Sekhmet is the lioness goddess of the Egyptian Pantheon, a fierce protector of truth, balance, and the Cosmic order of Ma’at. Known and feared as the goddess of war and destruction, she also represents the transformative power of kundalini energy, or sekhem, and is the main goddess to harness this power for healing. As “She Who Comes in Times of Chaos,” she takes offerings of fear, rage, and weakness and transforms them into alchemical gold, the universal medicine for physical, emotional, and soul healing.

In this book you are guided through a shamanic ritual of alchemical transformation and initiation with Sekhmet, working with this powerful goddess to release your most deeply rooted negative behavior patterns and be reborn into a more purified state of consciousness. Using intensive self-examination exercises to help you prepare to meet the goddess, the author leads you through a guided visualization, illustrated with photographs, to an ancient statue of Sekhmet in her chapel at the Temple of Karnak. There, you will be shamanistically devoured by the goddess, directly experiencing the alchemical process of transformation in the belly of Sekhmet until you are rebirthed as a fully realized adult child of the goddess. You will experience how your offering of pain, fear, rage, and self-sabotage is digested, absorbed, and assimilated by Sekhmet while you are initiated into the alchemy of total transformation. The initiations, rites of passage, and transmissions from Sekhmet included in the journey restructure the most important aspects of your body, mind, spirit, and soul.

This journey of shamanic death, illumination, and rebirth in the belly of Sekhmet provides an opportunity to heal on all levels and allows you to release your rage, anger, and fear as you transform the energies that maintained them into creative and constructive solutions that benefit yourself, your community, and the planet.

Reviews

“Nicki Scully is a master of the sacred mysteries of Egypt, as evident in the process of transformation this unique book delivers. Her deep connection with the goddess Sekhmet gives us a powerful gift from this fiercely compassionate healing goddess that is relevant and needed during this global time of dissolution and rebirth.”

“I’m truly impressed with this remarkable book. While Nicki shares the magic of Sekhmet’s power to create healing and transformation in your life, she gifts you with sacred stories and extraordinary photos to illustrate your journey. Nicki’s mastery is clear as she guides you through an alchemical process comprised of many initiations and exercises that will change your life.”

“Just reading Nicki’s fierce and fearless book can begin the process of transformation. Ah, but if you actually do the work--if you let Sekhmet devour you, digest you, heal you, change you--that is when the magic happens. Let Nicki be your loving and wise guide on this transmutational journey. It will be scary. There will be fire. But oh, it will be worth it.”

Sekhmet is a potent amalgamation of Nicki Scully’s Alchemical Healing and the wisdom of Sekhmet, the transformative goddess of the threshold who arrives when the Great Ages shift. As the most intense Aquarian shift comes--Sekhmet’s hour--Nicki Scully’s guidance for regenerating our brains and body systems is a lifesaver--an exquisite healing balm.”
