Hello,

I would appreciate if someone can give me a brief introduction about Egyptian Deities and provide me some references, like books and websites. Thank you.

Are there any gods you're particularly interested in? It's a bit hard to give references for all of them. That said, Wikipedia's not a bad place to start. Wilkinson's Complete Gods and Goddesses of Ancient Egypt will give you a good overview if you can access it too.

Here is a link to the Kemetic SIG's gods-and-mythology resources list.  YOu may also find the rest of the SIG helpful.

Special Interest Group.  Our SIG subforums are specifically focused on a particular topic, often with special rules about keeping more or less onto that topic - in this case, the Kemetic SIG is the special interset group for people interested in Kemetic religion, that being reconstructions of religious ideas from ancient Egypt. :)

Hello,

I regularly work with Anubis, who is the God of funeral rites, caring for the dead, embalming, safe guarding the soul during the passage, and weighing the soul against the feather.  I can tell you whatever you'd like to know about him.  And yes, I've heard all of the death-related jokes and dealing with an entity that safe guards the dead.  But when you discover the true nature of death, you will understand Anubis in a brighter light.

Wikipedia has a pretty decent article on the subject.
For he who has truly lived never truly dies.
