The Mechanics of Ancient Egyptian Magical Practice: 54 (Studies in Ancient Oriental Civilisation) by Robert K Ritner
A must-read for anyone interested in the Egyptian Heka, structural approaches to magic, methods and tools of the trade etc. I would suggest reading it with all the references as they contain a bulk of interesting data that also points to the necessary Papyri and corpora of literature to enrich one's own practices. For an egyptologist it is a treasure, for a general reader of magic in history - a vivid historiography, for an egyptomaniac - something of interest, for a practicing theurgist - show more an array of tools that may be discerned and used in a reasonable manner. show less
