Egyptian Magic by Florence Farr is a comprehensive guide to the magical practices and beliefs of ancient Egypt. The book is divided into three sections, each focusing on a different aspect of Egyptian magic. The first section explores the history and mythology of ancient Egypt, including the gods and goddesses, the pharaohs, and the role of magic in everyday life. The second section delves into the practical aspects of Egyptian magic, including spells, rituals, and divination techniques. The final section provides a detailed analysis of the symbolism and meaning behind Egyptian magical practices, including the use of amulets, talismans, and other magical objects. Throughout the book, Farr draws on her extensive knowledge of ancient Egyptian culture and mythology to provide a rich and engaging exploration of this fascinating subject. Whether you are a student of ancient history, a practitioner of magic, or simply curious about the mysteries of ancient Egypt, Egyptian Magic is an essential resource for anyone interested in this fascinating topic.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.""
