Magic wax sculptures in ancient Egypt

Dr. "Sayed Karim" mentions in the book “The Mystery of the Ancient Egyptian Civilization” that magic was not limited to men only, but also worked by women, as some women had full knowledge of magic and contact with spirits and they had the title “temple fortune teller” such as "Millet, Anhari, Hunt Tawi and Roy", and some of them were queens. And princesses.

 

 

 

It was stated in the Harris Magical Papyrus and the Turin Judicial Papyrus that magicians used magic against King Ramses III, which was called the "Harem Plot", in which the witches were arrested and the waxy statues they found were confiscated, which were in the form of the king, but what is this magic that uses wax statues and what It is still in use to this day ?!!

 

 

 

This method is indeed still common today, where magicians make statues of wax or clay similar to those who wish to harm him, and the magician uses a little blood, clippers from his nails, a strand of hair, or a piece of cloth that holds this person's sweat to decorate this statue with it to be like him Just to start hurting this person.

For example, when a nail is hammered into a statue, the person becomes ill, and if the statue is near the fire, the fever strikes this person, and if the statue is stabbed with a knife, this person is injured, and perhaps a fatal injury.

 

 

 

Among the methods that were widespread in the beginnings of the Middle Kingdom was the so-called breaking of pots. A pottery shank was found in Thebes on this method, where one of the kings of the Eleventh Dynasty sought the help of one of the magicians to eliminate his enemies from those around him or outside the country. Their names and all personal information related to them on these pots and he broke them in order to destroy them.
