Why read it?
1 author picked Egyptian Magic as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
The world of the ancient Egyptians was a world so permeated with magic, which controlled every facet of life that traces still linger in Egypt to this day. Dr. Jacq is an authority on ancient Egyptian religious texts and it was an encounter with these traces in the form of a family of snake-charmers, which kindled his interest in Egyptian magic. I particularly liked this Aris & Phillips version because it has an Introduction by Rosalie David and in later editions, it was omitted.
From Melusine's list on The best books for exploring Ancient Egyptian Magic.
