Description
'Egyptian Magic' by Sir E.A. Wallis Budge was first published in 1901 and remains a significant work in the study of ancient Egyptian beliefs and rituals. Budge was a renowned British Egyptologist and curator at the British Museum, widely known for his translations of Egyptian texts and his accessible approach to sharing ancient knowledge. His writing style is scholarly yet engaging, often blending detailed historical research with vivid descriptions that captivate both academic and general readers.
In Egyptian Magic, Budge explores the mystical and spiritual practices of ancient Egypt, focusing on the use of magic in everyday life, religion, medicine, and protection against evil forces. Drawing from ancient papyri, tomb inscriptions, and temple texts, the book provides insight into how Egyptians understood and interacted with the unseen world. Topics include magical amulets, spells, the role of priests, and the connection between magic and religion.
Budge presents magic not as superstition, but as a central aspect of Egyptian cosmology and spiritual life. The book offers a fascinating look into a civilization where the divine and the magical were deeply intertwined. Even today, it serves as an essential resource for those interested in ancient spirituality, mythology, and esoteric traditions.
