Egyptian Magic - Paperback

by Florence Farr (Author)

Egyptian Magic is a book written by Florence Farr that explores the mysteries of ancient Egyptian magic. The book is divided into two parts: the first part provides an introduction to the history and culture of ancient Egypt, while the second part delves into the practices and rituals of Egyptian magic. Throughout the book, Farr discusses the gods and goddesses of ancient Egypt, their roles in Egyptian mythology, and how they were invoked in magical practices. She also explores the use of amulets, talismans, and other magical objects in Egyptian magic, as well as the importance of astrology and divination in ancient Egyptian culture.In addition to providing a comprehensive overview of Egyptian magic, Farr also includes practical instructions for performing Egyptian magical rituals, spells, and incantations. She explains the symbolism and significance of each ritual, and provides step-by-step instructions for performing them.Overall, Egyptian Magic is a fascinating exploration of one of the world's oldest and most mysterious magical traditions. It is a must-read for anyone interested in ancient Egyptian culture, mythology, and magic.The study of Magic, which has now fallen into disrepute was, among the Egyptians, regarded with a veneration hardly accorded to the highest Philosophy in modern times. To the Ancient Egyptians the most eminent man was he who had by hard training gained supremacy over the Elements, from which his own body and the Manifested World were alike formed; one whose Will had risen Phoenix-like from the ashes of his desires; one whose Intuition, cleansed from the stains of material illusion, was a clear mirror in which he could perceive the Past, the Present and the Future.""
