ANCIENT EGYPTIAN MAGIC: A HANDS ON GUIDE

In the ancient world, Egyptian magicians were the best whether you needed a love charm, a chat with your dead wife or the ability to fly like a bird. Using ancient texts and images to explore the blurred distinctions between magic, religion and medicine, this book reveals what the Egyptians thought about magic, who performed it and why. Along the way, you'll discover 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.
