Summary: Temples in the Mind are HARD to find
Review: I have been a Pagan for over 12 years now, but I was mainly concerned with Low or Sympathetic Magics. I wanted to 'upgrade' my studies, and since I work with the Egyptian Neter, I thought this book would help. Since I believe all books have some use, and there was a lot of information about the Gods themselves in here, I gave the book 3 stars. However, it is not a book for the novice, and there was a strong undertone of Golden Dawn Teachings, which I was not looking for. I suggest that a person looking for an introductry book for Egyptian Magic, not pick this up. It is far to advanced for even me! and Ive been practicing for a decade. Most of the Rituals are completed in the Astral Plane Temple... If you have no idea what im talking about, like I said, dont buy this book! The Schulers require the reader to have extensive knowledge of Astral Projection , and if you dont, then your lost.Because they dont teach any techinques (which is ok, since ther are countless books on the subject out there)Still,the Astral Heavy work should have been hinted at on the dust cover at least! I would reccomend this book however, if you want a few outlines for Iniaition and Amulet Creation Rituals. The book is well written, however it does lean towards Quabalist Teachings, and since the authors teach Golden Dawn Magick, this should not come as a total shock. On the whole, if you need help farmilirazing yourself with Egyptian Magick, seek elsewere.Ellen Cannon Reed's Invocation of the Gods, is a good Primer.It is sadly out of print, but still, check used book stores, its worth it!

Summary: An OK book
Review: It was a bit hard to follow at parts and the rituals we're hard to perform (you needed to memorize alot). It also seemed a bit to new age for anything actualy "Egytpian Magick" It was more "Egytpain Astral Travel" All together it was a pretty good book and very interesting. I recomend it for soemone who is exsperianced in magick. It could be very hard for a beginer or novice.

Summary: Not what I expected...
Review: Well, I had purchased this book thinking that is was a beginners book and would explain all the essentials of Egyptian Magick, and to my suprise it was not. It was a very good book though, I would recomend a different book for beginners.
