Mixed Lecture/Discussion

Low intensity
An examination of who used magic in Egypt, with an emphasis on characters within literary genres and known professions. This includes the story of Khufu, the Nubian sorcerers, the use of Shabtis, and later stories, including Lucian and the inspiration for Fantasia. This also includes priests, healers, and professional magic users. What do we know about fictional and nonfictional magic users? How and why did they practice? What areas did they work in?
Required Texts
Readings come from several articles published in recent years. Selected literary texts, Bible verses, Lucian, and peripheral literature.
