5.0 out of 5 stars KO prayer book
Reviewed in the United States on March 22, 2023
Verified Purchase
This book is really a handbook to Kemetic Orthodoxy. If you are not interested in KO and are only looking for prayers then this might not be for you.
If you are interested in what it's about, then this could work for you.

I'm currently in the beginners phase of KO and haven't even made it past the first lesson yet. I decided to get this book because I wanted a prayer book with prayers used in Ancient times. I honestly thought this was just going to be only prayers. Instead it turned out to be a handbook for KO of sorts which worked out great for me! I can't go into details on the inside, but if you're looking for something in book form that goes over our basic practices then this is worth it. It's a good size, something you can easily bring with you if you travel at all, and the wording isn't long or exhaustive so it's easy to read.
I highly recommend this book to anone interested in KO or who is a member.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good book, as long as you understand what you're getting
Reviewed in the United States on March 17, 2013
Verified Purchase
The Ancient Egyptian Prayerbook is a book associated with Kemetic Orthodoxy. For example, the book contains KO's Senut rite and some of the info about many of the Netjeru (ie: Egyptian gods) has a definite KO slant to it.

That said, this is the first book I got when I started to practice ancient Egyptian religion and I was not, and am not, a member of Kemetic Orthodoxy. For beginners who are overwhelmed with the rites in Richard Reidy's Eternal Egypt book, the Senut rite presented in the Prayerbook is tantalizingly doable. For those who have never prayed to gods before, the small prayers to get started with are quite welcome.

As I've progressed in my practice, I've found myself using the Prayerbook a lot less. I prefer to write my own prayers and I've since moved onto Reidy's rites. I still often come to the book looking for prayers off of which to build my own, but I have to admit, the selection isn't very welcoming for those of us who worship less popular gods (like myself). You won't find prayers for lesser known Netjeru like Hatmehit or Wenut. There are prayers for more well known Netjeru, however: Ra, Bast, Het-Heru, Set, etc.

If you're a beginner, can't seem to grok Reidy's material, and are desperate for a ritual outline to use, then you might consider the Prayerbook. If you'd like a small collection of prayers to use on the fly, or as inspiration for your own, you might consider the Prayerbook. For non-Kemetic Orthodox further along their path, the Prayerbook will probably have limited usefulness.

5.0 out of 5 stars A great introduction to the technology of communicating with the Netjeru
Reviewed in the United States on October 16, 2021
Verified Purchase
Besides specific prayers to various gods and goddesses, there are instructions for Senet - a formalized setting for approaching the Netjeru, as well as discussions about the technology associated with prayer and ritual.

The author is an Egyptologist and head of Kemetic Orthodoxy, but one does not have to be a member of same to appreciate and utilise this marvellous guide.

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing book!
Reviewed in the United States on September 25, 2009
Verified Purchase
The Egyptian Prayer Book is a wonderful book! I do not worship the author as I admit some do, but this book is great for anyone whose beliefs are at all Kemetic. You do not have to be a Kemetic Orthodox to truly appreciate this book. In fact, just being interested in the Ancient Egyptian practices is really enough a reason to buy this. It is not a tome, but a medium sized book and everything is straightforward. Prayers are all direct translation from ancient sources. I highly recommend this book to anyone with an interest in the Kemetic faith!

This is an excellent selection of authentic Hymns, Prayers and sayings for several of the Egyptian Gods and Goddesses. It is easy to read, enjoyable to use, and clearly written by someone who knows what she's talking about.
I refer to it a lot, and it always has just what I'm looking for.

THIS BOOK IS UTTERLY FANTASTIC AND A MUST HAVE FOR BOTH SERIOUS STUDENT OF EGYPTOLOGY AND FOR ANYONE INTERESTED IN EGYPTIAN MAGICKAL/RELIGIOUS SYSTEMS. THE INVOCATIONS ARE BREATH TAKING AND THE AUTHOR IS VERY WELL VERSED IN ACADEMIC RESEARCH ON THIS TOPIC. AFTER 20 YEARS OF STUDYING EGYPTOLOGY, THIS IS ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS I HAVE SEEN. I HAVE HEARD THE AUTHOR SPEAK RECENTLY, AND SHE IS ONE FANTASTIC PERSON AS WELL ON EVERY LEVEL.

So much more than a prayerbook. For anyone interested in Kemeticism, this is a must. The author has used her extensive knowledge of of Ancient Egypt throughout the book, and has written some of the most beautiful prayers I've come across. My copy of the book is going to be well used. I can't recommend it highly enough.

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent guide to the worship of the Egyptian gods
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on January 22, 2014
Verified Purchase
Tamara Suida is leader of the Kemetic Orthodox Faith, one of the principal organisations for the worship of the Egyptian gods. I am not a member of that body, but her devotion and learning cannot fail to impress. This is a collection of translations of ancient prayers, together with guides to the gods and their worship.

The only criticism I would make is her description of the conventional transcriptions used by Egyptologists as the "real names" of the gods. Certainly "Isis" as pronounced in English is a long way from Cheops' "Rusat" or Cleopatra's "Esi", but the recommended "Aset" would not have been recognised by any Egyptian.
