Winged Pharaoh

Winged Pharoah is “a book of fine idealism, deep compassion, and a spiritual quality pure and bright as flame” (New York Times).

As a child, the astonishing Joan Grant became aware of her uncanny “Far Memory,” the ability to recall past incarnations who had lived in long-ago times and far-flung places. Her seven historical novels stand out for their vividness and rich detail. For Joan, these books were not works of the imagination but personal recollections of her previous lives.

In Winged Pharaoh, Joan Grant tells the story of Sekeeta, the Pharaoh’s daughter. The ancient Egyptians reserved the title of “Winged Pharaoh” for ruler-priests who possessed extra-sensory powers. When Sekeeta demonstrates psychic abilities, she is sent to the temple and trained to recall past lives. Upon the death of her father, she becomes a “Winged Pharaoh”—both priestess and Pharaoh—and leads her country with enlightenment.

The most famous of Joan Grant’s Far Memory novels, this book brings the grandeur, beauty, and mystery of ancient Egypt to life.

The astonishing Joan Grant (1907–1989) became aware as a child of her uncanny gift of "far memory"—an ability to recall in detail previous incarnations, both male and female, in other centuries and other lands. Her seven historical novels have been highly praised for their extraordinary vividness and richly diverting detail, and are in fact the author's memories of her earlier lives.
