Description
Egyptian Magic is a comprehensive record of the magical workings in ancient Egypt. In this book, you'll find a detailed exploration of the magicians and priests' advanced powers, which were deeply intertwined with their religious practices.
The spells, rituals, and incantations described here were often used to control the gods, who could then bestow a better life upon the people if all went well. The book covers a wide range of subjects, including magical stones and amulets, spells, ceremonies, demonic possession, ghosts, lucky and unlucky days, horoscopes, and more.
With many excerpts from powerful magical papyri and tomb inscriptions, this book provides a unique insight into the origins of magic. It also includes complete magical formulas in both English and their original Egyptian sounds, making it an invaluable resource for those interested in the history of magic or who wish to explore older methods.
