Do you believe in Egyptian magic? History claims they could do everything from exorcising demons, defeating enemies and had plenty of love spells?
In fact, such spells have been found in the Handbook of Ritual Power, a 20-page codex from the 8th-century which Malcolm Choat at Macquarie University and Iain Gardner at the University of Sydney have now decoded.
The researchers found 27 spells in the Coptic codex. The spells come from an era in Egypt in which many people were Christian and some of the spells actually reference Christ.

Do you believe Egyptian magic as represented in this codex has any power at all? Or do you even doubt the historical value of the document?
Fans of Egyptian wisdom are able to buy accessories at Etsy. Shops liek Timeslide sell polished agate amulets from 1800 BC while others like Phytognosis offer up Ancient isis incense blends. Pagan Scrapbook Supply is even offering digital downloads in the style of magic spell pages so you can build your own grimoire.

Candle magic is present in a number of religions and that is perhaps one reason why so many people know to make a wish after blowing out a candle. The core concepts of this form of spell casting are the ability to focus on a goal, the end results and then the ability to focus your intent or will to create that result.
Some forms of candle magic pay special attention to the colour of the candles. You may already know about the association some religions have with black candles or that some traditions allow for white candles to be swapped in for any other colour.
