Introduction
The religious and magical practices of the ancient Egyptians have had a profound and lasting effect on the world. Egypt has been described as the “mother of magicians ” .[1] To appreciate the Egyptian view of magic, we need to accept that to the Egyptians magic was not considered strange or eccentric, but was a part of daily life, to which everyone resorted.Magic blended seamlessly withreligion and medicine, being seen as part of a holistic worldview.
This universality of magic seems strange to us today, in a world where magic has been compartmentalised and marginalized to the fringes of society. However magic was as much a part of daily life as food or drink, and had no stigma attached to it. Magic was a fact of life, and part of the cycle of eternity that ensured order in human existence.Magic was seen as a positive and indeed vitally necessary part of existence, not a threatening or unnatural negative force. |
