		<description><![CDATA[I have long been an admirer of Salima Ikram, even though as a modern (sentimental) pet lover, I struggle with the insights she provides into the sometimes gruesome details of animal cults in ancient Egypt.  Anyone who has watched Professor Ikram’s many television appearances; heard her speak on animal mummification or read any of her many publications, cannot fail to be impressed at both her erudition and her easily accessible style of communication as she sets out her no-nonsense, non-sentimental account of the complex relationship between ancient Egyptians and the wide range of animals they worshipped, hunted, ate or preserved for eternity. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Williams reviews Egyptian Myth - A Very Short Introduction by Geraldin Pinch.  Pinch has a formidable task.  In 125 pages, Pinch outlines the framework within which Egyptian myths are contextualised before outlining the mythology itself.  Such a brief book could have been facile but instead Williams is impressed by Pinch's achievement.  He explains why.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The word oracle derives from the Latin verb orare, to speak.  Oracles were common to a number of cultures and are particularly associated with Classical Greece, where oracles were usually living individuals, male or female.  In Egypt the oracle was a statue, usually hidden in the centre of the god’s temple, but taken out into the streets on procession during festivals for the public to consult.  In either form the purpose of an oracle was to channel the messages of god, giving answers to specific questions. ]]></description>

The following introduces what little is known about this elusive deity.  Pakhet was represented in the form of a woman with a lion's head (figure 1- click to see the bigger image). She looks very like leonine representations of Sekhmet and Bastet and was often associated with them. ]]></description>
