The Book of the Dead can serve the Living

The Book of the Dead can serve the Living

I first encountered the Egyptian rites within dreams when I was living in Dubai and words that actually represented these rites came into my dreams and then lingered during daytime. I started noting down all that was coming to my mind and then used them quite often in my blogging after I googled some of the words and realised that these were ancient Egyptian words, some of which were derived from the Egyptian Book of the Dead.

At the same time I was experimenting with these rites, I was also learning how to heal myself and others using the energy present in the Universe (I first started out with pranic healing in 2017 and then recently became a Reiki Master in 2024). I found out that some of the rites actually increased energy levels to incredible heights and some of the levels were not fully sustainable by our human bodies, most likely because they were meant to be directed towards our higher consciousness.

This past week, I decided to actually purchase the Book of the Dead in order to experiment with it until I could derive spells (those of you who have read all my blogs will know that I consider myself a white witch) that could harness levels of energy for healing that would be sustainable by the human body yet be linked with our higher consciousness. It seemed to me that fully comprehending the rites and re-forming them to make them apply to the living by adding some words or removing others would be a good basis for healing spells. I am at the beginning of this journey of discovery and will obviously only use myself as test subject.

After some initial trials, I realised that one good possibility to harness spiked energy levels would be to put myself as test subject under the protection of the Gods of Egypt (sit among the Gods) while at the same time working towards making my oversoul connect with my Earthen consciousness. I am still at the beginning of the book and it holds many secrets which I yearn to discover quickly but I know I will have to be patient as I must take care of my daily tasks such as my job and all the other things I do. My first trial at my ambitious task is reproduced in the below recording. As and when I combine different portions of rites from various parts of the book, I will publish the resulting recording.

Two to tie

Within is without

Seven flags

Fly about

Rings of fire scorch the trees

Penitent on knees

 

Dragon’s lair

His smell in the air

Wings that lift

Nightly drift

Black holes guide to inner stare

His world here not there

 

Concealed might

Whispers in the night

He gifts me

Second sight

The Northern Star guides me right

My frame in his light

 

Magic tricks

Bosoms split in six

Spells that fix

Feathers mix

Bring together what was torn

One eyed king is born

 

Awoken

I am unbroken

He grants me

Love token

Three times soft words are spoken

His heart in my care

 

Spring has come

Lost weight of winter

Suns rays play

With my eye

From him I will never shy

Eagle of my sky

Grant me strides

To edge of morrows

Taking sides

No option

In mind the heart’s adoption

A play of two rides

 

The moon spills

Honey of the thought

We forgot

In token

The chime of heart awoken

From remorseless spells

 

Delve in wells

Bathe in the red glow

Blaze to show

Under snow

Remember from the ember

Of seeds that we sow

Beyond Mind

Lies a grid’s patchwork

It pulsates

Dominates

The Energy laminates

Windmills of the old

 

Copper Gold

Alchemist whispers

The frame terse

Brittle verse

Spells of brethren to rehearse

From core of the flame

 

Within Soul

Flies precision work

Needle’s eye

Guides my sigh

Lulling fumes where I rely

On your sense of scent

She sleeps not

Slumber a migrant

Eyelids wane

Window pane

Glassy content of iris

Myriads of stories

 

Fragmented

Illusions of life

Power strife

Lost battles

Reminiscence of the spoils

Battlefield gargoyles

 

Self monsters

Darkness overcome

Or never

Mind clever

Constant crisscross of the word

Of puzzles unheard

 

Withered speech

The tongue bridge to breach

The outreach

A dark plunge

Like a drunken man will lunge

Into the bosom

 

Tales of ore

Constantly hammered

Crown jewels

Chest medal

In between a neck strangled

Studded star spangled

 

Throaty spells

Voicing world over

Sleep that dreams

Jolting bolt

The whiff of paraphilia

Waking Ophelia

Where Earth sprinkles Air

Unanswered questions

Float in tense expectations

I move in freefall

 

We seek not defeat

Our hands workers of new fates

Our minds connivance

 

Do you seek heartbeat

Or stillness of the silence

Obliterating

 

Float with me through clouds

They sizzle from the sun’s touch

When rains cast their spells

 

Throw yourself in flames

Lose yourself to find yourself

Unplanned are the games

 

Do you hear the drums

They beat tomorrow that comes

Flowing in the heart

 

Stillness is heartbeat

Motion in motionless thrives

Together apart

 

The path winds and dives

The diver divine dancer

Question is answer

 

The wind blows sparkles

The lark and nightingale pair

Where Earth sprinkles air

The Silent Tree

It bustles around

With keen promises of words

Hanging like dead fruit

Adrift the swaying leaves

 

The Silent Tree

It sheltered my frame

With a hundred drops of shade

Casting spells of dark

Amidst the scorching sun

 

The Silent Tree

I climbed its branches

Making merry of the ground

My hands tools of skies

Beyond reach of the mind

 

The Silent Tree

We had carved its bark

With tomorrows nevermore

Basking in todays

In fading centuries

 

The Silent Tree

We had cut its branches

When dying sun passed away

Snuffed out like candle

Within eye of the Storm

 

The Silent Tree

We both watched it fall

Its roots decaying  tunnels

Where the rats ran free

Through eras of regret

 

The Silent Tree

Its hushed memories

Shivered within my bosom

When the moon sang shrill

With voiceless agony

 

The Silent Tree

I shake off its leaves

From desperate clinging arms

That embraced me tight

Before I emerged free

Breaking through

Wandering

In thoughts that shiver

Cold of World

That darkens

She stitches another yarn

Pitch black before dawn

 

Other half

Like jigsaw puzzle

I pick up

My pieces

A mirror broken in skies

Where I see through lies

 

Our hearts roam

Through the bitterness

Salted tears

Like sea’s foam

Lapping at our waking frames

Humanity’s games

A blast wakes

I cry as it shakes

Illusion

Mind’s playground

Softly killing me he sighs

As the dreamtime dies

 

I know life

Like butter on toast

And lemon

Acid stings

Souls on life’s fire often roast

Soaring flames like wings

 

Working spells

From my hidden wells

I summon

Deadly rings

A ghostly place where he sings

Songs of Unity

This dream’s realm

A slave’s marathon

I conjure

Hammer’s might

Broken ties I take to flight

I am running free

 

The saviour

Lies but within me

He flutters

Gaping hole

My soul ushers in its twin

Finally we’re whole

 

Breaking through

It comes with a price

Nailed across

No haggling

I paid it now more than thrice

Trinity’s auction

Stitch them spells in souls

Written words will fly

Spreading dark ink within sky

To paper planes bound

Where do you now look

Your eyes cast upon you dark

Building you shadows

Darkness will build creed

Faceless and blind without Love

Fears will surround Heart
