  • I appreciate both the breadth of the topics she chooses to present — everything from Hermeticism and the Book of Thoth to Pharaoh Hatshepsut and the Queens of Ancient Egypt and Nubia — but also the depth to which she researches each of those topics. I’ve learned about aspects of Ancient Egyptian culture that I might not otherwise have been able to access.
