by Michele Story Akkerman at our 2020 Camp In
Come join our Camp-in with a video recorded workshop by Michele Akkerman on Ancient Egyptian Medicine and Magick. The Ancient Egyptian people were probably the first people in the world to have based their knowledge off of careful and astute observations, as well as trial and error. However, magick and medicine went hand-in-hand. These physicians were very much aware of the power of magick, and many a scientific mind were able to discern and observe practical clinical case studies and documented them extensively. This presentation will look at the healing practices of “heka” and how maintaining a healthy and holistic life was almost always given by a member of the priesthood, such as those of Sekhmet, goddess of healing, and Heka, the god of health and wellness.A little bit about the presenter:Michele AkkermanEducation level– MA in History, with emphasis on Early Modern Europe and mid-late 19th century U.S. .
