I know there are a few sources that you might want to check out. I've never had the pleasure of running into any of them, as I believe they're all out of print, but they're often highly recommended by Hemet (AUS). As for anything else beyond these few sources, you'll have to ask Hemet herself; I don't know much other than the fact that it makes sense with my UPG, which of course isn't going to help you in a scholarly field. ;) I apologize if I'm repeating sources that you've already seen, but these are what I've often heard cited for information solely on Jackals.

The DuQuesne books are so hard to come by. I have Jackal at the Shaman's Gate, I was luckly to find it for about $50, the other DuQuesne books are far to pricey for me..:( But I did not fine Jackal to be all that good, and the cover really put me off. For someone who was ment to be an expert showing Anubis as a winged woman did not really sit well with me (if that makes sense).
If I can find a translated Grenier I'll check that out..:)
The Ischlondsky journal is really really interesting, it was one of the first papers I printed out, though he/she does not state where much of their information comes from.
Thank you for the luck! I will need it..:) My eyes have gone boggled and my head is so full of conflicting information its impossible to sort truth from misunderstanding. And then you get the whole interpretation issues... One person says one thing, another person says something totaly different, and then someone cites something else!!!
AUGH!!:)
But thank you again. What you posted is a great help!
Glad to be of help. Have you tried getting the other DuQuesne books on some kind of interlibrary loan? I believe I've heard that one of the books is more a list of sources than an actual book in it's own right, which would be... well, I don't know how useful. I don't actually know how interlibrary loan works - I've never tried it, though my Celtic recon friend has used it countless times for obscure books. I'm disappointed to hear that Jackal at the Shaman's Gate wasn't all that good, though. Ah well... can't win them all. The title of the book put me off a bit, what with "Egyptian Shamanism" being popular in the New Age community, but I'd been giving it the benefit of the doubt.
As for the Grenier translation issue... that's one of the reasons I'm studying German right now, so I can start reading some of these darn sources myself. Partly also for my ancestors, but partly for that - and I'm studying Psychology!;)
