A study of the remains of the native religious literature of ancient
Egypt which have come down to us has revealed the fact that the
belief in magic, that is to say, in the power of magical names, and
spells, and enchantments, and formulæ, and pictures, and figures,
and amulets, and in the performance of ceremonies accompanied by
the utterance of words of power, to produce supernatural results,
formed a large and important part of the Egyptian religion.
