The Egyptian Book of the Dead
by E.A. Budge
The Egyptian Book of the Dead is unquestionably one of the
most influential books in all history. Embodying a ritual
to be performed for the dead, with detailed instructions
for the behavior of the disembodied spirit in the Land of
the Gods, it served as the most important repository of
religious authority for some three thousand years. Chapters
were carved on the pyramids of the ancient 5th Dynasty,
texts were written in papyrus, and selections were painted
on mummy cases well into the Christian Era. In a certain
sense it stood behind all Egyptian civilization. In the
year1888 Dr. E. Wallis budge, then purchasing agent for
the British Museum, followed rumors he heard of a spectacular
archeological find in Upper Egypt, and found in an 18th
Dynasty tomb near Luxor "the largest roll of papyrus
I had ever seen, tied with a thick band of papyrus , and
in a perfect state of preservation." It was a copy
of the Egyptian Book of the Dead, written around 1500 B.C.
for Ani, Royal Scribe of Thebes, Overseer of the Granaries
of the Lords of Abydos, and Scribe of the Offerings of the
Lords of Thebes. This Papyrus of Ani, a full version of
the Theban recension, is presented here by Dr. Budge, who
later became perhaps the world`s most renowned Egyptologist.
Reproduced in full are a clear copy of the Egyptian hieroglyphs,
an interlinear transliteration of their sounds (as reconstructed),
a word-for-word translation, and separately a complete smooth
translation. All this is preceded by an introduction of
more than 150 pages. As a result of this multiple apparatus
the reader has a unique opportunity to savor all aspects
of the Book of the Dead, or as it was otherwise known, The
Book of Great Awakening.

The Egyptian Book of Living
and Dying
by Joann Fletcher
In addition to their astonishing legacy of artifacts and
burial sites, the ancient Egyptians also produced a rich
body of writing about the quest for immortality. The Egyptian
Book of Living and Dying traces humankinds progress from
birth to death to the mysterious realm of the afterlife,
with this mortal cycle set against the eternal backdrop
of the cosmos: the gods, the movement of the sun, the symbolism
of the stars, and the great battles of Horus and Seth. In
particular, the Book of the Dead emphasizes the hazardous
voyage of the soul as it makes its way through the Underworld
in search of the eternal paradise. This illuminating 144
page softcover book will help bring readers one step closer
to the spirit of the ancient Egyptians.

Egyptian Magic
by E.A. Wallis Budge
For millennia, Egypt, the dark land, has been considered
the home of magic. The feats of her priests and magicians
were renowned throughout the ancient world, from the simplest
legerdemain (according to present interpretation) to the
heights of necromancy and sorcery. Even their most severe
critics, the ancient Hebrews, admitted the power of Egyptian
magic. In the famous sorcerers` duel between Moses and the
Egyptian priests before Pharaoh, he Egyptians were almost
as skilled as Moses. This well-known study of ancient Egyptian
Magic by E. Wallis Budge, long curator of Egyptian antiquities
at the British Museum, sums up everything that is known
about the wonder-working of ancient Egypt. After a general
discussion of the role of magic in Egyptian religion proper
(to control the gods) Dr. Budge covers the powerful amulets
that warded off evil spirits; the scarabs of immortality;
the use of wax images and spirit placements; magical pictures
and formulas; magic via the secret name; magic of sounds;
rituals; curses; destruction of hostile magic; determination
of fortunate dates; and many of the other practices used
by the ancient Nile dwellers. Dozens of magic formulas are
given in full, both in the original Egyptian sounds, as
far as they can be recreated, and in English; dozens of
excerpts are also given from the magical papyroi, tomb inscriptions,
and other sources. Many wonderful tales are told in these
Egyptian stories; mind control, enforcing will upon animals,
suspended animation, calling up the dead, finding ancient
books of incredible magical power, and other miraculous
events that we may or may not believe.

Fourth
Book of Occult Philosophy
by Henry Agrippa
It is
amazing how often it is said that The Fourth Book of Occult
Philosophy, first published in English in 1655, is spurious.
This is to a large extent due to a common misperception
that the entire work was written by Henry Cornelius Agrippa.
It is actually a collection of texts on magic and geomancy
that includes Agrippa’s book of Magical Ceremonies.
The other treatises, however, are equally remarkable. Although
The Fourth Book of Occult Philosophy was reprinted in a
facsimile edition by asking in 1978, and other publishers
have reprinted its individual components, this is the first
edition to contain all six books, annotated by an expert
in magical practice, set in modern type, and reorganized
for easier use. The magical texts are grouped in part I,
and the two geomancy texts comprise Part II. Hardcover,
232 pages.

The Gods of the Egyptians,
Vol. 1
by E A Budge
Thoth, the ibis-headed god of wisdom, inventor of the art
of writing; Osiris, the dead god who arose and set the pattern
for death-and-resurrection gods ever since; Isis, the great
mother, wandering through the reed swamps; Anubis, conductor
of the dead, with jackal head; Bast, the cat goddess; Set,
the evil serpent; Ptah, the living mummy for more than 2500
years, since the days of Herodotus, students have found
the gods of Ancient Egypt a source of fascination and wonder.
Strange beings who lived in a world of their own (as opposed
to the human gods of the European peoples), irrational powers
and menaces, sometimes animal-like, sometimes superhuman,
sometimes incalculable in their evil potentialities, they
still have the power to move men`s thoughts. By far the
most thorough, most useful coverage of the gods of Ancient
Egypt is the present, two-volume book by Dr. Budge fo the
British Museum, one of the foremost Egyptologists of the
century. In it is presented practically everything known
about the high gods, the local gods, demigods, demons and
mythological figures of Khem. Dr. Budge provides full information
on the origins of the ancient religion; its peculiarly Egyptian
aspects; evolution of cults, rites and gods; the priesthoods;
the heretical aberration of Ikhnaten and the Aten cult;
the cult of Osiris; the Book of the Dead and its rites;
the sacred animals and birds; heaven and hell, and much
other secret wisdom that has been discovered hidden in mummy
cases or written on tomb walls. The text is profusely illustrated,
with many reproductions of tomb and mummy-case paintings,
while many full texts are presented, with both hieroglyphs
and translation. This is the first volume of the two volume
set, and is a 525 page softcover book.

Secrets
of Egyptian Spellcasting
by E.A. Budge
From
the records of the prestigious "Keeper of the Egyptian
and Assyrian Antiquities" at the British Museum, comes
long forgotten knowledge of how to make use of dreams, tap
the power of lucky and unlucky days, and utilize talismans
and charms initially designed in the distant past and still
useful and beneficial today. For centuries the actual magical
spells and formulas utilized by the wizards of this ancient
paradise along the Nile were kept secret for fear that they
would fall into the "wrong hands." With the reprinting
of this exceedingly rare book, first published over a century
ago, it is now possible to adapt the occult secrets of the
early Egyptians to one’s daily life for mental and
physical stability, as well as for protection, guidance,
and material abundance. This is a 234-page, large print
trade paperback.
