Egyptian Religion

“A group or culture that shares a common consciousness empowers both itself and its individual members. This common consciousness facilitates the achievement of many of the ends desired by the group and its individual members which would be difficult or impossible for either to achieve if such a consciousness did not operationally exist ” Amos N. Wilson

In this week’s session we will be looking at the rich variety of Egyptian myths, illustrating their rich and sophisticated religious and philosophical lives as they sought to explain the mysteries of the universe.

Reflection:  

Gods and Nature played a very important role in Ancient African Society. Religion and Spirituality guided their quest for knowledge.

What guides our quest for knowledge today?
