Egyptian Magic in Egyptian Magic by Florence Farr.

“This is to say the circling HAMMEMIT now throws off an emanation which is called the KA or double of the new-born child, and this forms its link with the earthly body by means of another principle, the AB.” [via]

Consider also:

  1. “The elemental body then having concentrated round the vitalized ovum, leaves the human mother in her natural state, stripped of the illusive beauty it had imparted to her: and she does not, or should not, regain her specially attractive power until she has done her part by the human being she is about to foster.”
  2. “It is clothed by a body or astral body, both before and after conception, possessed that power of radiation which formed the sphere of attraction round the human mother, which was sealed by the great Vulture-Mother-Force at the time of conception, and was withdrawn instantly to form the sphere or aura of the future human being—this is called the KHAIBT, or radiating aura.”
  3. “The whole human Ego then being in a state of theurgic excitation the BAIE (spirit) descended and the whole being became a luminous KHOU or Shining Body of super-human potency, the Augoeides of the Greek Mystics.”
  4. “Of course in thousands of cases the celestial body was restricted; the fatal moment of conception loaded the terrestrial being (composed of the SAHU, HATI, and AB within the KAB or material body) with chains of destiny too strong for him to break through.”
  5. “The KHAT, KAT, or Body, was only a vehicle or material basis for the operations of the Ego upon this plane of human earth-life.”
