Summary

"The Egyptians held that all the gods possessed a mystical force called heka. They believed it could be employed to solve problems or to protect, as well as harm, people. The ancient Egyptians took magic quite seriously and looked at it as an integral component of both nature and their relationship with the gods"--, Provided by publisher
