Magic when the ancient Egyptian and the search for immortality

The science of magic: –

We can define magic in ancient Egypt (hekka) as the eternal/primary energy that permeates the divine / heavenly world and the human world and connects them to the other. In ancient Egypt, there were no separating boundaries between the world of the living and the world of the dead. And if there was a standard. We can divide human beings into two groups, as this criterion can communicate with the divine world. Some beings can attract the energy inherent in the names of “nitro” (divine entities), and there are beings who are less able to do so in the ancient Egyptian language.

Learning the ancient Egyptian language is the only way to know the names of “nitro” and communicate with those names’ divine powers. That is why the ancient Egyptians called their language “mudo nitr”, meaning the divine/sacred words. The ancient Egyptians did not view the universe with a rational, materialistic worldview that separates the material world from the metaphysical world. Anything in our world can be inhabited by a metaphysical, spiritual force, even if it seems to the eyes something inanimate and immovable. Any material object can be a vessel inhabited by the powers.

The divine. Examples of this were the crowns of the kings of Egypt, which were not merely decorative tools but rather tools for communicating with the divine world. Matter and spirit are of one origin, and therefore it is not surprising that the simplest material things turn into conscious spiritual entities with which a person can communicate.

And the most important thing in practising magic is to perceive the thin thread that connects all things and fuses all beings into a cosmic unity that resembles one body. This definition of magic science is sufficient to prove that magic in ancient Egypt was not just sorcery or primitive practices but rather a sacred science. It is based on specialists who spent many years in research and study to finally arrive at the knowledge of the divine powers that regulate the universe.

The most famous magicians in ancient Egypt: –

Among the most famous magicians in Egypt is the prince, “Khaum Wast”, who is the fourth son of King Ramses II (family of 19, his hadith state, about 1300 years BC), and the priest of Ptah, the eldest and mayor of the city of Memphis. The prince “Kha Um Wast” constructed and restored many architectural edifices and was fond of architecture and studying ancient texts, including books of magic, the science of magic, and he was known for his wisdom and passion for metaphysical sciences. Around him, a group of the most famous magic stories in Egypt was woven. Ancient and known as fairy tales

The magician “Satney”.

The events of one of these tales revolve around a match of magic between an Egyptian magician called “Si Osir” and a Kushite magician who came to Egypt intending to inflict shame on her in the person of her king. Still, the Egyptian magician defeats the Kushite magician and casts his magic spell on him and burns him.

Before the king of Egypt and a crowd of her nobles and nobles, it becomes evident to everyone that this magician lived in Egypt 1500 years ago. He returned and reincarnated again to protect Egypt from evil.

The Cushitic Magician.

And among the most famous magicians in the history of Egypt is also the magician “S Atum”, who lived in the Late Period (in the era of King Nectanebo II (about 359 BC), and to him.

Thanks to preserving one of the most important magical paintings in ancient Egypt, it is known as the “Metternich” painting. It contains one of the magic texts used for treatment purposes, especially the treatment of snakes and scorpion bites. The priest was S Atum.

One day, on a visit to the sacred burial site of “Marr War” calves in the city of “Iono” (Heliopolis), and he noticed the presence of some important magic inscriptions that began to be damaged.

To preserve the sacred text, the priest “S. Atum” re-copied it on a large plate, which was later known to archaeologists as the painting “Metternich”.

There is also the magician “Harnovis”, the last known magician in the history of Egypt. Harnovis witnessed the battle of Mordavia in 172 AD with the forces of Marcus Aurelius. When the Roman army began to suffer from a water shortage, the Egyptian magician Harnovis performed magic rituals that led to the fall of the rains, thus saving Marcus Aurelius’ army from perdition and proved the power of Egyptian magic.

Offerings constitute one of the main pillars of magic rituals, so we can say that AB magic is the ancient offering to the Nitro (divine entities) on time and in the right way. Through offerings, life energy can renew itself. And on top of all the sacrifices was the king offering the sacrifice of Maat (order and harmony) to the Lord of Maat (the Creator God)

Chaos was what the ancient Egyptians feared the most, and therefore great care was taken to establish order, and it was the king’s responsibility in the first place. Good intentions alone are insufficient to remove the forces of chaos and darkness and prevent them from interfering in the global system, corrupting it and threatening to collapse, or corrupting social order and threatening human civilization with collapse.

