Return to Aalayfa: Awakening Book Four

by Sylvia Xamanka

HE is on the Rise, but to reassemble Osiris, Anatat has to travel through the illusory underworld, embodying the archetypes of Isis and Inanna as she searches for his sacred body parts. In those lower worlds, she encounters Jezebel, Krishna and assumes the role Kali Ma and of course the triple goddess of the moon. Finally, she encounters the mysterious Fisher King under the water who keeps her husband’s most sacred organ. Later, in the Huluppu tree, Anatat encounters her nemesis Ereshkigal, the Dark Shadow woman who sets Anatat on a hook to die. To Anatat’s astonishment, Osiris refuses to believe he is in the underworld and so, face with no other choice, Anatat decides to take her daughter Yejide and her secret companion Neti to climb the demonic Huluppu tree without him. You thought you knew the ancient stories of Isis, of Inanna, of Ishtar. But this is the New Now, and Osiris is waking from the dead. And chased by the notorious shadow isn’t going to make a whit of difference to Anatat, the Sorceress and the Other in a parallel reality, as they pull together to restore HIM. Welcome to the Underworld, where true knowledge is learned through experience, where you travel to the far reaches of the universe with just a thought, and discover that you are your own nemesis and your own saviour.
