First published in 2002. The power of magical names, spells, and talismans was of utmost importance to the ancient Egyptians and their religion. Here, in another classic by the foremost Egyptian scholar of the Victorian era, E. A.

Illustrated with twenty line drawings, this volume is one more key needed to unlock the secrets of this great ancient civilization.
