Egyptian Magic and Spells

The method for Egyptian Magic is as follows:

(though this is in no way the one true form to use Egyptian Magic, as a Witch we tend to use information from various sources and do our own thing, this is from the Book ‘Egyptian Paganism for Beginners- Jocelyn Almond & Keith Seddon’)

• First is to find an actual Egyptian event if possible- discussed in an earlier post link here: https://papyrusofani.wordpress.com/2013/11/30/egyptain-magic/   
• Gather materials you will need, such as pen, paper, ink, incense,colored candles, Deity statue, amulets etc
• Have the words spoken in your Rite, ready at hand
• Cast your circle
• Invoke your chosen Deity
• Tell your event/story- identifying yourself with the chosen Deity involved in story.
• Ground your energy into a talisman, amulet or wax figure
• Leave offerings and thank Deity
• Close circle and keep talisman, amulet or wax figure in a safe place

Here are a few examples of Events that can be used in spells.

Healing: Isis heals Horus

Defeat an enemy: This could also imply a negative habit, rather than an actual person. Horus defeats Set, or Ra defeats Apep

Calm a person or situation: Pacification of Sekhmet

Return an unfaithful lover (upg: not really sure I would want to) Isis love for Osiris despite his affair with Nephthys

Protection: Neteru protects Osiris

Relieve depression: Hathor exposes herself to Ra

Conceive a child: Isis conceives Horus

Find a lost thing: Anubis finds parts of Osiris’s body

Happy marriage: Hathor and Horus

Creativity: Khepera creates the world (depending what creation myth you prefer)

Egyptian Magic

The ancient Egyptians word for magic was heka, and it was part of everyday life, from farming,childbirth,medicine,and occasions. They believed just by saying the words out loud, that the magic would become real. There was four main rules that took place, which where: Images, identification with the god or goddess, words of power and repetition of Egyptian myths and events.

• Images: Paintings inside the tombs include such images as menus, so that the dead could come visit his burial place and pick from the menu what he wanted to eat, eyes where painted on sides of the coffins so the dead could look out, they included pictures of ears on their prayers so they would be heard. An image had the power to bring about the situation that was depicted.
• Which God or Goddess: By invoking and working with the required deity, helps you channel their power. It would do no good to work with Anubis for a beauty spell, you want a deity that holds a beauty correspondence such as Hathor or Isis. So correct identification will serve you well.
• Words of power: To be aware of the true name of a deity, demon, animal, person and so on, was to have power over them.
• Myths:  The Egyptians based their magic around events of the deity’s, they would place themselves in the deity position for example: Horus was ill several times as a child and his mother Isis healed him. So to perform a healing spell, you would tell the patient this tale of Isis healing her son, putting the role of Horus into the patient and yourself as Isis, and just as she healed him, the patient would be healed with other elements as well such as herbs and amulets.
