Lesson One: Ra on the Horizon - The Components of Ancient Egyptian Ritual - In Ancient Egyptian ritual practices every detail held immense symbolic significance. In this lesson we carefully examine the use of ceremonial gestures and stances with a special look at the Henu ritual which is also known as the "Recitations of the Glorifications." This is illustrated with photographs showing each gesture clearly. In addition the ritual use of precious stones and metals are eximined, as well as the esoteric meaning of colors and numbers as understood by the Ancient Egyptians. This lesson has been expanded with new information and greater correspondences then had previously been given. The lesson concludes with detailed instructions for a ritual that incorporates the many elements taught in the lesson.

Lesson Two: Myth as Magical Formula and Sacred Text - While myth was touched upon in the first course, here this is shown as a means of communication through their use as Magical Formula. New to the course this lesson discusses Otherworld Beings, including the Neteru, and the forms, symbols and images that these beings use to communicate with humans. These are expressed in the myths and sacred texts which this lesson clearly reveals. Included are in-depth discussions on the nature of Nun; the creation myths of Atum and Neith; the Ogdoad of Hermopolis; the hidden meaning found in the "Destruction of Humanity"; the myths surrounding Isis, Osiris and the Contending of Horus and Set; as well as Hathor's role in these; and a look at the esoteric meaning of the "Legend of the Cow Herder" and the "Braid of Hair of Hathor."

Lesson Three: Ancient Egyptian Talismanic Magic - Greatly expanded and fully illustrated, this lesson presents an in-depth examination of this important aspect of Egyptian magic. In practical magic there is a distinct difference between amulets and talismans. This lesson explains these differences, giving the five classifications assigned by Egyptologists. Yet the student is taken beyond a rudementary understanding of the esoteric use of many different amulets and talismans. Rather detailed instructions providing the keys to successful Talismanic Magic are carefully presented, including a rite drawn from ancient texts for the consecration of these sacred and important tools of Egyptian magic.

Lesson Four: Trance in Ancient Egyptian Ritual - The ability to enter into altered states at will was a vital part of the training of the Egyptian Priesthood. In this lesson we examine the use of trance in oracle, communication with the Akhu (Blessed Dead), and the Neteru themselves. A variety of techniques are discussed including the "theraputic dream" used in the temples, scrying in the flame of an oil lamp, meditative trance during advanced Daily Rite activities, as well as trance induction through chanting, dance and music. In addition this lesson presents the ritual use of the "False Door" also known as the "Door of the Sky" in order to project one's Ka.

Lesson Five: Vessels of Life - The Egyptian Spiritual Bodies - This lesson presents an extensive examination of the Ancient Egyptian teachings concernig the energies and "spiritual bodies" that we all possess. The Egyptian concepts of the ht, jrw, Khat, Swt/Khaibit - Shadow Self, Sha, Shat, Ka, Ba, Akh, Khu, and Sahu are all clearly explained. Filled with illusrtations and temple texts this lesson discusses the relationship between the Ka and Ba, as these merge to become an Akh - a "shinning one." The lesson also includes new material on the role of the heart in Egyptian magic. This includes the three "heart types" that the Egyptians felt all people can be catagorized under. The lesson finishes with techniques for discovering one's Ren - the hidden name of the student.

Lesson Six: The Living Body of the Neteru - The Statue, The Kar & The Opening of the Mouth Ceremony - In Egyptian ritual magic the statue of a Neter is consider to be the most potent talismanic object one can possess. In this lesson the student is taught how to care for the statue so that it may become a vehicle for the Ka of the Neter. Detailed instructions for the construction of the Naos, or Kar, which houses the statue are given. Perhaps most importantly though the complete ritual for awakening the statue is presented in this lesson. Known as "the Opening of the Mouth" ceremony this was considered one of the most fundamental and important rituals employed in Ancient Egyptian magic. In this lesson we present the complete ceremony as it was inteneded for drawing the Neteru into the sacred statue. This was done so that the statue would become the living embodiment of the Neter, thus becoming one of the magician's most powerful magical tools. The entire rite is carefully explained with simple to understand intstructions.

Lesson Seven: Magical Texts, Invocations, Spells, and the use of Anceint Egyptian Language in Ritual - In Ancient Egypt magic was widely used to resolve material matters. In this lesson we present a variety of magical texts, spells, invocations and rituals all of which are used for practical purposes. Home purification and protection, prosperity, love, health, the removal of obstacles and more are all addressed. In addition the creation of a magical link used to influence another person is explained. This lesson also discusses the use of the Ancient Egyptian language in ritual today. Used in the form of "words of power" and as Magical Formula Ancient Egyptian can be a highly effective means for calling upon the Gods and Goddesses of Egypt. Several examples of Egyptian texts are given with English translations, all intended to be used in ritual.

