In the ancient world, if you needed a love charm, wanted to contact your dead wife, or needed the ability to fly like a bird, the magicians of Egypt were the ones who could make it happen. In Ancient Egyptian Magic, Christina Riggs explores how the Egyptians thought about magic, who performed it and why, and also helps readers understand why we've come to think of ancient Egypt in such a mystical way.

Readers will learn how to cure scorpion bites, discover why you might want to break the legs off your stuffed hippopotamus toy, and uncover whether mummies really can come back to life. Readers can also learn how to save a fortune on pregnancy tests--urinating on barley grains will answer that question-- as well as how to use the next street parade to predict the future or ensure that an annoying neighbor gets his comeuppance.

Was magic harmless fun, heartfelt hope, or something darker? Featuring demons, dream interpreters, the Book of the Dead, and illustrations from tomb paintings and papyrus scrolls, Riggs breathes new life into ancient magic and uses early texts and images to illuminate the distinctions between magic, religion, and medicine.

Love this! The hardware includes heavy duty anchors, so this will allow objects that has some weight. The shelves can be arranged any way you like.

Very happy
Color: White, Size: 15.7", Color: White, Size: 15.7"
Easy to install, material could have been a little high quality but for the price I’m not complaining, the shelves themselves are very light weight and seem pretty durable but time will tell

Great corner unit - love the hole for wires!
Color: White-2pack
Perfect little shelf for our room! We wanted a small little shelf in the corner that could hold a charger and that hole cut out made it perfect for our needs! I really liked the style of it and the little bar around the front. Sometimes cups or something get put on it and this stops them from falling! These shelves feel super sturdy and took me 2 minutes to install!