Therefore, magic science was the ancient Egyptian weapon to protect society and protect the entire cosmic system. Magic protects the sun boat in its astronomical orbit and helps it complete its journey in peace. It is what helps the souls of the dead obtain food in the other world, and it is what protects the system upon which the state is based and guarantees the return of the holidays celebrated by the Egyptian people.

Without the magical rituals that the priests set up in the temples (which are institutions sponsored by the state), the flood does not come on time, the fields are not irrigated on time, the fishermen do not find abundant hunting of animals and fish, and the industrialists cannot complete their work, and they cannot The temples do their part.

Magic is associated with order and light, which removes the factors of chaos, corruption, and decomposition and prevents all causes of corruption.

The science of magic does not know improvisation: –

The Egyptian books of magic were not merely imaginations or amateur juggles but rather were the product of scientific institutions established under the auspices of the state known as the House of Life Schools. The House of Life libraries constitute an important part of the royal archive that contains Egyptian cosmic sciences. And one of the most important goals of magic science in ancient Egypt is to protect the king from negative energies. French Egyptologist Jean Yoyotte describes Egyptian magic with these phrases:

*** That Egyptian magic is a science sponsored by the state, and the first thing that attracts attention when studying it is the homogeneity of magical practices and their distance from improvisation and randomness, and their reconciliation with the mind so that it can be studied like any science based on principles and rules that the mind can comprehend.

Our attention is also drawn to the tranquillity that surrounds the symbols of magic, which is a tranquillity that stems from the ancient Egyptian vision of the universe, which is based on the principle of pantheism ***

It is a mistake to view Egyptian magic as a personal practice. This is a very superficial view of the science of sacred magic.

And if there were personal magical practices that remained alive in the folklore, then these practices are only proof.

The deterioration of the science of magic over time and made it lose its original meaning.

Magic in ancient Egypt was a sacred science sponsored by the state, so every ritual of the temples is part of the magical practices. In other words, every religious ritual is originally a magical ritual.

Without “Sitka” (magic), a person cannot reach eternal life. When moving from the gates of death, magic texts give the deceased’s soul the courage and provide it with the knowledge it needs to overcome obstacles and go out into the day in peace. The magician roams the heavens, and when he passes the group of stars of Orion (Osir), he stands in front of it and addresses her, saying that he swallowed the life forces and that he filled his belly with the spirits of the eternal gods who participated in the creation of the universe and that he knows their names. Orion hears the magician’s call and knows that he has known the secret of the name of each of the powers and that he has not forgotten any of them, and then the magician is born again in the form of a star that shines with his light in the sky. This is the purpose of a magician and the ultimate goal of his journey in life: to turn into a star that lights the way for other people.

Magic and the first time: –

The magicians of ancient Egypt (who are all priests) affirm that the secrets of their sacred knowledge go back to eternity; For the beginning of the beginning. And this is not just a claim, but rather it is the basis of magic science, which is based on the idea of ​​returning to eternal models and to the world of elementary images around which creation myths revolve. The magician must remain in a state of permanent “connection/connection” with the architect and creator of the universe. Each of the rituals performed by the magician is the repetition of an act of creation. The magician, in his daily practices, repeats the events of creation.

The first is ritualized, and thus it comes to the first time (the time in which the events of the story of creation took place) and connects it to the present time, and thus connects our fleeting material world to the world of the eternal primary images, and returns our world once again to the pure image it was in in the beginning. The magician belongs to him for the first time (when the events of the creation of the universe took place). When studying magic, a person reaches that first spark, or the divine socket, from which the miracle of creation arose, and it is “heka”, the symbol of creation from the Divine Light. There is no room to talk about white magic and black magic among the ancient Egyptians. In ancient Egypt, there is only one magic: the sun’s magic, which carries for us the divine light from which the magician draws his knowledge and light. Other than that, he is his sorcery, deceptive tricks, and he sought strength.

Magic and the cosmic order: –

Magic in ancient Egypt was a knowledge of all the meanings of this word. We do not deny, of course, that magical practices witnessed throughout the ages the emergence of amateurs who used some simple magic codes in naive folk rituals. However, magic

In its true sense (as the priests of ancient Egypt knew it), it was a sacred and secret science, and the secrets of that science were only revealed to an elite group of scholars who could be compared to the atomic scientists in our modern era. The aim of the existence of magic science in the first place is to protect the cosmic system from factors Chaos and demolition. Egyptian magic has nothing to do with improvisation or deceptive tricks; rather, it is a science-based on following specific steps that the magician knows and knows how to control.

