This presentation of "The Egyptian Book of the Dead" is only a partial representation. The intent here is to give an overview of Egyptian beliefs in the afterlife. All of the hymns, accolades and prayers were meant to be experienced and performed by the deceased after death. It is the ancient egyptian view into what happens after the death of the body.

Magic, Mysticism and Arcane Knowledge

  • Magical Good Luck Charms And Amulets
    Thai amulets are not just made on a factory assembly line. Instead most amulets from Thailand are made by long time monks, who use their experience to cast spells, make sacred scripts (included in the amulet) and create magical pictures for them.

  • Astrological Remedies
    As every science, there is theory and its proofing. A very long experience has proved theories and practical aspects of Indian astrology.

  • Candle Magic - Magic Candle Colours
    What colour of candle should I burn for what purpose? And when... As there is no book out there called Candle Burning for Dummies, I thought I would give you a quick crash course in the correspondences of colour candles to magickal purposes.



  • Sacred Geometries
    Johannes Kepler, the man who discovered the mathematical formula for the orbits of the planets was obsessed with what he called the music of the spheres.

  • Celtic Druids And The Spirals Of Life
    Some of the oldest symbols associated with the Celts are Celtic spirals. Prominently displayed on ancient artifacts dating long before the written word in Ireland.

  • Chaos Magic - Secret Source Of All Power
    Chaos magic is magic without limitations. The rule is that there are no rules. You choose what the rules are, you choose everything.
