristics were animism, fetishism and magic. The chief stumbling block has been the Egyptian gods themselves. One with the body of a man and a head of a hawk; another with the head of ajackal; yet another with a beetle in place of a head and, standing next to him, a woman with the head of a lioness - how can such…
