The ancient Egyptian Sesh Per Ankh (literally “scribe of the house of life”, including ancient Egyptian magicians and doctors) kept their most important items in a magician’s box.
The box was both an easy way to transport magickal paraphernalia and a way to keep the items out of sight of commoners.
Items typically found in ancient Egyptian (Kemetic) included papyrus scrolls, writing tools, wands, dolls (or poppets), modelling clay or wax, herbs, stones, statues, amulets, beads, utensils and tools, candles, incense, and pipe.
The box was usually made of wood. High quality wood was scarce in ancient Egypt (KMT). A magician’s box was decorated with symbols of magic. The most common picture was of a deity associated with magic. Examples included Anpu (Anubis), Het Heret (Hathor), Aset (Isis), Hekate, Selket, Asar (Osiris), Amon-Ra, Nebt Het (Nephthys), or Nwt (Nuit). Hieroglyphs (medu neter) of power also were written on the outside of a magician’s box.
In modern times, believers can keep their
