Spell 30a 05:09
Spell for not letting N's heart create opposition against him in the realm of the dead O my heart which I had from my mother, O my heart which I had upon earth, do not rise up against me as a witness in the presence of the Lord of Things; do not speak against me concerning what I have done, do not bring up anything against me in the presence of the Great God, Lord of the West. Hail to you, my heart! Hail to you, my heart! Hail to you, my entrails! Hail to you, you gods who are at the head of those who wear the sidelock, who lean on their staffs! May you say what is good to Re, may you make me to flourish, may powers be bestowed when I go forth, having been interred among the great ones who long endure upon earth. Not dying in the West, but becoming a spirit in it.

Rubric for Spell 30A,B To be inscribed on a scarab made from nephrite, mounted in fine gold, with a ring of silver, and placed at the throat of the deceased. This spell was found in Hermopolis, under the feet of this god. It was written on a block of mineral of Upper Egypt in the writing of the god himself and was discovered in the time of the Majesty of the vindicated King of Upper and Lower Egypt Menkaure. It was the king's son Hordedef who found it while he was going around making an inspection of the temples.

Spell 38b 05:59
Spell for living by air in the realm of the dead I am the Double Lion, the first-born of Re, Atum of Chemmis; those who are in their booths (serve me), those who are in their holes guide me, there are made for me ways which encircle the Celestial Waters on the path of the Bark of Atum. I stand on the deck of the Bark of Re, I proclaim his words to the common folk and I repeat his words to these whose throats are constricted; I have judged my forefathers at eventide, I open my mouth, I eat life, I live in Busiris, and I live again after death like Re every day.

Spell 37 02:24
Spell for repelling two Songstress-snakes Hail to you, you two companions, sisters, Songstresses! I have divided you with my magic, for I am he who shines in the Night-bark, I am Horus, son of Isis, and I have come to see my father Osiris.
6.
Spell 34 03:27
Spell for not being bitten by a snake in the realm of the dead O cobra, I am the flame which shines on the brows of the Chaos-gods of the Standard of Years. Otherwise said: the Standard of Vegetation. Begone from me, for I am Mafdet.
7.
Spell 35 04:05
Spell for not being eaten by a snake in the realm of the dead 'O Shu,' says he of Busiris, and vice versa. Neith is wearing the head-cloth, Hathor makes Osiris glad, and who is he who will eat me? Depart, leave me, pass me by, you snake; it is the sam-plant which wards you off, this is the leek of Osiris which he asked for when he was buried. The clouded eyes of the Great One have fallen on you, and Maat will examine you for judgement.
8.
Spell 40 03:14
Spell for repelling him who swallowed an ass Get back, you Male whom Osiris detests, whose head Thoth has cut off! I have done everything in repect of you which was said about you in the Ennead in order to carry out your destruction. Get back, you whom Osiris in the Neshmet-bark detests when he sails southwards with a fair wind! Purify yourselves, all you gods, and fell with shouting the enemies of Osiris, Lord of the Thinite Nome. Get back, you swallower of an ass, whom Ha who is in the Netherworld detests! I know, I know, I know, I know! Where are you? I am ...

Spell 68 30:38
Spell for going out into the day 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.
