The objective of this dissertation is the analysis of the heka concept in the funerary texts of Pharaonic Egypt.Heka is the ancient Egyptian word for what we mean as magic, this same word may appear within funerary literature representing the divinity of magic.An analysis of the texts composed by magical formulas and mythical narratives used in Egyptian funerary contexts will be done.The purpose of the analysis is to identify the meaning of the Egyptian word in the context of the sources, understanding the semantic extension of the heka concept through its relationship with the cosmogonic myths.In this way, recognizing the term as a concept that assimilates personified attributes within the narratives.This study therefore intends to reach meaningful interpretations of these sources and contribute to the understanding of the symbolic and knowable elements of the mythical narratives and funerary texts of Ancient Egypt
