Ancient Egypt

The ancient Egyptians had a very sophisticated system of spiritual and magical development, based on years of rigorous and disciplined training.

By magic we mean the ability to use the power of the mind, combined with a detailed knowledge of natural forces, to create real change in the physical world. Their knowledge of mathematics, astronomy, healing, anatomy and astrology was lost for millennia and much of what they knew has only been rediscovered within the last two hundred years.

Many of the rituals and methods of the ancient Egyptians have been carefully researched and recreated by scholars in the last 150 years. This rediscovered material is very accessible to the student and can be very profitably employed as an effective system of magical and spiritual development.
