Spell for the head of mystery

Hail to you whose face is kindly, Lord of vision, one who is knit together for Ptah-Sokar and who is set on high for Anubis, to whom Shu has given the Supports, kindly face who is among the gods! Your right Eye is the Night-bark, your left Eye is the Day-bark, your eyebrows are the Ennead, your vertex is Anubis, the back of your head is Horus, your fingers are Thoth, your braided tress is Ptah-Sokar, and you are before N, who is happy with the Great God, whom he sees in you; lead him on fair roads that he may obstruct the confederacy of Seth for you, and make his enemies fall beneath him before the Great Ennead in the great Mansion of the Prince which is in Heliopolis. May you take a fair road into the presence of Horus, Lord of Patricians, O N.

Words spoken by Isis: I have come as your protection, O Osiris, with the north wind which issued from Atum. I have let your throat breathe, I have caused you to be a god, and I have placed your enemies under your sandals.

Words spoken by Nephthys: I have gone round about my brother Osiris N; I have come as your protection, and my protection will be about you for ever. Your call has been heard by Re, and vindication has been carried out for you, O son of Hathor, and your head will never be taken away. In peace! Arouse yourself!

Formula at the presentation of a lighted torch: O you who come to lasso, I will not let you lasso; O you who come to do harm, I will not let you do harm. I will harm you, I will lasso you, for I am N's protection.

The presentation of a djed-pillar amulet: O you who come seeking, reverse your steps; O you whose face is covered, I have illumined your covered place. I am he who stands behind the djed-pillar on the day when I should stand behind the djed-pillar, and I drive off the slayers, for I am N's protection.

Another presentation of a torch: I am he who drags the sand to stop up the hidden place, I drive off him who would oppose himself to the torch of the necropolis. I have fired the necropolis, I have confused the path, for I am N's protection.

Words spoken by Anubis who presides over the god's booth, who is upon his mountain, Lord of the Sacred Land: I have come that I may spread my protection over N.

Words spoken by the living soul of N: I give praise in the sky to Re when he goes to rest in the western horizon of the sky.

Words spoken by the living soul and worthy spirit of N to Osiris. What was to have been said has been omitted.

The presentation of a shabti. N says: O shabti, if I am summoned or counted of in the realm of the dead for any work, indeed obstacles are implanted there as a man at his duties, whether to make arable the fields, to flod the banks or to convey sand from West to East; 'Here am I,' you shall say.

Words spoken by Imsety: I am your son, O N. I have come that I may be your protection, and that I may make your house to flourish and endure, in accordance with the command of Ptah and in accordance with the commands of Re.

Words spoken by Hapy: I have come that I may be your protection, O N: I have knit together your head and your members, I have smitten your enemies beneath you, and I have given you your head for ever.

Words spoken by Duamutef: I am your beloved son Horus, O N. I have come that I may protect my father Osiris from him who would harm you, and I lead him under your feet.

Words spoken by Qebehsenuef: I am Qebehsenuef, and I have come that I may be your protection, O N. I join your bones together for you, I collect your members for you, I bring your heart to you, I set it in its place in your body for you, and I have caused your house to flourish after you.
