English: Detail from demotic papyrus (Rijksmuseum van Oudheden, Leiden, AMS 75 vel 1, see [1]).

The Greek Magical Papyri is a collection of ancient writings forming into a grimoire, which is a book based on the practice of magical rituals. These writings combine Greco-Roman ideas with western esotericism and Egyptian mythology. The picture seen here shows the Egyptian god Set in the papyrus having the Coptic spelling of his name written on his chest.
