lyrics

Spell for building a mansion on earth

Geb is joyful when I hasten over him on his body, and men, the children of their fathers, give me praise when they see that Seshat brings the Destructive One.

Anubis has summoned me to build a mansion which is on earth, its foundation-plan is in Heliopolis, its circuit is in Kheraha, he who is pre-eminent in Letopolis is the scribe responsible for making new what belongs to it; men bring to it bowls of water, and the gangs (work at it). Thus said Osiris to the gods who are in his suite: 'Let us go and see the building of this mansion of this equipped spirit who today has come newly among you. Grant that he may be respected and give him the praise due to him who is favoured there, and you will see what I have done and spoken.'

Thus said Osiris to this god: 'Today he has come newly among you; it is Osiris who brings him herds, it is the south wind which brings him barley, it is the north wind which brings him emmer which the earth has ripened.'

The utterance of Osiris has announced me, he who was destroyed has turned himself over from upon his left side and has set himself upon his right side. Men, gods, spirits and the dead have seen, they spend their time in praise, and I am favoured thereby.
