The calendar of ancient Egypt is older than astrology. Even though the Egyptian calendar itself is all but forgotten, it is the direct ancestor of the Western calendar in use today. The ancient Egyptians were keenly focused on the concept of life as a journey through time, and the calendar was their map. In Work Like An Egyptian, you will find one of the worlds oldest guides to self-navigation in an easy-to-use format, a daily horoscope from the dawn of history. Each season, month and day is listed with its ancient name, together with the warnings and requirements, stories and scenarios of the gods involved in the story of the year. The day is divided into eight-hour segments of morning, afternoon and night. The hieroglyph for either lucky" or unlucky" is assigned to each segment, and most days are either triple good" or triple bad." Sacred ceremonies and ritual feasts are also listed, making the calendar a complete guide to the Egyptian year, a horoscope unlike any other in the modern world.

Their horoscope was not based simply on the two-dimensional wheel of the horizon turning around beneath the sky, but on the three-dimensional interaction of the daily turning of the wheel of the horizon within the yearly turning of the globe of the sky. The calendar of the turning sky was the Sirius-rising" calendar, measured out in ten-day weeks relating to observations of the heliacal risings of 36 selected star clusters. The calendar of the horizon was the Nile-rising" calendar, measured by the cycles of the Niles flood. The two calendars intersected annually at the summer solstice, during the yearly five days" outside of time that linked the old year to the new. All life and time were generated by the motions of those mighty wheels.

Like all things ancient Egyptian, the interpretation of the horoscope itself is intended to be uniquely personal. The map is universal but the journey is your own. Only you can know how the stories of the gods are played out in your inner world from moment to moment. The horoscope images seem locked into a universal and repetitive round only because the calendar was the anchor in time, the still center around which life moved. Thus, even though the auspice and warnings for New Moon Day in the month of Hathys will be the same next year as this, you will not be the same. The sky will not be the same. The ritual and ceremony of each day keep you connected to the person you were on that day in other years. This temporal orientation serves as navigation for the year ahead.

In her first book, Walk Like An Egyptian, author Ramona Louise Wheeler brought the concepts of ancient Egyptian religion and philosophy into the context of the modern world. Readers around the globe found the once-obscure ideas of ancient wisdom interpreted as profound contemplations of the reality of human nature. Readers of Walk Like An Egyptian will encounter familiar faces here: Osiris, the eternal and immortal portion of each humans soul clothed in mortal flesh, and Re, the divine light of consciousness in the mind; Horus, who is the paradox of the universal nature of each souls unique identity, and Isis, bonding force of the soul, are frequent players in the calendar round. Thoth, representing the power of human thought and intellect, is credited as original author of the calendar texts. He stands in judgment in the calendar scenarios, overruling even the will of the gods.

The success of Walk Like An Egyptian led to Wheelers collaboration with Diana Janeen Pierce, who had assembled a daily calendar of ancient Egyptian ceremonies, rituals and festivals. Wheeler and Pierce worked together on a translation of the lengthy and difficult calendar papyri texts, and Wheelers accompanying interpretation of the cosmos as defined in the calendar makes a lively counterpart to the horoscope, clarifying the often confusing material. Together, Wheeler and Pierce provide a modern evaluation of how to work like an Egyptian," attuned to eternity in your daily life and guided by eternal principles.
