About the Author

Linda Iles has been fascinated with ancient myths and tales for as long as she can remember. A spiritual seeker since an early age, she experienced a "spontaneous spiritual awakening" and subsequently was ordained as a priestess within the Fellowship of Isis by FOI Co-Founder Olivia Robertson in 1997. Since 1999, she has written many articles and provided presentations of Goddess-related subjects, with particular emphasis on how the divine feminine manifested in ancient Egypt. She lives in southern California with her husband Jeff. Her beautiful cat, Duncan, a true Son of Bast, passed away August 15, 2013, at the age of 18 years and 2 months. His passing was peaceful, surrounded by those who loved him. Duncan inspired Linda to begin her studies of Bast, and the love and companionship they shared continues to inspire her today.
