From: Paul Hume Area: MagickNet To: Ghost 21 Jun 96 09:33:16 Subject: Re: words UpdReq Ghost - Howdy. I am pretty ignorant about hierglyphs in general. I have some of Budge's works on the langyuage, and a couple of booklets from various museums on Hieroglyphs. Another study that covers some useful ones is called "Reading Egyptian Art" - can't recall the author - who looks at the way the hieroglyphic words/symbols are interpolated into the iconography of the art. Simple example...the commonest hieroglyph for "worship" is the two upraised arms (put those on the hieroglyph for a kneeling man and you have the hieroglyph for "worshipper" for example). "Reading Egyptian Art" then examines the use of the arms in that position in half a dozen statues, paintings, etc. Works with interlinear translation (various Book of the Dead editions etc.) are useful for recognizing at least the commonest spellings and ideographic uses (one picture, one word) of hieroglyphs. And collections like Gods Of The Egyptians (another by Budge) include the hieroglyphic spelling of the Gods' Names. Hope this helps, Paul s 201434369420143436942014343694201434369420143436942014343694718 From: Pan Area: MagickNet To: Paul Hume 20 Jun 96 15:03:00 Subject: Re: love UpdReq you state that love can be fulfilled. not so sure. if love say, desends and things are below like that which is above, and that above is one unity. then love can only be fulfilled within itself. but is that bliss or love. is there a differance? 201434369420143436942014343694201434369420143436942014343694718
