A Walk with Death…
Death is one of the most important things about our lives, and yet many people have remarkably shallow views on it, preferring to settle for religious folk tales rather than using our aliveness to explore its apparent opposite.
Certain authors, including, Terry Pratchett, have cleverly used humour to explore this question.
Philosophical history is full of excellent accounts of the journey of death, but how will we know which are useful and which fanciful?
The Vedic and Egyptian civilisations – to name but two – had detailed descriptions of what we should expect after death.
We will be asking for guest speakers to take a ten-minute slot to give us an overview of their interpretations.
Finally, we will ask whether a spiritual understanding of life can equip us better to encounter death… and take that walk with ‘the Reaper’!
In this first of the ‘dark months’ join us for seriousness and merriment as we throw ourselves into this challenging topic!

Myths of Ancient Egypt
Sue Vincent
In the Two Lands of Ancient Egypt, a mythical history has been preserved. It begins with the dawn of Creation itself and spans one of the greatest stories ever to capture the heart and imagination of humankind.
In this retelling, it is Isis, the Mistress of all Magic herself, who tells the story of the sacred family of Egypt. In forgotten ages, the gods lived and ruled amongst men. Many tales were told, across many times and cultures, following the themes common to all mankind. Stories were woven of love and loss, magic and mystery, life and death. One such story has survived from the most distant times.
In the Two Lands of Ancient Egypt a mythical history has been preserved across the centuries.
“We have borne many names and many faces, my family and I. All races have called us after their own fashion and we live their stories for them, bringing to life the Universal Laws and Man’s own innermost heart. We have laughed and loved, taught and suffered, sharing the emotions that give richness to life. But for now, I will share a chapter of my family’s story. One that has survived intact through the millennia, known and remembered still, across your world. Carved in stone, written on papyrus, I will tell you of a time when my name was Isis.”
