Spell 68 Lyrics


The doors of the sky are opened for me, the doors of the earth are opened for me, the door-bolts of Geb are opened for me, the shutters of the sky-windows are thrown open for me. It is he who releases me, who binds his hand on me and thrusts his hand on to me on earth, the mouth of the Pelican is opened for me, the mouth of the Pelican is thrown open for me, the mouth of the Pelican is given to me, and I go out into the day to the place where I desire to be.

May I have power in my heart, may I have power in my heart, may I have power in my arms, may I have power in my legs, may I have power in my mouth, may I have power in all my members, may I have power over invocation-offerings, may I have power over water, may I have power over air, may I have power over the waters, may I have power over the streams, may I have power over riparian lands, may I have power over the men who would harm me, may I have power over the women who would harm me in the realm of the dead, may I have power over those who would give orders to harm me upon earth.

A GOD REPLIES: Surely it will be according to what you say to me. You shall live on the bread of Geb, and you shall not eat what you detest. You shall live on bread of white emmer and beer of red barley of Hapi in the pure place; you shall sit under the branches of the tree of Hathor who is pre-eminent in the wide solar disc when she travels to Heliopolis bearing the script of divine words, the book of Thoth. You shall have power in your heart, you shall have power in your heart, you shall have power in your mouth, you shall have power in your arms, you shall have power over water, you shall have power over the waters, you shall have power over the streams, you shall have power over the riparian lands, you shall have power over the men who would harm you, you shall have power over the women who would harm you in the realm of the dead, you shall have power over those who would give orders to harm you upon earth or in the realm of the dead. Raise yourself upon your left side, put yourself upon your right side, sit down and stand up, throw off your dust, may your tongue and your mouth be wise.

As for whoever knows this book, he shall go out into the day, he shall walk on earth among the living and he shall never suffer destruction. A matter a million times true.
