Mogg Morgan
General Introduction to Egyptian Magick.
Mogg Morgan has spent many years studying and participating in the cult of the
`Hidden God', an entity known by various names depending where in the world you
look. In Egypt he is known in the outer as Seth, some of whose inner secrets
have been steadily revealed by or to author in various books and lectures such
as Tankhem: meditations of Seth magick or (as Katon Shual) Sexual Magick. But

ancient magical material of the so-called `primitve path' survives in later
magical lore?