Lesson Eight: Invoking the Neteru - The Wenwet Daily Rite - With this lesson we present the complete daily rite as it was performed by the Priesthood of Ancient Egypt; giving complete ritual texts for each step of the ceremony including the complex procedures involved with drawing the Neter's Ka into the sacred statue.

Lesson Nine: The Spiritual Dimension of Time - Neheh, Djet, the Planets & Stars - This is a new addition to the course. The Egyptians saw time in very different terms than we do today. For them it was a highly spiritual process compossed of two different, yet complimentary aspects: Neheh and Djet. No understanding of Anceint Egyptian religion or magical practice can be fully acheived without grasping this important occult teaching. The lesson goes into detail discussing these concepts and how they relate differently between the male Gods and female Goddesses. While the males Gods appear to be subject to the cyclic pattern of time as it repeats itself, the ancient texts show that the female Goddesses are beyond time as we normaly think of it. The lesson clearly discusses each aspect of this teaching. The second half of the lesson presents an in-depth examination of the role of the planets and stars in Egyptian magic. A complete list of the thirty-six decan Star Neteru is given along with a ritual employing their protective qualities. In addition the lesson discusses the subject of Astrology as it relates to the Egyptians, particularly the late period priesthood.

Lesson Ten: Natural Tides & the Timing of Ritual - This is new a lesson to the course and has not been published in any of our books or other related material. The Egyptian Priesthood were deeply aware of the natural flow of energies as they were expressed in the cycles of the seasons, the lunar months as well as the rising and setting of the Sun and stars. In this lesson we examine the timing of rituals to conicide with the Egyptian seasons of Akhet, Peret and Shomu. From there the significance of each Egyptian lunar month is examined. Yet, for the Egyptians the hourly cycle of the Sun was extremely important. The lesson discusses the meaning and ritual application for each hour of the day and night. The lesson finishes with a look at the significance of the salutations performed three times a day by the Priesthood to the Sun.

Lesson Eleven: Wep Renpet & the Mysteries of Isis and Osiris - Two Rituals Vital to the Egyptian Tradition - Wep-Renpet,the Ancient Egyptian New Year, was and is one of the most sacred festivals celebrated. This is the primary festival in which the energy of the Sun God and Stellar Goddess combine so that they may be ritually drawn into the sacred statues of the temples. This lesson gives a working version of this rite as drawn from ancient texts. The Mysteries of Isis and Osiris have always been considered to be one of the most beautiful, sacred and complex ceremonies of Ancient Egypt. This is the ceremonial enactment of the resurrection of Ausir (Osiris) and the impregnation of Aset (Isis). It has long been seen as a vital part of the Egyptian spiritual tradition. Described in detail in the roof top shrines of the temple of Dendera, we present a working version translated into clear language.

Lesson Twelve: An Invocation of the Goddess Hwt-Hrw - This lesson presents important information that the school has not shared ever before. One of the most important and difficult rituals to perform, the physical invocation into oneself by an Egyptian Neter can be one of the most moving and spiritually compelling experiences that one can achieve. This lesson gives detailed instructions on the different methods employed in these rites including the Devotional, Dramatic and Ceremonial methods. A complete ceremonial ritual invocation drawn from actual ancient texts is given in clear and easy to follow steps for the safe and effective means of calling the Goddess into oneself. The lesson then concludes with an addendum that discusses the mysterious references in Ancient Egyptian texts to the process of "Swallowing the Seven Uraei."

Lesson Thirteen: The Wenwet - The Priesthood of the Temples - In Ancient Egypt each temple had a complex system of priests and priestesses, each of which was vital to the functioning of the temple rituals. This lesson examines these roles in detail. Also, new to this lesson is material not published previously. In this lesson we examine the controversial theory that the Egyptian priesthood practiced initiation rites. The evidence for this is presented, along with the deeper meaning of initiation, the esoteric ingredients that make up an initiatory system and the effects a true initiation has on the ritualist. Lastly the lesson discusses the concept of "Divine Kingship" and how this relates to the contemporary movement of reconstruction of the Egyptian mysteries. With this an examination of the priesthood councils found within the temples of Egypt is presented.
