Another spell for making a spirit worthy on the birthday of Osiris and for making a soul to live for ever May the sky be opened, may the earth be opened, may the West be opened, may the East be opened, may the chapel of Lower Egypt be opened, may the chapel of Lower Egypt be opened, may the doors be opened, may the eastern portals be thrown open for Re when he ascends from the horizon. May the doors of the Night-bark be opened for him, may the portals of the Day-bark be thrown open for him, may he breathe Shu, may he create Tefnut, may those who are in the suite serve him, may they serve me like Re daily. I am a follower of Re, who receives his firmament; the god occupies his shrine, Horus having approached his lord, whose seats are secret, whose shrine is pure, messenger of the god to him whom he loved. I am one who takes hold of Maat, having presented her before him; I am he who knots the cord and lashes his shrine together. What I detest is storm, and there will be no heaping up of waters in my presence, I will not be turned back because of Re, I will not be driven off by whoever acts with his hands, I will not go into the Valley of Darkness, I will not enter into the Lake of Criminals, I will not be in the weakening of striking-power, I will not fall as plunder, I will go in among those who are taken before him, behind the slaughter-block of the shambles of Sopd. Hail to you, you squatting gods! The seclusion of the god is in the secrecy of the arms of Geb at dawn; who is he who will guide the Great One? He will number the children in his good time, while Thoth is in the secret places; he will make purity for Him who counts the myriads who are to be counted, who opens up the firmament and dispels all cloudiness. I have reached him in his place, I grasp the staff, I receive the head-cloth of Re, whose fair movements are great. Horus flames up around his eye, and his two Enneads are about his throne; if they remove the sore pain which he suffers, then I will remove the pain, that I may be made comfortable thereby. I will open up the horizon for Re, and I have built his ship 'She who proceeds happily'; the face of Thoth will be made bright for me, and I will worship Re, he will hearken to me, for he has implanted an obstacle on my behalf against my enemies. I will not be left boatless, I will not be turned back from the horizon, for I am Re. I will not be left boatless in the great crossing by Him whose face is on his knee and whose hand is bent down, because the name of Re is in my body, his dignity is in my mouth. So he has told me, and I hear his word. Praise to you, Re, Lord of the Horizion; hail to you for whom the sun-folk are pure, for whom the sky is controlled in the great moment when the hostile oarsmen pass by. See, I have come among those who make truth known, because I am far away in the West; I have broken up the storm of Apep, O Double Lion, as I promised you. See, I have come; O you who are before the Great Throne, hearken to me. I go down into your tribunal, I rescue Re from Apep every day, and there is no-one who can attack him, for those who are about him are awake. I lay hold of the writings, I receive offerings, I equip Thoth with what was made for him, I cause truth to circulate over the Great Bark, I go down vindicated into the tribunal, I establish the Chaos-gods, I lead the Entourage, I grant to them a voyage in utter joy, when the crew of Re goes round about following his beauty. Maat is exalted so that she may reach her lord, and praise is given to the Lord of All. I take the staff, I sweep the wky with it, and the sun-folk give me praise as to Him who stands and does not tire. I extol Re in what he has made, I dispel cloudiness, I see his beauty, I display the terror of him, I make his oarsmen firm when his Bark travels over the sky at dawn. I am the Great One within his Eye, who kneels at the head of the Great Bark of Khepri. I come into being and what I have said comes into being, I am this one who traverses the sky towards the West, and those who heap up the air stand up in joy; they have taken the bow-warp of Re from his crew, and Re traverses the sky happily in peace by my command; I will not be driven away, the firey breath of your power will not carry me off, the power of repulsion in your mouth will not go forth against me, I will not walk on the paths of pestilence, for to fall into it is the detestation of my soul; what I detest is the flood, and it shall not attack me. I go aboard your Bark, I occupy your seat, I receive my dignity, I control the paths of Re and the stars, I am he who drives off the Destructive One who comes at the flame of your Bark upon the great plateau. I know them by their names, and they will not attack your Bark, for I am in it, and I am he who prepares the offerings. To be said over a Bark of Re drawn in ochre on a clean place. When you have places a likeness of this spirit in front of it, you shall draw a Night-bark on its right side and a Day-bark on its left side. There shall be offered to them in their presence bread and beer and all good things on the birthday of Osiris. If this is done for him, his soul will live for ever and he will not die again.
