Lord of the Carnelian Temple Bibliotheca Alexandrina

Green of Plume. Sharp of Teeth. Lord of Strife and Fear. In the swirling, dark waters of creation, two eyes stare up at you. Slowly, they rise, and out of the water emerges an enormous crocodile, its eyes shining bright as the sun lights up the world around you. This is Sobek, and he beckons you near. Within this book you will find the words of Sobek's modern devotees. Hymns, poetry, stories, essays, and rituals reveal just a little bit of who Sobek is, and how an ancient crocodile god is still relevant in the modern world.. Dive into the waters with him and discover which face he decides to show you.
