Jim Liedeka reviewed Egyptian magic. by Ernest Alfred Wallis Budge (Books on Egypt and Chaldaea,)
Review of 'Egyptian magic.' on 'Goodreads'
4 stars
In the beginning, it's obvious this book is written by and for Victorian Christians. The word superstition gets thrown around a lot. Once you get past that, it's all fact with little editorializing. This is a good overview of what was known of Egyptian magickal practices. It leaves a lot of unanswered questions but so does everything else in Egyptology.
