Description
Ancient Egyptian magic played a vital role in their daily lives, serving as both a source of supernatural wisdom and a means to influence one's fate. The gods themselves used magic to create the world and grant humans magical powers. Egyptian Magic explores how sorcerers used their craft to protect vulnerable members of society, support the gods in their battles against evil, and ensure the dead were granted immortality. The book delves into the arcane systems and traditions that governed ancient Egyptian life, shedding light on a well-organized universe of magic and the occult. Illustrated with mysterious objects from European museum collections, this book offers a fascinating glimpse into the world of ancient Egyptian sorcery.
