Ancient Egyptian Magic
Description
Takes readers through the fundamentals of Egyptian magic, its techniques, rituals, magical formulas.
Ancient Egyptian Magic takes readers step by step through the Egyptian philosophy and practice of magic. The author, Eleanor L. Harris, is a long-time practitioner of Egyptian magic, and she explains the "hows" and "whys" of magical tools, amulets, rituals, ceremony, and spells. Advanced practitioners will find especially useful instruction on actual Egyptian magical script as found in the ancient papyri, such as The Leyden Papyrus, The Papyrus Ani (the Egyptian Book of the Dead), and other important works.
You will learn how to:
- Invoke Egyptian gods and spirits for divination and magic
- Scry with fire, oil, and water
- Evoke messengers and spirits of the dead
- Have dream visions
- Sound the secret names of the deities
- Shape-shift into god forms
- Cast spells for love, protection, and healing
- Create ritual clothing and magical tools
Why We Carry It
Harris does not start with the gods, she starts with how the Egyptians understood a spell to work at all. Get that first and the rituals stop looking like costume. The later chapters go straight to the papyri, which very few books attempt.
Who It Is For
Students who want the reconstruction taken seriously, and practitioners ready to work with the source texts.
