The Sacred Magic of Ancient Egypt: The Spiritual Practice Restored

by Rosemary Clark

The study of Egypt’s religion and philosophy may satisfy our intellectual curiosity, but its profound wisdom is best apprehended through practical experience. Scholars now term the temple rites of magic as “ritual power,” a more accurate view that represents the ancient unity of religion and metaphysical workings. Its aim––to restore the harmony of primeval creation and our place in it.
This new edition of The Sacred Magic of Ancient Egypt presents a comprehensive guide to a modern practice of ancient Egyptian theurgy. Included are daily rituals, annual ceremonies, and the founding of a temple practice for either the sole practitioner or a gathering of celebrants. Author Rosemary Clark outlines in detail how the dimensions of Sacred Science—esoteric architecture, cosmic resonance, and ritual power—underpin a timeless tradition that has survived through the ages and has deep relevance today.
Seven chapters include 75 illustrations, 22 Tables, 4 Color Photographs, 4 Appendices, and a comprehensive Bibliography with Index.

[Simona Strong]

Ancient Egypt is where it began for all of us. I believe I was very fascinated with this book because I was just becoming conscious of the significance of how their lives directly effect our life today...in every aspect but definitely in understanding astrology and how it is directly related to who we are and gives us guidance as to how to live out our life's purpose; how to connect with the Gods and our higher self. It's quite a bit of detail about their daily rituals. I believe it is not to be studied but to be read and just held down in your subconscious to lead you into your next in your pursuit.

A very thorough guide to harnessing the magic of ancient Egypt. I do wish there were more details for solitary practice and some more consistent reminders about which god was which (the book uses the traditional Egyptian names in lieu of the more popular Hellenized ones which is valid but can make it challenging if you don’t know all the classical names).

Somehow made Egyptian mythology boring.
