For more than 2,000 years, between 1500 BCE and 600 CE, the Egyptian processional oracle was one of the main points of contact between temple-based religion and the general population. In a public ceremony, a god would indicate its will or answer questions through the movements of a portable cult statue borne by priests or important members of the community. The Egyptian Oracle Project is an interactive performance that adapts this ceremony to serve as the basis for a mixed-reality educational experience for children and young adults, using both virtual reality and live performance. The scene is set in a virtual Egyptian temple projected onto a wall. An oracle led by a high priest avatar (controlled by a live human puppeteer) is brought into the presence of a live audience, who act in the role of the Egyptian populace. Through the mediation of an actress, the audience interacts with the avatar, recreating the event. The series of carefully focused essays in this book provides vital background to this path-breaking project in three sections. After a brief introduction to educational theatre and virtual reality, the first section describes the ancient ceremony and its development, along with cross-cultural connections. Then the development of the script and its performance in the context of mixed-reality and educational theatre are examined. The final set of essays describes the virtual temple setting in more detail and explores the wider implications of this project for virtual heritage.

This book is designed as a basic reference guide and tool for using the "Eyes of Ra" deck and for accessing the symbolic information contained in the images. This deck is comprised of forty-four originally designed cards divided into four groups. Each card in the Oracle deck serves as a direct Messenger from your Higher Self as delivered through the voices of the Egyptian Neters. Although the ancient Egyptian pantheon was comprised of hundreds of Neters (deities) the Oracle Messengers in this deck represent some of that most prominent and powerful gods and goddesses. Forty-four was a sacred number in ancient Egypt representing totality and completion; for example, the four directions, the four sons of Horus holding up the cosmos, and the four canopic jars used in the mummification process. According to numerology, the number 44 is about manifesting spiritual insights into physical reality. It is considered a Master Number. Medieval scholars believed that the Mystery School teachings of ancient Egypt were handed down from Atlantis and were encoded into the first tarot deck that came out of Egypt. This Oracle deck is a modern continuation of that sacred lineage. Using this deck will help to increase your intuitive and psychic abilities by opening your "Eyes of Ra".

"Robert Armour's classic text, long cherished by a generation of readers, is now complemented with more than 50 new photographs by Egyptologist Edwin Brock and drawings by Elizabeth Rodenbeck that show the gods in their characteristic forms." "Armour maintains a strong narrative thread with illuminating commentary in his lively retelling of stories from Egyptian mythology, including those of the sun god Ra, the tragic tale of Isis and Osiris, the burlesque of Horus' battle with the evil Seth, and the "gods of the intellect" Thoth and Maat. Now with an updated bibliography and new appendices, this book is sure to inform and enchant a new generation of readers."--Jacket.
