The ancient Egyptians were firmly convinced of the importance of magic, which was both a source of supernatural wisdom and a means of affecting one's own fate. The gods themselves used it for creating the world, granting mankind magical powers as an aid to the struggle for existence. Magic formed a link between human beings, gods, and the dead. Magicians were the indispensable guardians of the god-given cosmic order, learned scholars who were always searching for the Magic Book of Thoth, which could explain the wonders of nature. Egyptian Magic, illustrated with wonderful and mysterious objects from European and Egyptian museum collections, describes how Egyptian sorcerers used their craft to protect the weakest members of society, to support the gods in their fight against evil, and to imbue the dead with immortality, and explores the arcane systems and traditions of the occult that governed this well-organized universe of ancient Egypt.
If you like truths about spaceships, Atlantis, secret vaults in a mysterious ancient pyramid, and the entire knowledge base from before Noah's flood, we can find answers from the man who lived in a magical time. Egypt started out as a monotheistic society and the country was run by King Thoth. His writings and beliefs give us great insight into a completely different society than the one you read about in other history books. The country was committed to the one creator and was filled with science and technology. This book investigates the truths hidden in the ancient work known as the Emerald Tablets and other corresponding works to answer very old questions.
The Spiritual, Occult and Historical significance of the "Emerald Tablets" is almost beyond belief of modern man. Written around 36,000 B.C. by Thoth, an Atlantean priest-king, this manuscript dates far back beyond reach of any Egyptian writings ever found. The author, Thoth, a Master-Teacher of the early Egyptians, put this treatise to writing in his native Atlantean language and Dr. Doreal, by use of his expertise as an Occultist and Master of time and space, was given the directive to retrieve these Tablets and translate them into English for the edification of modern man. The powerful and rhythmic verse of Thoth is wonderfully retained in Doreal's translation. Contained within the pages of Thoth's masterpiece of Spiritual and Occult Wisdom is the synthesis of the Ancient Wisdom Teachings, the guideline for initiates of all ages, revealing the Knowledge and Wisdom hitherto held secret, but now in this New Age, revealed to all Seekers on the Path of Light. Dr. M. Doreal, Ms.D., Psy.D., is the Spiritual; Teacher of a multitude of Seekers of Light, having founded a Metaphysical Church and College - The Brotherhood of the White Temple, Inc. He is the author of all of the Organization's writings and teachings, having been given permission for the Esoteric Wisdom to be remitted in a public forum by the Great White Lodge, the Elder Brothers of mankind who shape and form the Spiritual evolution of earth's inhabitants. The Brotherhood of the White Temple, Inc. is a correspondence school, accredited through the State of Colorado, and mails out to its world-wide membership weekly Lessons of Truth. Its four and one-half year College Course unveils the secrets of the Symbolism of all Mystery Schools, giving precisely and beautifully, the step by step progression all Seekers have searched for in their quest for Oneness with God, and for attainment of Cosmic Consciousness. "Read, Believe or not, but read, and the vibration found therein will awaken a response in your soul.' - Doreal

The Secret Wisdom of Thoth offers a unique semiotic approach to The Ancient Egyptian Book of Thoth. This ancient book of sacred wisdom is a dialogue between a spiritual master, perhaps the god Thoth himself, and a student. The text was originally written in Demotic and dates to the Graeco-Roman Period. In the dialogue the master teaches the student secret sacred knowledge using the metaphors and symbols associated with writing. In Ancient Egypt the sacred art of writing was kept hidden in the House of Life, a sanctum sanctorum within the temple scriptorium where the priests wrote their books. The Book of Thoth is maybe the most mystical text of Late Period Egyptian thought. It is therefore of importance to all those interested in Graeco-Roman Period intellectual history and the history of western esotericism. This semiotic approach to the Book of Thoth is especially interesting for students of the Hermetica, the texts written by the Egyptian sage Hermes Trismegistus. The goal of this book is to unlock the wisdom encrypted with metaphors and allegories hidden within this Ancient Egyptian composition.
If we were called upon to characterize the Egyptian religion in a few words, we should call it, both as a system and as a cult, an almost monarchical polytheism in a theocratic form. The Egyptian polytheism was not purely monarchical, for there were several divine monarchies; and only by the somewhat arbitrary doctrine that all the chief gods were in reality the same under different names, could the semblance of monarchy be maintained. But this religion was undoubtedly theocratic in the strictest sense of the word. The divinity himself reigned through his son, the absolute king, his incarnation and representative on earth. The priesthood of Amon, strengthened by its victory over the heretic, and by the measureless wealth which the munificence of successful conquerors poured into its lap, had attained the most tremendous power in the state; and when, after a long time, its members had reduced the king to weak tools in their hands, and succeeded at last in usurping the throne itself, the theocracy was altered in form only, but not in its essence. The place of the king highpriest was taken by the highpriest-king. But even this change was of short duration. Against another power no less favored by the kings of the new empire, the power of the army (composed for the greater part of hired foreign troops), the priestly princes proved unable to keep their ground. They had to leave the country, and in Ethiopia they founded a new sacerdotal kingdom. Still the rule of the kings, who sprang from this military revolution, was purely theocratic.

This commentary and guidebook is eye-opening... because it brings in the guidance of the Divine Feminine, represented by Seshat, Wife/Consort of Thoth in Egypt and even to these modern times.This is a more balanced union of Divine Masculine - united with the Divine Feminine - which is the NEW Construct of Evolution! Seshat was known as the "Fairy Godmother of Egypt" ... We could surely use a Fairy Godmother in these times!Seshat tells me that she was also with Thoth in Atlantean times. Her name was Elnor in that period, and she was the Leader of the Atlantean Women Warriors of Light!The Secret Key to The Emerald Tablets Is based on Emerald Tablet Three: The Key Of Wisdom.
