Average customer review:Product Description
"Ancient Egyptian Magic" weaves together the mythology, the deities of magic and the Egyptian belief system with rituals, charms, hieroglyphs, amulets, chants and prayers. In so doing, it creates a way of reconnecting with ideas that have formed the basis of modern ritual and magical practices but are otherwise often obscure and unnecessarily complex. It uses a large number of charms and spells together with modern interpretations designed to relate this powerful ancient world to the demands of modern everyday life.

Fascinating, historical read
My my cassandra you've done it again. Fascinating read, a book deep in history and magic. Well researched, well written and a good read whether you are interested in practicing magic or not.
A Well-researched Primer
The author has clearly carried out a great deal of basic reserch for this title, even travelling to key sites in Egypt to ensure authenticity. Given the plethora of titles on this topic, she has produced a superb introduction to Ancient Egyptian Magic but also ensured that it is still highly relevant and of beneficial use in modern, everday life. Highly recommended.
Modern Fluffy Rubbish!
If you're looking for anything remotely authentic to the Egyptiantradition - don't buy this book.
Modern Wicca-esque rubbish - thiswoman wouldn't know real Egyptian magic if it jumped up and bit her, butthen what else can you expect from a so-called celtic druid who churns outso many books similar to this one so frequently? This book completelymisses the Egyptian mark.
If I could give it less than one star Iwould.
