The Book Of Gates : A Magical Translation

New enhanced edition of The Book of Gates - a Magical Translation second edition, is a rich and deep searching new translation and magical interpretation of a little-known New Kingdom Ancient Egyptian funerary text that contains a wealth of mystical and magical secrets. Of particular interest to magicians, occultists, Kemeticists and more, The Book of Gates has as much relevance for the living as much as the deceased, and its deeply enigmatic verses lead the reader on a harrowing yet inspirational journey through the Underworld. This second edition has been reformatted and presented in a more portable size both as a cloth bound hardback with dust sheet and high quality paper, and paperback with a beautiful duplex cover. It is one of the most profound and transformative magical texts to have survived from the ancient world, yet today it remains largely unknown. In 2016, adept magician and author Josephine McCarthy, along with Middle Egyptian translator Michael Sheppard, while analysing its texts discovered layer after layer of magical knowledge hidden away inside its complex narrative. The Book of Gates was sumptuously illustrated onto tomb walls and royal sarcophagi, and this visual feast has been lovingly reproduced in this edition, in colour and monochrome, by magical artist Stuart Littlejohn, where it is also joined by some of his original works. Translated from Middle Egyptian by Michael Sheppard, interpreted by Josephine McCarthy, and illustrated by Stuart Littlejohn, The Book of Gates offers the reader page after page of enigmatic puzzles, insights, and keys that reveal the timeless roots of alchemy, ritual, and magical vision. TaDehent Books is truly proud to present a book so steeped in mystery, magical meaning, and ancient wisdom. ???Josephine McCarthy is an adept magician, author, and the director of the Quareia Magical Training School.
