"As well as containing a wealth of interesting, well-researched material, The Complete Encyclopedia of Egyptian Deities (CEED) is a standout-out contribution to both Egyptology and popular literature. In the introduction, Siuda addresses two issues relating to Egyptology and the book’s contents. Firstly, they note that the conventional academic Egyptology refers to the Egyptian Netjeru (the ancient word for plural Egyptian deities) in the past tense as somehow ‘unworthy of worship today’. Secondly, Siuda acknowledges Egyptology’s colonial past and continued de-centering of Egyptian voices in academic discourses about their own culture. Addressing these pitfalls, Siuda chooses to centre Egyptian Egyptological voices in the book citations, utilizing Egyptian knowledge and scholarship and directing readers to potentially unfamiliar authors. CEED also combines Siuda’s academic knowledge of ancient Egyptian and adjacent pantheons (gained through higher education degrees) with her own ‘time and experience as a devotee of these deities. . . . Siuda’s inclusion of modern receptions of ancient deities is rare for a publication focused on presenting academically sound information about their ancient past, as is the fact that it is written by a qualified expert and devotee; this is certainly a valuable and unique selling point. . . .CEED is an excellent resource and investment for those interested in the deities worshipped in ancient Egypt, whether they belong to a general audience, practicing Pagans, or are students of Egyptology.” –Pagan Dawn
