Egyptian Magic

By E.A. Wallis Budge and General Press

'Egyptian Magic' is a well-known study by E.A. Wallis Budge, long curator of Egyptian antiquities at the British Museum, which sums up everything that is known about the wonder-working of ancient Egypt. After a general discussion of the role of magic in Egyptian religion proper-Dr. Budge covers the powerful amulets that ward off evil spirits; the scarabs of immortality; the use of wax images and spirit placements; magical pictures and formulas; magic via the secret name; the magic of sounds; rituals; curses; destruction of hostile magic; determination of fortunate dates, and many of the other practices of the ancient Nile dwellers. Many wonderful tales are told in these Egyptian stories; mind control, enforcing will upon animals, suspended animation, calling up the dead, finding ancient books of incredible magical power, and other miraculous events that we may or may not believe.
