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
There is a glossary of deities and terms, along with a list of resources for more information on specialty items to outfit the detail-oriented magician.
