H. P. Blavatsky & The Book of the Dead
HPB refers to the “Book of the Dead” as the “bible of the Egyptians,” considering it an ancient ritualistic and occult work in which the cosmogenesis of The Secret Doctrine can be found. In this presentation, we will explore how Blavatsky interprets the BD, her views on mummification and pyramids, and how she links the seven principles to the seven Arits or Gates of Osiris through which the soul must travel to reach the heavenly world.
