The Falcon and Female Cat in Egyptian Magic and The Petese Stories

Abstract

A recently published spell concerning the prevention of miscarriages, where a falcon and a female cat are invoked against Seth/Apophis, provides a clue to the understanding of an episode in The Petese Stories, where the same two animals are summoned through magic and directed against an enemy who soon surrenders to avoid destruction.
