Spell 137a 24:10
lyrics
Spell for four torches for the ceremonies which are carried out for a spirit. You shall make four basins of clay beaten up with incense and filled with milk of a white cow; the torches are to be quenched in them The torch comes to your ka, O Osiris, Foremost of the Westerners, and the torch comes to your ka, O N. There comes he who promises the night after the day; there comes the two sisters of Re; there comes she who was manifested in Abydos, for I cause it to come, even that Eye of Horus which was foretold before you, O Osiris, Foremost of the Westerners. It is safe in your outer chamber, having appeared on your brow, for it was foretold before you, O N, and it is safe on your brow. The Eye of Horus is your protection, O Osiris, Foremost of the Westerners; it spreads its protection over you, it fells all your enemies for you, and your enemies have indeed fallen to you. The Eye of Horus is your protection, O N, it spreads its protection over you, it fells all your enemies for you, and your enemies have indeed fallen to you. To your ka, O Osiris, Foremost of the Westerners! The Eye of Horus is your protection; it spreads its protection over you, it fells all your enemies for you, and your enemies have indeed fallen to you. To your ka, O N! The Eye of Horus is your protection; it spreads its protection over you, it fells all your enemies for you, and your enemies have indeed fallen to you. The Eye of Horus comes intact and shining like Re in the horizon; it covers up the powers of Seth who would possess it, for it is he who would fetch it for himself, and it is hot against him when he is at the feet of the intact Eye of Horus. Eat the food of yout body, possessing it, and worship it. May the four torches go in to your ka, O Osiris, Foremost of the Westerners; may the four torches go in to your ka, O N. O you Children of Horus, Imsety, Hapy, Duamutef, Qebehsenuef, as you spread your protection over your father Osiris, Foremost of the Westerners, so spread your protection over N as when you removed the impediment from Osiris, Foremost of the Westerners, so that he might live with the gods and drive Seth from him; as when at dawn Horus became strong that he himself might protect his father Osiris when wrong was done to your father when you drove Seth off. To your ka, Osiris, Foremost of the Westerners! The Eye of Horus is your protector which spreads its protection over you; it fells all your enemies for you, and your enemies have indeed fallen to you. Remove the impediment from N that he may live with the gods; smite the enemies of N and protect N. At dawn may Horus become strong that he may protect N when wrong is done to N, and may you drive Seth off. To your ka, N! The Eye of Horus is your protector, it fells all your enemies for you and your enemies have indeed fallen to you. Osiris, Foremost of the Westerners, is he who causes a torch to be bright for the potent souls in Heracleopolis; may you make the living soul of N strong with his torch, so that he may not be repelled nor driven off from the portals of the West. Then there will be brought in to him his bread, beer and clothing among the posessors of offerings; you will send up thanks for power, for N will be restored to his true shape, his true god-like form. To be spoken over four torches of red linen smeared with the best quality Libyan oil in the hands of four men on whose arms are inscribed the names of the Children of Horus. They are to be lighted in broad daylight, in order to give this spirit power over the Imperishable Stars. As for him for whom this spell is recited, he will never perish, his soul shall live for ever, and this torch shall strengthen his spirit like Osiris, Foremost of the Westerners. A matter a million times true. Beware greatly lest you do this before anyone except yourself, with your father or your son, because it is a great secret of the West, a secret image of the Netherworld, since the gods, spirits and dead see it as the shape of the Foremost of the Westerners. He will be mighty like this god, and you shall cause this spell of these four torches to be recited for him every day, so that his image shall be made to arrive at every gate of these seven gates of Osiris. It means being a god and spirits for ever and ever, and entering into the secret portals without his being turned away from Osiris. As for him for whom this is done, he shall go in and out without being turned away; he shall not be arrested or left out on the Day of Judgement when he who is destable to Osiris will suffer. A true matter. You shall recite this writing when this spirit is pure, made worthy and cleansed and when his mouth is opened with a wand of iron. This text was copied when it was found in writing by the king's son Hordedef, being what he found in a secret chest written in the god's own hand in the temple of Wenut, Mistress of Wenut, when he was travelling upstream inspecting the temples in the fields and mounds of the gods. What is done is a secret of the Netherworld, a secret image in the realm of the dead.

Spell 33 04:13
lyrics
Spell for driving off a snake O Rerek-snake, take yourself off, for Geb protects me; get up for you have eaten a mouse, which Re detests, and you have chewed the bones of a putrid cat.

Spell 55 03:02
lyrics
Spell for giving breath in the realm of the dead I am the jackal or jackals, I am Shu who draws the air into the presence of the sunshine to the limits of the sky, to the limits of the earth, to the limits of the plume of the nebeh-bird, and air is given to those youths who open my mouth so that I may see with my eyes.

SPELL 33 and SPELL 55 were both originally recorded for the very first Volume - these new versions have been entirely re-recorded but are essentially the same pieces - like a cover version of songs I wrote late last century.

THE BANISHING OF THE REREK-SNAKE is a new piece built around a small section of SPELL 33, but is all new.

SPELL 137a is entirely new, but elements of it are related to SPELL 137b (recorded and released in 2014), for conceptual continuity purposes - the two pieces are, after all, related.
