E. A. Wallis Budge discusses the close connection in ancient Egypt between religion and magic, demonstrating that a large number of Egyptian religious ceremonies had their origin in superstitious customs. He describes the antiquity of magical practices in Egypt, and gives an account of various magical ceremonies, as well as magical stones, amulets, figures, pictures, formulae, spells and names. The book also covers other aspects of Egyptian magic, such as demoniacal possession, dreams, ghosts, lucky and unlucky days, horocopes, prognostications, transformations and the worship of animals."
