A Book of the Dead by Gerhard Reisch, translated by Jehanne Mehta, is a collection of verses and paintings about how to develop contact with deceased loved ones.
By meditating on these verses for times of day and seasons of the year, you will learn to delve into the rhythms of nature and their relation to human beings.
By meditating on these verses we can learn to know ourselves by looking outwards to the substances and processes at work in the cosmos, and to know the world by looking inwards to the microcosmic depths of the human self.
