Are there any plans to publish this or somehow allow the public to read the translation?
I'm a fiction writer, and am working on a novel that includes ancient magiks. Authentic words and incantations would be very helpful!
Edit - Sorry, just saw that there is a book about it....does the book just talk about it, or does it have the translations in it?
Edit #2 - You can buy the book and it includes the entire translation. Unfortunately, this one costs $94.00 and I'm a poor aspiring writer that can't afford it.
Most of the magical spells are contained in the normal hieroglyphic writing or on the walls of the temples. And most of the books on spell-work are either completely in English not including the original hieroglyphs or transliterations (which really upsets me) or the information is subjective/hypotheticals. Though through my own studies I have found a few helpful books/articles to dissect from:
I am also still on the look out for better material, hopefully with the hymns/prayers and spells both in English and Ancient Egyptian. I probably have some more information on my flash drive on the topic and may edit in some more links if I find any more for you.
P.S.
"The Book of the Dead" contains a great many spells, by the way. Some of the contents were used by the Egyptian priests, for example "The 42 Negative Confessions", in fact the Kemetic religion uses the negative confessions in their own rituals which is very similar to the 10 Commandments or the 7 Deadly sins of Christian belief. There is also the "The 10 Virtues of Maat".
"The Opening of the Mouth" is another popular ritual, though I don't believe I have specifically looked up any articles on the original manuscript where it is detailed, so I'm limited on this one.
Hymns to Osiris, Aten, and Ra are very popular in ritual practice too. You can find these hymns all over the internet.
EDIT
Here's a "Coptic Spell Book" which I've been dying to buy for a while. It may have some newer information found in Egyptology.
