Clássico do pensamento esotérico, este livro é leitura essencial tanto para estudiosos quanto para curiosos e buscadores que desejam desvendar os mistérios que atravessaram os séculos e ainda hoje ecoam em nossa herança cultural e espiritual.Para os antigos egipcios, a magia no era superstiço nem mero artificio: tratava-se de uma força vital, intrinsecamente ligada a ordem cosmica, a espiritualidade e a vida em comunidade. Seus rituais iam muito alem da simples proteço contra forças hostis deste ou do outro mundo, constituiam um elaborado sistema de canticos, formulas e cerimonias capazes de convocar divindades e movimentar as energias ocultas do universo.Entre papiros, hinos e simbolos sagrados, Florence Farr transporta o leitor por uma viagem reveladora aos segredos da magia egipcia, apresentando seus fundamentos e desvelando a influencia duradoura dessa tradiço sobre correntes misticas posteriores, como o gnosticismo.