The existence of man is subject to the laws of cosmic equilibrium, and this equilibrium on which the existence of man depends is not safe from dangers.

There are always factors that threaten this equilibrium. These destructive factors are represented by evil spirits, zombies (dead bodies that can move and harm the living), and the evil eye, such as the eye of the envious. In short, every negative energy can destroy anything in front of it.

And the duty of a magician in the first place is to confront these destructive forces and negative energies and limit them and reduce their negative effects on human lives.

The magician must also prevent the forces of chaos from interfering in the decisive moments in a person’s life, such as the moment of birth, marriage, and death, the moment of the end of a year, and the beginning of a new year.

Magic: the gift of “Ra” to humanity: –

It was stated in one of the texts of Egyptian wisdom and called the teachings of “Mari Ka Ra” that Ra gave humans the knowledge of magic to be their weapon if something happened to them or if fate shot them with its arrows. There are predetermined fates that govern our lives, and from time to time, events surprise us with their sweetness and bitterness and make us feel that we are not in control of our destinies. The ancient Egyptians did not deny the dominance of destinies over our lives and that “what is written on the forehead must be seen by the eye,” but at the same time, they believed That man could escape from the arrows of fate by using science (or art) of magic. By practising the art of magic, we can overcome the worst of what is brought about by the amounts, whether at the individual or collective level (that is, the entire Egyptian people) and with the weapon of magic, we can turn arrows of fate and avoid traps and pits before falling into them.

Magic is scary

Magic appears to be a frightening thing only for those who are ignorant of that science. Scientists of the modern era look at the man of ancient civilizations with arrogance and stigmatize it as primitive because the human mind did not know any barriers between the materialist and the metaphysical. The ancient man stood before natural phenomena in awe and reverence because he saw them as the embodiment of metaphysical entities. This transcendent view that modern-day scholars view of the man of ancient civilizations has no justification. It is surprising that the same scholars who claim to possess the truth stand confused before the science of magic and do not know an explanation for the metaphysical phenomena that have puzzled the greatest and most intelligent minds.

And modern science is still searching for answers to existential questions that have puzzled the human mind since ancient times, such as the question about the beginning and the end of existence. The magicians of ancient Egypt were familiar with many of the universe’s secrets, and we can learn a lot from their wisdom. The divine power that extends Creatures with life energy is not above the level of the human mind, as some think, and it is not.

Far from his awareness. A person can perceive this divine power and relate directly to it because it resides within him, in the niche of his heart.

When the magician discovers this power and communicates with it, he will be fully aware that everything he does in this world has repercussions. In other words, as if no barriers are separating our physical world from the metaphysical worlds. Knowing the Lord of Magic (and it is called in ancient Egypt as “heka”) and communicating with him is what reveals to the magician the secret of secrets and makes him enter into the company of the “nitro” (of divine entities) and becomes with them. Upon death, the magician retains the magical powers that help him reach absolute truth and eternity, and help him to penetrate all limits, and to pass all obstacles until he reaches the end and the end, and moves to the heavenly/divine realm.

Scarab Heart: –

The scarab of the heart (which is a scarab placed over the heart of a mummy after its embalming) plays an important role in a person’s transition from this life to the next life. The scarab symbolizes the transformations that occur in human consciousness and that end with resurrection or spiritual birth. Through the scarab of the heart, the magician in ancient Egypt used to transmit to the deceased a part of the energy of “heka” (eternal magic / cosmic), which helps him to cross the darkest regions in the underworld, which are the areas where the souls of the dead are under attack from the forces of chaos and darkness that inhabit Those areas.

After the soul of the deceased travels in various regions of the Underworld, it finally reaches the shores of Fields or Iron. If the deceased was one of the revered (righteous) divine entities declare that he came with a healthy heart, the first step of this journey begins in this worldly life, where a person places in his heart the first seed of light that will illuminate his way in the other world. And the goal of magic science is to awaken the insight and spiritual awareness in man.

The intelligence of the heart (intuition): –

Magic is essential insight, and the centre of insight is the heart. And the intended heart here is not the physical organ that pumps blood.

In the body, but another heart. Man has another heart that remains after the death of the physical body, and this heart is the centre of consciousness.

