When Jean-Francois Champollion rediscovered how to translate the
Egyptian hieroglyphs in the early nineteenth century he described
them as "....a complex system, a writing that is figurative,
symbolic, and phonetic all within the same text, a single sentence,
I would even say a single word." Since then, although his
discoveries have led to the translation of most of the ancient
Egyptian texts, the emphasis in modern scholarship is to regard the
hieroglyphs purely as sounds and to disregard or even deny their
symbolic meaning. This book explores how the hieroglyphs function
as a comprehensive system of magical symbolism, the medw neter or
Words of the Gods by which the sacred truths of the Inner worlds of
creation are conveyed to humanity. Their effect is 'magical'
because when we study them and ponder their meaning they cause
changes in our consciousness, enabling us to reach a deeper
understanding of ourselves, of our surroundings and of the
universal principles that lie behind all creation. They also
incidentally teach us a great deal about the magical beliefs and
practices of the ancient Egyptians and their perception of the
relationship between the earthly and spiritual worlds. Using many
examples and illustrations, this book demonstrates how the
hieroglyphs formed the basis of Egyptian magic and were the means
by which it was taught and practiced. It offers an entirely new
interpretation of Egyptian magic, and shows how the hieroglyphs can
be used as a magical tool that is as transformative today as it was
in ancient times.

At the center of this remarkable 1621 play is the story of
Elizabeth Sawyer, the titular "Witch of Edmonton," a woman who had
in fact been executed for the crime of witchcraft mere months
before the play's first performance. Yet hers is only one of
several plots that animate The Witch of Edmonton. Blending
sensational drama with domestic tragedy and comic farce, this
complex and multi-layered play by Dekker, Ford, and Rowley
emphasizes the mundane realities and interpersonal conflicts that
are so often at the heart of sensational occurrences. This edition
of their work offers a compelling and informative introduction,
thorough annotation, and a selection of contextual materials that
helps set the play in the context of the "witch-craze" of Jacobean
England.
