Para los antiguos egipcios el mundo estaba lleno de magia. Egipto era el país de la magia y de los magos. Fundamentada en una concepción cosmológica y astrológica del mundo, la magia marcaba toda la vida social de los antiguos egipcios. No se trataba tan solo de magia protectora contra las fuerzas enemigas de este mundo o del otro, sino tambien de metodos y canciones de poder para evocar a los dioses y a las fuerzas ocultas. Magia y religion convivian en Egipto en un perpetuo romance que se iniciaba en este mundo y continuaba en el Mas Alla. En el presente libro Florence Farr repasa la ciencia, la filosofia y la magia en el Antiguo Egipto a traves del estudio de sus papiros, leyendas y mitologia, incluyendo un estudio de la magia entre los Gnosticos.
