BOOK OF THE DEAD
$0.00
The Book of the Dead is an ancient Egyptian funerary text that offers a complex guide to navigating the afterlife. It’s a compilation of spells, charms, and rituals designed to help the deceased journey safely through the underworld, face trials, and ultimately achieve eternal life. Rather than a single book, it was a collection of texts and illustrations that priests would tailor for each individual, often inscribed on papyrus and placed in tombs alongside the deceased.
Here are some key aspects of the Book of the Dead:
Protection Spells and Instructions: The text includes spells to guard against dangers in the underworld, such as hostile deities and monstrous creatures, as well as instructions for overcoming obstacles like the “gates” and “judgment halls” that souls must pass through.
The Weighing of the Heart: One of the most well-known sections describes the “Weighing of the Heart” ritual. In this judgment scene, the god Anubis weighs the deceased’s heart against the feather of Ma’at, the goddess of truth and justice. If the heart is lighter than the feather, the soul is granted access to the afterlife; if it’s heavier, it’s devoured by a creature known as Ammit.
Guidance to Achieve Eternal Life: The goal of the Book of the Dead is to ensure that the deceased soul can join the gods and live eternally. It provides knowledge and affirmations that allow the spirit to pass safely and transform into the “akhu,” or “blessed dead.”
Practical Knowledge of the Afterlife: Beyond its rituals and spells, the book also reflects the Egyptians’ profound understanding of life and death. It underscores their beliefs about the immortality of the soul and the journey it takes beyond the physical world.
The Book of the Dead is not a dark or “evil” book but a spiritual guide, deeply rooted in the Egyptians’ reverence for death as a continuation rather than an end. It captures an ancient culture’s attempt to connect with something greater, and through it, we glimpse their hopes, fears, and beliefs about what comes after this life.

Through the author’s story and analysis, the book invites readers to reflect on what the true Church is meant to represent, urging them to move away from deceptive teachings and to share the truth of God’s Word with others. Ultimately, it is about calling people back to the true power of the Gospel—transformation, healing, and salvation.

SCARY THINGS ST001
$1.62Add to cartThe first book, ST001: Skinwalkers, introduces readers to one of the most terrifying creatures in the series. A Skinwalker is a shape-shifting being that can transform into any form—whether it’s a person, animal, or even something more monstrous. These beings hide their true identities and can walk among us without being detected, often causing chaos or harm without leaving a trace. James, the protagonist, discovers the horrifying truth about his mother’s boyfriend, Rick, when he witnesses Rick’s terrifying transformation into a seven-foot-tall green monster. This revelation sets James on a dangerous path to uncover more about these creatures and how they can be exposed.
The series isn’t just about the creatures themselves—it’s about the hidden, dark forces that shape the world we live in. It explores the idea that there are things out there that most people will never understand or believe, and that those who do know the truth are often dismissed as insane or paranoid. Each book in the series uncovers a new, chilling entity or event, ranging from demons and shapeshifters to other unearthly beings that exist just beyond the reach of human comprehension.
