First published in 1967 by Brill, this long awaited reprint includes a new foreword by Egyptologist Anne Landborg, and an updated, extensive bibliography. A great feature of this new edition is a first time English translation of all the important French and German phrases and notes found in the original printing. The Egyptian god, Seth, was the lord of chaos, disorder, and warfare, and often was cast as the magical Trickster in the Egyptian pantheon as he embodied the creative element of violence and disorder within the ordered world. This influential text has often been referenced by Egyptologists, Sethians, and magickal practitioners alike, including Kenneth Grant and Michael Aquino.
