h Hee Ho Goggle Gralley Fumble In Literature: • "Then the Queen said the magic words backward. She either said, 'Hee ho goggle gralley fumble,' or 'Nee se bari waggle teetum,' or was it 'Dee num fiddle giggle gargle?'" -- John Burningham, Cloudland (1999) Heep Facts: Heep is a word coined by Charles Dickens for his novel David Cop perfield. It refers to a grand deception. In Literature: • "'heep!' With this last repetition of the magic word that had kept him going at all, and in which he surpassed all his previous efforts, Mr. Micawber rushed out of the house; leaving us in a state of excitement, hope, and wonder, that reduced us to a condition little better than his own." -- Charles Dickens, David Copperfield (1850) Heka Meanings: • Isis, Goddess of Magic, Great Enchantress, One Whose Words Come to Pass Without Fail "As a God, Heka is said to be the first-made thing and it is because of Magic that all the Deities live. The ancient Egyptians conceived of magic as a living force, a primordial power, the energy of the universe. They believed it to be the essential energy that infuses and underlies all things, spiritual and physical. Magic connects everything and allows the levels of Being to interpenetrate and affect each other. Magic is required to ascend to the realm of the Deities, every ancient Egyptian's post mortum goal. By harmonizing with the thread of magic that is woven in all things, human beings can commune with the Deities, grow, have effect in the world, and be spiritually renewed. As Lady of Magic, Isis is the patroness, embodiment, and most-potent wielder of this sacred, living energy. By Her magic, Isis not only turns the stars in the heavens, but heals us, protects us, and can lift us up in spiritual communion with Her." -- M.

Isidora Forrest, New Worlds of Mind and Spirit (2001) • Magic, force of; a magical power that energizes the universe -- Brian P. Copenhaver, Hermetica (1992)
