Sacred Teachings of Egypt

This book is really useful. It's language is easy and the richness of the information overcame my expectations. Besides that, the illustrations are pretty good. It gives support to work alone or ritual group. Today, I have a complete different vision about how to really operate with egyptian knowlegde. Antônio Vicente - Brasil

Concise and well-written

I recently bought this book and the book Egyptian Paganism for beginners, this book arrived in the mail first, so I naturally devoured it and was done in about ten hours. THis was an extremely well-written book, I especially loved that one of the first things that is in the book as was a table of the Non-Hellenized version of the Egyptian gods and goddesses names, which to anyone who is a practitioner of this path should be of great import, with the principle of right-speaking, it was so informative and just plain interesting. I just finished it when I put in my order for the Esoteric Wisdom of Ancient Egypt, I can only hope that it is as wekk written and just plain beautiful as the one I have already read. I would recommend this book to anyone, especially someone relatively new to this particular path. And also loved the Prologue dedicated to an article telling the story of Omm Sety.

The Sacred Magic of Ancient Egypt

I must admit that I was a bit skeptical when I first received this book. I couldn't quite get my mind around how this practice could be restored. After reading Ms. Clark's work I can say without a doubt she has indeed restored the spiritual practices of Ancient Egypt. This work is a delight to read. The author has taken an immense amount of research and layed out the fundamental basis for an enlightened practice of this sacred magick. I highly recommend this work to any student of the occult. The work is concise and thorough. It is a fitting addition to any occult library.

A Ancient Path Revitilized

THESACREDMAGICOFANCIENT EGYPTLlewellyn Publications, 2003BYROSEMARY CLARKA REVIEWH.H. Rev. Ptahmassu K.M. Nofra-UaaNuhati Temple FellowshipSan Diego, Californiawww.thelivingnuhati.orgOnce in a great while a new volume on the Temple Tradition of Ancient Egypt is released that not only sparks our interest, but demands our attention and holds onto it with tenacity. Rosemary Clark's book The Sacred Magic of Ancient Egypt: The Spiritual Practice Restored (Llewellyn Publications, 2003) is one such work- a work that should be considered mandatory reading for anyone who attempts to find meaning and a path of faith in the Wisdom Traditions of the Ancient Egyptians. This is a large companion volume to the sizeable The Sacred Tradition in Ancient Egypt: The Esoteric Wisdom Revealed (Llewellyn Publications, 2000), a book that is highly recommended to readers before they attempt to apply what is presented in its sequel. For students of the works of renowned metaphysician-philosopher R.A. Schwaller De Lubicz (not forgetting those of his wife Isha Schwaller De Lubicz), Rosemary Clark's volumes will become indispensable research and study guides for the high science through which the Temples, monuments and theological works of the Ancient Egyptians were composed. Whereas the strictly scholarly works of R.A. Schwaller De Lubicz serve as a tool for mapping out what Egypt's Temples and tombs say to us on an intellectual (and some would say anthropological and / or philosophical) level, Rosemary Clark has given us a far less clinical, and much more practical method for approaching the beauty of the Egyptian Mystery Traditions preserved in the monolithic religious remains of Ancient Egypt. From its beginnings, Sacred Magic asks us to open up the heart of devotion for the Force that truly made Kemet (Ancient Egypt) the forerunner of human civilizations. A Hymn to Harakhte immediately identifies for readers a book that strives to celebrate the Faith of Ancient Egypt, not merely dissect it through boring scholarship. Rosemary Clark, though bearing a gifted scholarly mind grounded in the "discoveries" of Egyptology, is clearly separated from academic Egyptology in her writings because she is not an outsider to the mystical tradition(s) she is trying to explain. It is apparent in the pages of this volume that Rosemary Clark is on the inside of the Ancient Egyptian Tradition, looking out through the eyes of a devoted scholar and teacher of the Sacred Science she helps us to investigate. The first two chapters of Sacred Magic, "The Legacy of Ancient Egypt" and "Esoteric Architecture", dissect the crux of the ancient Temple and its environment, together with the ancient world view that gave birth to a highly complex system of cosmic investigation spanning more than 3,000 years of human history. Like the De Lubicz's before her, Rosemary Clark unfolds the Temple of Egypt as an Earthly replica of the Heavens and its solar, stellar and lunar harmonies. The Temple in An
