Isis, Queen of Egyptian Magic: Her Book of Divination and Spells
Witchcraft New Age Occultism Paganism Divination Egyptian Mythology Magic Studies Goddess Worship
Search for “Isis goddess spells,” “Egyptian magic for beginners,” or “Bastet vs. Isis witchcraft,” and this 2003 hardcover keeps popping up—because it is still the most eye-catching, beginner-friendly guide to the Egyptian mysteries ever printed. Jonathan Dee distills 3,000 years of temple ritual into 160 lavishly illustrated pages: each spread pairs a concise historical note with a practical spell, divination, or invocation you can do tonight with nothing more than a candle, a bowl of water and the incantations provided. The oversized 240 mm format lets the full-color icons, hieroglyphs and altar layouts breathe, so the book doubles as an art piece you will leave on the coffee table long after you close the circle.
What makes this copy collector-worthy is condition: only faint edge marks on a handful of leaves, no underlining, no cracked hinges, original jacket unclipped and glossy. That matters, because the first printing was small and most copies were thumbed heavily by practitioners. Here the pages are still stiff enough to support candle-light reading, and the jacket art—Isis in winged solar form—removes cleanly for altar use if you choose.
Inside, you will find quick-reference correspondences (colors, crystals, moon phases), a festival calendar keyed to the modern Wheel of the Year, and step-by-step instructions for building an Isis altar that fits in a shoebox apartment. Teens and newcomers love the “no-tools” options; experienced witches mine the appendices for lesser-known Kemetic deity invocations and a unique tarot spread based on the decans of the Egyptian zodiac. Whether you are drawn to the mental-health angle of goddess archetype work, or you want historically grounded occultism without the Golden-Window dressing, this is the one handbook librarians and metaphysical shop owners still recommend first.
