The Epagomenal Days (birthdays of the Egyptian Gods) and Piercing the Veil of Set: A transformative meditation. We begin with a brief lesson on the gods of Heliopolis: Isis, Osiris, Nephthys, Set, and Horus the Elder, and then EXPERIENCE the realm of Osiris and the mysteries of the controversial Egyptian deity Set, also known as Seth or Sutekh.

Piercing the Veil of Set, written by Denise Dumars (Dion-Isis) and recorded by Scott Corum, is an inner-plane journey and a chance to learn the secrets that Set has to tell only you. CDs will be available for purchase.
