Supplicant to Set:
Hail, Lord of Terror, Chief of the Lands of the South and
North, thou Lord of the Desert, who dost keep prepared the
block of slaughter, and who dost feed on the intestines
of men. Hail, Bull of Amentet! I am brought unto thee. I
am the paddle of Ra wherewith he transported the Aged Gods.
Let me neither be burnt up nor destroyed by fire.
Supplicant to Gathering:
My heart is with me, and it shall never come to pass that
it be carried away. I follow The Lord of Hearts, the slayer
of the heart-case. I live in darkness, I have my being therein.
I am .... I have life by my word, and my heart hath being.
My heart-case shall not be snatched away from me, it shall
not be wounded, it shall not be put in restraint if wounds
are inflicted upon me. If one takes possession of it, I
shall have my being in the body of my father Keb and in
the body of my mother Nut. I have not done that which is
held in abomination by my God. I shall not suffer defeat
for my word is truth.
Supplicant to Sire:
Hail, thou who dost wind bandages of Binding round Osiris,
and who hast seen Set. Hail, thou who returnest after smiting
and destroying thy enemies before the mighty ones! This
my heart weepeth over itself before Set. It weeps Tears
Of Vengeance it hath made supplication for me. I have given
unto him and I have dedicated unto him the thoughts of the
heart in the House of Set, have brought unto him sand at
the entry to Khemenu. Let not this my heart-case be carried
away from me. I make you to ascend his throne, to fetter
heart-cases for him in Sekhet-hetep, to live years of strength
away from things of all kinds which are abominations to
him, to carry off sustenance from among the things which
are thine, and which are in thy grasp through thy strength.
Sire to Gathering:
O thou who art motionless, O thou who art motionless, O
thou whose members are motionless, like unto those of Set.
Thy members shall not be motionless, they shall not rot,
they shall not crumble away, they shall not fall into decay.
My members shall be made permanent for me as if I were Set.
Blessed of set are we.
Set: My head was fastened
on my body in heaven, O Guardian of the Earth, by Ra. This
was granted to me on the day of my being established, when
I rose up out of a state of weakness upon my two feet. Upon
the day I tore my being from the mother’s womb On the
day of cutting off the hair the Company of the Gods fastened
my head to my neck, and it became firm. Let nothing happen
to shake it off again! I have tied together the Two Earths.
Nut hath fastened together the vertebrae of my neck, and
I behold them as the and they are seen in the order wherein
they were when as yet Maat was not seen, and when the gods
were not born in visible forms. I am Set. I am the heir
of the great gods.
Supplicant to All:
The road of souls is opened. My twin soul seeth the Great
God. The way is open to my soul and to my shadow. It seeth
the Great God in the shrine on the night of counting souls.
Those whose seats are invisible, who fetter Heart-souls
and Spirit-souls, who set a seal upon the dead, and who
would fetter me. They shall not bind me. The wardens of
the members of Osiris shall not hold me captive, though
they keep ward over souls, and set a seal on the shadow
which is dead they shall not bind me.
Sire to Supplicant:
That which was shut hath been opened to that which is the
dead. That which was shut fast hath been opened by the command
of Set. You have performed the journey, our members are
mighty and are sound.
Sire to All: Let darkness
cover your faces, O ye who would imprison Set. O keep not
captive our souls. O keep not ward over the shadows, but
let a way be opened for the soul and the shadow, and let
them see the Great God in the shrine on the night of the
counting of souls. Set keepith ward over our Spirit-souls
from those who would hold captive the shadows of the dead,
and who would work against him, so that they shall not work
harm against thee.
Sire to Supplicant:
A way shall be open for Ka with thee, and thy soul shall
be prepared by those who keep ward over the members of Set.
Khert-Neter shall not keep thee fast, the earth shall not
hold thee captive. Thou shalt not live with the beings who
slay, but thou shalt be master of thy legs, and thou shalt
advance to thy body straightway in the earth, and to those
who belong to the shrine of Set and guard his members.
Set to Supplicant: Perform thy work, O Seeker, perform
thy work, O Seeker, O thou who dwellest in thy circle, and
who dwellest at my feet I am he who sendeth forth darkness
over the Thigh of heaven. I come forth.. I sit down by the
Light-god . He becomes helpless. He would walk. He is
helpless. He is helpless in the regions of those who plunder
in Khert-Neter.
Supplicant to Set:
Perfect is the Eye of Horus when it adorns thy neck as your
trophy, O set. I have delivered the Eye of Horus which did
shineth with splendor on the brow of Ra, the Father of the
gods.
Set to All: Osiris
knoweth his day and Fears it. Knoweth that thee shall live
through his period of life. Thee shall have victory. I am
the bane God, the dweller among the gods. I shall not come
to an end. Stand up therefore, O Horus, for thou art counted
small among the gods. Fear this my new disciple.
Supplicant to Set:
Hail, thou mighty one of terror. Behold, I have come unto
thee. I see thee. I have forced a way through the Tuat.
I see my father Set, Conqueror of Osiris. I embrace the
darkness. I love him. I have come. I see my father Set.
He hath counted my heart. I have made offerings for my father
Set. I have opened all the ways in heaven and on earth.
I love him. I have come. I have become a Spirit-body and
a Spirit-soul, who is equipped. Hail, every Ka and every
Ba our blades shall lie bloodied on the block of slaughter.
Sire to All: The place
which is closed is opened, the place which is sealed is
unsealed. That which lieth down in the closed place is opened
by the Ba-soul which is in it. By Set you are delivered.
I seeth the Great God in the shrine on the day of counting
souls and he is victorious.
Set to All: Osiris
shall not hold thee captive, though he keepith ward over
souls, and sets a seal on the shadow which is dead. Heaven
shall not shut thee in Khert-Neter.
All to Set: Hail, thou
One, who cast Shadows over the moon. Hail, thou One, who
casts shadows over the moon. Grant that this offering may
come forth among thy multitudes who are at the portal. Let
him be with the Dark-God. Let the Tuat be opened to him.
Behold, your disciple shall come forth by night to perform
everything which you command upon the earth among those
who dwell thereon.
Set to All: I have
come forth from the horizon against my enemies I Have not
permitted them to escape me. I have traversed the earth
Have stretched out my hand to smite those who oppose me.
I have conquered the mighty Spirit-souls because I am equipped
for millions of years with words of power. I have not permitted
the enemy to be saved from me. As for mine enemy, he hath
been given to me, and he shall not be delivered from me.
I stand up like Horus. I sit down like Ptah. I am strong
like Thoth. I am mighty like Tem. I walk with my legs. I
speak with my mouth. I chase my enemy. He hath been given
unto me, and he shall not be delivered from me. Let these
things be given unto me in perpetuity without fail or diminution.
