Multiple Publications Based on the Papyrus of Ani Now Available

This month, Chronicle Books published the 20 anniversary revised edition of The Book of Going Forth by Day aka the Papyrus of Ani, coordinated and overseen by noted occult author, James Wasserman.  Like the original 1994 edition, a crucial difference between this edition and earlier presentations of this document was to paginate according to content as opposed to merely, measuring out uniform segments from the original scroll this work appeared as. This new edition includes: an essay by occult teacher J. Daniel Gunther, discusses the history of academic research in Egyptian religion and philology over the passsed two centuries; an annotated bibliography by Dr. Ogden Goelet, that replaces and expands upon his work in the original edition; finally, there’s been a series of upgrades to the color images of the Papyrus itself.
