Dorothy Eady

Dorothy Louise Eady, also known as Omm Sety or Om Seti , was Keeper of the Abydos Temple of Seti I and draughtswoman for the Department of Egyptian Antiquities. She is especially well known for her belief that in a previous life she had been a priestess in ancient Egypt, as well as her considerable historical research at Abydos. Her life and work has been the subject of many articles, television documentaries, and biographies. A New York Times article described her life story as one of the Western Worlds most intriguing and convincing modern case histories of reincarnation.

Dorothy Louise Eady was born in London in 1904, and raised in a coastal town. At the age of three, after falling down a flight of stairs, she began exhibiting strange behaviours, asking that she be brought home. This caused some conflict in her early life. Her Sunday school teacher requested that her parents keep her away from class, because she had compared Christianity with heathen ancient Egyptian religion. She was expelled from a Dulwich girls school after she refused to sing a hymn that called on God to curse the swart Egyptians. Her regular visits to Catholic mass, which she liked because it reminded her of the Old Religion, were terminated after an interrogation and visit to her parents by a priest.
