I first read this book when I was in high school, teaching myself magic and occultism. It was very influential to me then. I even once wrote to the author, Murry Hope, and she graciously replied. She seemed like a very nice lady.

When I saw this in a second hand book shop, I had to buy it for old times sake. And while I now realize that her archaeology and physics knowledge was a bit dodgy, I still enjoyed it and got a bit out of it. It’s certainly dated, but for me the chief virtue of this book is that it is inspirational. Murry Hope’s humor and good nature seem to shine through, and that makes for enjoyable reading.

There was an old woman who had an art studio in a loft in the building that I live in and she left her apartment piled high with art supplies canvases books and memorabilia. Some young scammer who also lived in our building thought she should have an estate sale and pocket all the money so I went up to investigate and saw this book on the floor. I am a quarter Egyptian and absolutely obsessed with ancient Egyptian culture so I could not pass this up and unfortunately had to buy it . I enjoyed learning more about each individual god and getting to know them more .

Overly eclectic...

Me pareció bien para iniciarse en temas egipcios no sabía nada, es muy superficial

I'd put this book into the same category as Ben Carson's allegations that the pyramids held grain. Only a few steps below that. I've kept this "book" in my home to show as a severely bad example of "research". I've also labeled it as "humor", in a very dark way. Murry Hope has absolutely no discernable background in Egyptology. She has no connection to understanding anything about ancient Egyptian history whatsoever. I wouldn't even begin to think about whatever is remotely "practical" or "magical" about anything written in this book. I'm sure she "Hope"'d for a better review. Not remotely coming. She could publish this as bad sci fi (I do like good science fiction and fantasy, but this ain't even remotely close to it.)

[Ruby Hollyberry]

Utterly terrible author. Not sure what philosophy they follow. Among other things it includes homophobia and recommends complete celibacy to all magickal practitioners. ???

[Mary Woldering]

Thumbed through it many years ago. It was useful in research for my own novel set in the time period.

[Patricia Weston]

I've read and re-read this book. It is excellent, Murry was an exceptional medium, so profoundly knowledgeable. Her contribution to the world of the occult is underestimated in my opinion.
