📚 WHAT THE BOOK IS ABOUT

Mogg Morgan excavates the esoteric legacy of Naqada, the ancient necropolis discovered by Flinders Petrie in 1895. This site, identified by scholars as the capital of Egypt's earliest state and the Greek Ombos, serves as the spiritual stronghold of Seth. While mainstream archaeology dismissed the site's deeper significance, this volume reveals the hidden rituals and theocratic structures of the 'Hidden God.' Morgan reconnects the physical ruins with their vibrant magical history, offering practitioners a rare glimpse into the pre-dynastic forces that once shaped Egyptian consciousness.

Fun Fact
Morgan succeeds in breathing life into Petrie's cold findings, framing them as a living magical tradition rather than dead history. It is essential for Sethian practitioners and alternative historians. However, strict academic Egyptologists may find the interpretations too speculative and lacking in rigorous citation. This book sits firmly in the realm of living occultism, bridging the gap between field archaeology and ritual practice.

📝 Description: The Bull of Ombos: Seth & Egyptian Magick Vol II

Naqada is a sleepy little town in Upper Egypt, that gives its name to a crucial period in the prehistory of Egypt. In 1895, William Matthew Flinders Petrie, the 'father' of Egyptian archaeology, stumbled upon a necropolis, belonging to a very ancient city of several thousand inhabitants. With Petrie's usual luck, he'd made yet another archaeological find of seismic proportions - not just an ancient city a quarter the size of Ur in Mesopotamia, a rare enough find, but the capital of the earliest state established in Egypt! Petrie's fateful walk through the desert led him to a lost city, known to the Greeks as Ombos, the Citadel of Seth. Seth, the Hidden God, once ruled in this ancient place before it was abandoned to the sands of the desert. All this forbidden knowledge was quickly reburied in academic libraries, where its stunning magical secrets had lain, largely unrevealed, for more than a century - until now.

Occult literature desk
Morgan’s work is a compelling excavation of esoteric history, successfully merging archaeological findings with occult interpretation. It appeals strongly to those fascinated by the Sethian tradition and the spiritual weight of Ombos. However, readers seeking straightforward historical accounts or purely academic analyses may find the magical assertions presumptuous. It is not suited for skeptics who require empirical evidence over spiritual insight, nor for those uninterested in the darker, more chaotic aspects of Egyptian deities. The text demands a willingness to engage with pre-dynastic forces on an intuitive level. While it lacks conventional scholarly rigor, its value lies in its ability to revive the vibrant magical history of the 'Hidden God.' It is a niche but potent resource for dedicated practitioners willing to look past academic dismissal to find deeper spiritual truths.

A treasure

Added this to my reference shelf. The historical context alone makes it worth the price. It connects ideas I'd only seen treated separately elsewhere. Glad I finally picked this up.

Worth the read

Needed this for my research. It pairs well with more modern commentaries on the same tradition. My only quibble is the cover feels thinner than expected. Still worth having on the shelf.

Needed this for my research. Not a light read, but far more accessible than I feared. It connects ideas I'd only seen treated separately elsewhere. Will be gifting a copy to a friend.

Almost perfect

First purchase from this shop. Solid binding, decent paper — holds up to heavy use. Some chapters demand a slow, careful read, and that's exactly the point. I'd have loved an index, but that's on the original text. Solid, if not essential.

❓ Frequently asked questions

No, it is an esoteric study. It uses archaeological findings to explore the spiritual and magical dimensions of the site, not just its physical artifacts.
Seth represents the chaotic, transformative force necessary for spiritual growth. This text argues that his cult in Ombos held keys to power that were suppressed by later orthodox religious structures.

📜 Historical context

Following Petrie's 1895 discovery, the site of Naqada (Ombos) was largely interpreted through a materialist lens. Traditional Egyptology focused on its chronological placement, ignoring the theological implications of its dedication to Seth. This work challenges the academic consensus, arguing that the site was a center for a distinct, powerful magical current that preceded the unification of the two lands.