The spiritual. The ancient Egyptian believed that one’s heart is a witness to it and that it is impossible to lie or deceive him. The intelligence of the heart imagines, thinks, and issues commands to nerves, muscles, and prey and enables the senses to function optimally. Everything stems from the heart and returns to it again. The heart sends and receives the emotions and impressions that return to it again to mix them all and extract knowledge from the information obtained from the outside world. In the “Memphis” doctrine of creation, Ptah began to create the universe when he estimated the will with his heart before uttering it with his tongue. . Every living being that has a heart is a socket from the heart of God who predestined the will in eternity.

In the niche of the heart, God dwells, and therefore we find that the heart is the one who bears witness to when he stands before the judges of the Maat on the Day of Judgment, and it is also his guide and guide in his worldly life. The magician’s success depends on the purity of his heart and the strength of his connection with God. The magician must nourish the heart’s intelligence because it is this intelligence that will enable him to discover what is hidden from the secrets of the universe.

Magic texts: –

The priests of ancient Egypt left for us thousands of texts dealing with magical rituals and practices. Egyptologists collected these sources under the heading “Religious-Magical Texts”. A quick reading of these texts shows us the ancient Egyptians’ goals to achieve from magical rituals, and we can summarize them in the following points. *** Blessing, health, and longevity for the living *** Providing the dead with food in the underworld *** Protecting the living from death With a live or scorpion sting

*** Helping the deceased to enter and exit the eastern gate of heaven (i.e., having the ability to circumnavigate

The universe). *** Helping the dead to know the inhabitants of the West (the nether world) from the ancestors and ancestors. From the above, it is clear that magical rituals in ancient Egypt had goals, some of which are earthly and the other spiritual (religious). The mixing between the world of the living and the world of the dead, between the world and the afterlife, and between the world of matter and the world of spirit is considered one of the most important features of Egyptian thought. No barriers were separating between the world of life and the afterlife in the view of the ancient Egyptians. Two sides of a coin

One, and one of them complements the other.

In one of the texts written on the walls of the tomb of “Btuziris”, the following phrases were stated: –

*** Take care not to deviate from the path of God, for whoever does that God will give him heart and contentment and bless him in his livelihood and his life, and enjoy the respect of the people of his town, and enjoy the vitality and youthfulness of his body so that his body becomes like the body of a pardon boy, and blesses him God is in his offspring, and he sees his children grow up in front of his eyes until they become nobles and honourable in their town, and his descendants follow him and follow in his footsteps, and his memory commemorates generation after generation … and when his life on earth ends, he goes to his cowardly after Nubis mummifies his body In the house of beauty (the house of embalming), carrying with him the bliss of heart that accompanies him in his next life, as it accompanied him in his worldly life ***

The eternal magic (Hakka): –

The ancient Egyptian believed in the existence of worlds other than our physical. And these words do not exist as isolated islands from one another. The world of the earth is not separate from the world of heaven, but rather there is spiritual energy emanating from the heavens that penetrate our physical world and permeates everything in it. The ancient Egyptians called this spiritual energy “heka.” Linguists do not know precisely the etymology of this word. Still, it is usually translated as “magic” or control of cosmic forces, meaning knowing how to deal with it and use it to organize life on Earth. If a person wants to become a magician, he must be aware of all the forces that regulate life in the physical world and learn to deal with them. But learning magic is not an easy thing.

One cannot learn magic on his own, but rather he has to receive that knowledge in specialized schools attached to temples. The ancient Egyptians called these schools the houses of life, and in them, the pupil received the knowledge of magic at the hands of specialized professors who did not allow the student to use this sacred science for his whims.

In the past, the wise men knew that there was one eternal truth, which is “magic”, or more precisely, “eternal/cosmic magic”, and it is the eternal cosmic energy that accomplished the great miracle; The miracle of “creating the universe.” There is no greater miracle than the miracle of creation, and this is the reason for the connection between the concept of magic and a miracle.

The ancient Egyptian believed in the idea of ​​a “living universe”, as nothing in the universe is devoid of life energy. Just thinking that there is something “inanimate” in the universe indicates blindness. Nothing is dead or inanimate in the universe. The entire universe is alive. Man, like other creatures, is the product of an interaction between several cosmic forces. Does a person submit to these forces and surrender to them, or do they try to understand and deal with them?

The fate of man depends on the answer to this question. He who obeys the laws without understanding becomes a slave, and he who seeks understanding becomes master of his destiny.
