What to expect
In Winged Pharaoh, Joan Grant tells the story of Sekeeta, the Pharaoh’s daughter. The ancient Egyptians reserved the title of Winged Pharaoh for ruler priests who possessed extrasensory powers. When Sekeeta demonstrates psychic abilities, she is sent to the temple and trained to heal others and recall past lives. Upon the death of her father and her initiation as Priestess of Anubis, she becomes a Winged Pharaoh, a coruler with her brother—she is both priestess and pharaoh—and leads her country with vision and enlightenment. Arguably the most famous of Joan Grant’s Far Memory series, this book brings the grandeur, beauty, and mystery of ancient Egypt to life.
As a child, Joan Grant became aware of her uncanny “far memory,” the ability to recall past lifetimes. Her seven historical novels stand out for their vividness and rich detail. For Joan, these books were not works of the imagination but personal recollections of her previous lives.
Critics Review
-
“A book of fine idealism, deep compassion, and a spiritual quality pure and bright as flame.”
New York Times
-
“[Joan Grant’s] writing is simple, sensually detailed, and always evocative of time and place.”
The Guardian
-
“The book is, as it were, clairvoyant, so clear, so living are the pictures conjured: it reads like an unclouded dream, like something written out of the body and brought back.”
The Observer
