Symbol & Magic in Egyptian Art

Rating:
Summary: Egyptian magic from every point of view
Review: Dr. Richard Wilkinson has produced a very important work in this book about one of the most mistreated areas of ancient Egyptian culture, as it is that of Magic. This book handles the matter with such a finesse and humanly touch that the reader is guided along this difficult terrain with the clear and concise guide of the author's account and the help of a plentiful number of beautiful illustrations. There are chapters dealing with the symbolism of colors, materials, actions, gestures, numbers, hieroglyphs, forms, size and location. A must-have-it for anybody interested in deepening his/her knowledge of the mysterious and fascinant world of ancient Egyptian Magic. Highly recommended, both for professionals and newcomers!
