Author Description

Release Your Inner Egyptian Scribe! Can you imagine yourself writing on a papyrus like an Ancient Egyptian scribe? In Ancient Egypt, the scribes were the learned, wise ones and were greatly respected. Each of these notebooks is filled with 80 pages that look like ancient papyrus! Now you, too, can write like an Egyptian scribe when you use these notebooks as a diary or travel journal, for class notes, or even to practice writing hieroglyphs yourself. The pages are unlined, but papyrus paper was created by laying out strips of papyrus, so those strip marks can be a guide for writing evenly. You can write with a normal ballpoint pen, felt-tip, or calligraphy pen - just like any normal paper. The spine of each volume is a different color for easy reference, and they create a pleasing variety of colors on your bookshelf. The cover of this 80-page 7"x10" notebook is glossy. There are also 120-page versions of the Egyptian Gods & Goddesses Notebooks that have covers in a matte finish. This volume: The lioness goddess Sekhmet is No. 3 in the Egyptian Gods & Goddesses Notebooks series. Sekhmet's name means, "The Powerful One." She is a strong, fiercely loving and nurturing protector and healer. Sekhem power is to be in charge and able to control situations. Her fiery strength was valued by the Egyptians because she healed sicknesses and made things right when there was trouble. A popular goddess throughout all the eras of Ancient Egypt, there are more statues of Sekhmet than any other Egyptian goddess. Her partner was Ptah, god of Memphis and the "Lord of Truth." Sekhmet is the muse for many writers. Maybe she will bring you some inspiration as you write or draw on these papyrus-like pages! A perfect gift for anyone who loves Egypt, both adults and young people!
