<p> Wealthy millionaire by day, at night Jimmie Dale put on a costume and becomes „The Grey Seal,” daredevil safe cracker and footpad – he never takes a thing, but leaves behind his mark, a grey seal of paper to mark his conquest. He was just doing it for „the sheer deviltry of it” at first, but when a woman catches him she blackmails him to war on certain crime organizations. Frank Packard’s Gray Seal character first appeared in print in 1914. In some ways he was inspired by earlier Edwardian adventurers like A.J Raffles, the Scarlet Pimpernel, and Arsene Lupin, but Packard blended those borrowed elements into an entirely new concept. Dale’s adventures first appeared in „People’s Magazine” and then were collected into several novels.</p>

The Seal of Duat is not just a guidebook — it is a symbolic resurrection. This second volume of The Inner Pantheon reconstructs a forgotten language of memory, myth, and transformation. Drawing from ancient Egyptian funerary texts, cave symbols, dream rituals, and archetypal psychology, the book decodes how humanity once encoded inner truth into form — long before gods were named or myths were told. Each chapter reveals a layer of the soul's journey through the underworld (Duat): descent, shadow, judgment, and rebirth — not as dogma, but as symbolic memory. Along the way, the book introduces a living deck of archetypes, dreams, rituals, and laws — not to be worshipped, but played, enacted, and remembered. This is not history. This is initiation. Not fiction. But a mirror. The Seal of Duat is a return to the oldest truth: what you do echoes, and what you remember transforms.
