DEMONTHINGS - ANCIENT EGYPTIAN DEMONOLOGY PROJECT
‘Magical Spells on Protective Cobra Figurines’ seminar by Kasia Szpakowska
This discussion will focus on preliminary interpretations of religious texts inscribed on clay cobra figurines found near the temple of Osiris at Abydos. The brief inscriptions are written in cursive hieroglyphs down the body of the snake. Whether they constitute a sort of identifying label for the figurines, an abbreviated magical spell, or a recitation for apotropaic rituals is yet to be determined. This is still a work-in-progress so discussions and feedback will be most welcome in preparation for publication.

‘Learning is Not Just For Life, But For Death’ lecture by Felicitas Weber
The “Book of the Dead” was the most common guide through the Netherworld for the ancient Egyptians, from the New Kingdom through the Roman Period. This talk will not only introduce this complex corpus of spells and vignettes, but will also show some distinguished peculiar examples of individual religionless.
