Coffee With David

You may have seen this on my Facebook page or in any of the Facebook groups I belong to. I have been running with a concept for an upcoming horror short story, but I have hit a brick wall on my research. Here is the request I posted:

“I am trying to research the ancient Egyptian concept of the 4 aspects of the soul, especially the Sheut. All I have been able to find are short descriptions, similar to this from wikipedia: ‘A person's shadow, Sheut (šwt in Egyptian), was always present. It was believed that a person could not exist without a shadow, nor a shadow without a person, therefore, Egyptians surmised that a shadow contained something of the person it represents. For this reason statues of people and deities were sometimes referred to as their shadows.

The shadow was represented graphically as a small human figure painted completely black as well, as a figure of death, or servant of Anubis.’

Is there any websites or books (in English) that goes into more details about the Sheut and its relationship to the person and the soul. I am looking for any myth or details on it?”

Thank you in advance and please visit www.davidalanlucas.com for more information.
