Omm Sety: A Life Well Remembered
By Rosemary Clark
FATE :: January 2001

Tales of reincarnation and past-life memory are rarely proven. In some instances, the recollection seems fanciful and speculative; in others, the information may be provocative and the details unique. One of the most convincing examples of the latter in modern times is the extraordinary life of Dorothy Eady, an Englishwoman born at the turn of the 20th century who later became known to many as Omm Sety.

Portions of Omm Sety’s life have been documented in books and on film in recent times. These accounts describe her conscious memory of a previous life as a priestess in ancient Egypt, which began to awaken at the age of three following a serious fall. She told the dramatic story of how it came about candidly to many people, and made no apologies for her peculiar interest in this past life or for her remarkable affinity with a prominent monarch of the 19th Egyptian Dynasty, Pharaoh Sety I (c. 1320-1200 b.c.).

I came to know Omm Sety at a dramatic time in my own life, when I made my first pilgrimage to Egypt in 1976. I had begun a temple practice in the canon of the ancient Egyptian religion, and was determined to find answers to my questions about this long-forgotten spiritual work and its meaning in the present day. Books on Egyptology and arcane religions did little to satisfy my confusion about what it meant and why I was doing it. I knew the solution had to exist in Egypt.

It was there that I met Omm Sety and, with her encouragement, began my own journey of awakening, just as she had decades earlier.
