Along the Nile

Along the Nile elegantly weaves pre-dynastic Egyptian history together with action, romance, and mysticism. Although the first recorded Egyptian Pharoah Narmer, unifier of Upper and Lower Egypt, is known primarily from the Narmer Palette on display at the Egyptian Museum in Cairo, King Narmer emerges fully fleshed in this novel. Narrated by Heb, Pharoah's servant, the many facets of Ancient Egypt come to life. Heb's story is an adventure story set alongside the mighty river's bank, and a love story of passion, loss, and spiritual regeneration. Avoiding the devices of sensationalistic Egyptian novels which seem more modern than ancient, more Hollywood than authentic, Along the Nile is a must-read for anyone who has ever been fascinated by ancient Egypt. The author's three prolonged stays in Egypt resulted in life-changing, transformative experiences, leading to further extensive investigation, knowledge, and a personal relation with the goddesses Hathor and Sekhmet. The narrative reflects her intimate and rigorous exploration of Egypt's archaeological sites, especially the religious center at Dendera, and her study of, and participation in, Egyptian religious rites and traditions. Lauren was ordained Priestess of Hathor through the worldwide Fellowship of Isis, then was certified an Iseum, a school and temple of Hathor, through the same organization.For 7 years Lauren also owned and ran The Egypt Store, selling reproductions of ancient Egyptian papyrus, jewelry, clothing, wall hangings, and statues at psychic fairs and metaphysical events.
