Description
In the ancient world the magicians of Egypt were considered the best. But was magic harmless fun,
heartfelt hope, or something darker? Whether you needed a love charm, a chat with your dead wife,
or the ability to fly like a bird, an Egyptian magician had just the thing. Christina Riggs explores how the
Egyptians thought about magic, who performed it and why, and also helps readers understand why we've come to
think of ancient Egypt in such a mystical, magical way in the first place.
This book takes Egyptian magic seriously, using ancient texts and images to tackle the blurry distinctions
between magic, religion and medicine. Along the way, readers will learn how to cure scorpion bites,
why you might want to break the legs off your stuffed hippopotamus toy, and whether mummies really can come
back to life. Readers will also (if so inclined) be able to save a fortune on pregnancy tests by simply
urinating on barley seeds, and learn how to use the next street parade to predict the future - or ensure that
annoying neighbour gets his comeuppance.

The Union of Isis and Thoth : Magic and Initiatory Practices of Ancient Egypt
Deep within each of us lives a primal memory of a time when the natural world was recognized as divine and
our temples were built from sacred materials enlivened through magic. Temples were not places you visited once
a week; they were centres of community, divine work, healing, and wisdom, places where Heaven and Earth meet.
This union of Heaven and Earth--the sacred temple--is also a union of Thoth and Isis: the Egyptian god of
wisdom and the creative cosmic force and the Egyptian goddess of civilizing knowledge.
Their relationship established the celestial teachings on Earth, for Thoth taught Isis all the mysteries
and magic she knows and Isis acted as Thoth's instrument to deliver the teachings in a form humanity could
use. In this initiatic guide to temple building on the spiritual and physical planes, Normandi Ellis and Nicki
Scully explain how to create a communal spiritual structure for connecting with the ancient Egyptian pantheon
as well as how to consecrate yourself and become a vessel suitable for divine wisdom and a home for your
personal gods. The authors detail the construction, shamanic visioning, and ritual consecration of a Moon
Temple dedicated to Thoth.
They explore teachings that help you develop relationships with the Egyptian neteru and realize your place
within the family of the Egyptian pantheon. They guide you as you create your inner heart temple, the adytum,
a safe place in which to receive guidance and access your higher spiritual bodies and oracular gifts.
They provide shamanic journeys and initiations on ascension, shamanic death and renewal, soul retrieval and
healing, multidimensional realities, and more.
By creating a sacred temple within and without, we each can take part in the union of Isis and Thoth and
restore the magic of the Egyptian mysteries to our time.
