Overview
For ancient Egyptians, religion and magic were interconnected in a profound way. So here we see a belief in spells, amulets, charms, magical names and potions that is the foundation of religious life. Encouraged by the priests of Ancient Egypt, this classic work outlines how a person in that society could invoke magic to honour the gods. The modern reader will also be fascinated by sections on dreams, ghosts and astrological information.
