The Cleopatra Tales 12: Adoration of Osiris

19-20 January 2024

Reading of the Egyptian text:

Great God within Abydos, 

King of eternity, 

Lord of everlasting, 

traversing millions of years in the duration of his life. 

Eldest son of the womb of Nut. 

Engendered by Seb the chief, 

Lord of the Ureret crown, 

loft of the white crown, Prince of Gods and men,

He hath received the crook and flail and the dignity of His fathers. 

Mighty is he exceedingly and great in terror is His name that of Osiris 

He endureth forever and everlasting in His name of Un Nefer. 



Homage to thee,

King of Kings, 

Lord of Lords, 

Prince of Princes. 

Possesser of the earth from the womb of Nut. 

He hath ruled all lands and Aukert. 

Golden of limbs. 

Blue of head. 

Emerald upon both of his sides. 

An of millions of years, 

extended of body, 

Beautiful of face in TaSert. 

My heart of my coming into being. 

May there not be resistance to me in judgement. 



May they not make thy separation from me in the presence of the possessor of the scales.

Thou are my soul within my body which formeth and strengthened my limbs. 

Mayest thou come forth to the place of happiness, I advance there. 

May not make my name to stink. 

Who make men and women to be in stability, Pleasant it is for us

pleasant it is to hear gladness of heart at the weighing of words 

Verily how great will be thou rising up in triumph. I have come and I have destroyed the defects for Osiris 



I am building His standard which cometh forth from the crown. 

I have eased the pain of Osiris 

I have made to balance His standard, I have made the way I become strong, coming into being according to what He hath said, turning back thy face,

I make the way, I pass over it. 

I make the purification of Osiris

Make thou for me ways all prosperous before me.
