Review: Sacrosanct Knowledge for any Practitioner/Goes - This book is truly one of the most important books in all of Greco-Egyptian magic, relgion, alchemy, and theurgy books out there and not out there, I'm sure. Though some translations are debated, the book is immensely powerful insomuch that it illusrates, from an etic point of view, how some rituals and common rites (like the basic gathering of magical herbs and plants) were performed during the time of writing. You absolutely want this book.
Review: Fascinating magical texts - This collection of magical procedures from Graeco-Roman Egypt is powerful and fascinating. This is serious magic, and potentially dangerous; caution is advised to those who would work many of these operations. Shortly after my wife acquired the magical papyri, I studied the spells and formulae for a research project I was involved in. Strange things began to happen. A wine bottle containing sacred water to be used in an upcoming ceremony suddenly and spontaneously shattered. Now, my theory was that the setting sun had been shining on the enclosed bottle and caused it to explode, but I still felt an occult force at work, and immediately a name jumped into my mind: Typhon/Set. Then I noticed an invocation adressed to Set as the Typhonic being who "shatters all things", to be recited at sunrise and sunset. I found a hymn to Selene - beautiful, evocative, terrifying - that expressed perfectly the essence of the Gorgon which, that very night, was guarding my doorway under the majestic and severe light of the full moon. Magical symbols began appearing to my mind's eye, and I drew one to show my wife, who was reading the papyri at the time; when I gave her drawing, she showed me the page she was reading, and there was the very same symbol. Once again, a very powerful book, an excellent source for those researching the pagan occult arts, and not to be approached by the frivolous.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Greek Magical Papyri Has Similarities to 'The Mithras Liturgy'
*by C***A on August 5, 2017*

I originally purchased a different book for Planetary Invocations back in 2013, but I lost it traveling out of state. Since it's loss, I began printing the Greek Magical Planetary Rites from the internet websites that posted them free to the public, but I finally decided this year to purchase this book on Amazon instead of replacing my original Planetary Invocation book. The Greek Magical Papyri arrived a little later than I expected, but it was worth the wait. I haven't looked at every spell, but I recognized some of the material from 'The Mithras Liturgy' in respect with Mithras, whose various complex and unique names of divine light and divine fire were replaced in this Papyri to a lesser differentiated and aggregate collective name of 'Apollo' or 'Sol', and possibly to the angelic name of 'Michael'. I am, however, elated at owning it at last... I recommend its study along with 'The Papyrus of Ani' and the ' The Mithras Liturgy'. The three should be purchased together. I recommend purchasing The Mithras Liturgy edition that is paraphrased in Greek so that these divine names can be studied in its respective language.
