Warsaw Rise! / Do you remember when, / when the Nazis forced their rule on Poland...

Spell for opening the mouth of N / My mouth is opened by Ptah and what was on my mouth has been loosened by my local god. Thoth comes indeed, filled and equipped with magic, and the bonds of Seth which restricted my mouth have been loosened. Atum has warded them off and has cast away the restrictions of Seth. / My mouth is opened, my mouth is split open by Shu with that iron harpoon of his with which he split open the mouths of the gods. I am Sakhmet, and I sit beside Her who is in the great wind of the sky; I am Orion the Great who dwells with the Souls of Heliopolis....

Spell to cause to come into being a flame beneath the head of a spirit / Hail to you Lord of Might, tall of plumes, owner of the Wereret-crown, whose possession is the flail. You are lord of the phallus, strong when dawning, a light never ceasing to dawn. You are possessor of (different) forms, rich in hues, one who hides in the Sacred Eye until his birth. You are one powerful of bellow in the Ennead, a mighty runner, swift of steps. You are a powerful god who comes to the aid of one who asks for it, who saves the wretched from affliction. Come at my voice, I am the ihet-cow; your name is in my mouth and I shall utter it: Penhaqahager is your name, Iuriuiaqrsainqrbaty is your name, tail of the lion-ram is your name, Kharsati is your name: I adore your name. I am the ihet-cow, hear my voice today. You have set the flame underthe head of Re and he is in the divine Netherworld in Heliopolis. May you cause him to appear like one who is on earth: he is your soul, do not forget him. Come to the Osiris N. Cause to come into being a flame beneath his head for he is the soul of that corpse which rests in Helioolis, Atum is his name, Barkatitjawa is his name. Come, cause him to be like one in your following, for he is such a one as you. / Words to be spoken over a statuette of an ihet-cow made of fine gold and placed at the throat of the deceased; also a drawing of it on a new papyrus scroll placed under his head. A great quantity of flames will envelop him completely like one who is on earth. A very great protection which was made by the ihet-cow for her son Re when he set. His place will be enclosed by a blaze and he will be a god in the realm of the dead and will not be repulsed from any portal of the Netherworld in very truth. You shall say as you place this goddess at the throat of the deceased 'O you most hidden of hidden gods in heaven, regard the corpse of your son; keep him safe in the realm of the dead. This is a book of great secrecy - let no-one see it for that would be an abomination. But the one who knows it and keeps it hidden shall continue to exist. The name of this book is Mistress of the hidden temple.'...

Spell for going down to the Tribunal of Osiris / My soul has built an enclosed place in Busiris, and I am flourishing in Pe; I plough my fields in my own shape, and my dom-palm is that upon which Min is. / What I doubly detest, I will not eat; my detestation is faeces, and I will not eat it, I will not consume excrement, I will not approach it with my hands, I will not tread on it with my sandals, because my bread is of white emmer and my beer is of red barley. It is the Night-bark and the Day-bark which bring it to me, and I will eat beneath the branches, for I know the bearers of what is good. Then I will recite glorifications of the White Crown, and I will be raised aloft by the uraei. O you door-keepers of Him who pacified the Two Lands, bring me those who prepare offerings and let the branches be raised for me; may the sunshine open its arms to me, may the Ennead be silent when the sun-folk speak to me. May I guide the hearts of the gods, and may they protect me, may I be mighty among those who suspend themselves on high. As for any god or any goddess who shall oppose themselves to me, they shall be handed over to those who are in charge of the year, who live on hearts, while the preparation of senu-bread is before me; may Osiris eat it when going forth from the East, may it be allotted to those who are in the presence of the Sunshine-god who covers the sky among the greate ones who belong to it....

Spell for not dying again / I abhor the eastern land, I will not enter the place of destruction, none shall bring me offerings of what the gods detect, because I pass pure into the midst of the Milky Way, one to whom the Lord of All granted his power on that day when the Two Lands were united in the presence of the Lord of Things. / As for him who knows this spell, he will be a worthy spirit and he will not die again in the realm of the dead....

O you four baboons who sit in the bow of the Bark of Re, who raise up truth to the Lord of All, who judge poor and rich, who propitiate the gods with the breath of your mouths, who give god's-offerings to the gods and invocation-offerings to the spirits, who live on truth and gulp down truth, whose hearts have no lies, who detest falsehood: expel my evil, grip hold of my falsehood, and I will have no guilt in respect of you. Grant that I may open up the tomb, that I may enter into Rosetjau, and that I may pass by the secret portals of the West. There shall be given to me a shens-cake, a jug of beer and a persen-loaf, just like those spirits who go in and out in Rosetjau. / THE BABOONS REPLY: Come, so that we may expel your evil and grip hold of your falsehood so that the dread of you may be on earth, and dispel the evil which was on you on earth. Enter into Rosetjau, pass by the secret portals of the West, and there shall be given to you a shens-cake, a jug of beer, and a persen-loaf, and you shall go in and out at your desire, just like those favoured spirits who are summoned daily into the horizon....

Spell for a golden collar to be placed on the throat of the deceased / O my father, my brother, and my mother Isis, release me, look at me, for I am one of those who should be released when Geb sees them. / To be spoken over a golden collar with this spell inscribed on it; it is to be set on the throat of the deceased on the day of interment....

Another spell / To be said over (a figurine of) Mut having three heads: one being the head of Pakhet wearing plumes, a second being a human head wearing the Double Crown, the third being the head of a vulture wearing plumes. She also has a phallus, wings and the claws of a lion. Drawn in dried myrrh with fresh incense, repeated in ink upon a red bandage. A dwarf stands before her, another behind her, each facing her and wearing plumes. Each has a raised arm and two heads, one is the head of a falcon, the other a human head. / Wrap the breast therewith: he shall be a god among gods in the realm of the dead. He shall not be repulsed for ever. His flesh and bones shall be sound like one who does not die. He shall drink water from the river; land shall be given to him in the Field of Rushes; a star of the sky shall be given to him. He shall be preserved from the serpent, the hot-tempered one who is in the Netherworld. His soul shall not be imprisoned. The djeriu-bird shall rescue him from the one at his side and no maggot shall eat him....

Spell for leaving yesterday and coming into today, which he asks for himself and his members / My demise was granted yesterday, I have returned today, I have gone forth in my own shape; I am tousled, having issued from my imet-tree; I am dishevelled, having gone forth with my sceptre; I am Lord of the Wereret-crown, a third to Nehebkau; I am the Red One whose eye is protected. I died yesterday, I returned today, and a path has been made for me by the door-keeper of the great arena. I have gone out into the day against my enemy, and I have power over him; he has been given over to me and he will not be taken from me, for an end will be put to him under me in the tribunal, Osiris being in his shroud ... I am a possessor of blood on the day of coming into being, I am a possessor of knives and I will not be robbed; a path is prepared for me, I am the embalmer scribe of Her who is in date-wine, and there is brought to me what appertains to the great Red Crown. The great Red Crown has been given to me, and I go out into the day against yonder enemy of min so that I may fetch him, for I have power over him; he has been given over to me and he shall not be taken from me, for an end will be put to him under me in the tribunal. I will eat him in the Great Field upon the altar of Wadjet, for I have power over him as Sakhmet the Great. I am a possessor of being, to me belongs the shape of every god when they go round about ......

Spell for causing a man to turn about in order to see his house upon earth / I am the Lion who went out with a bow, I have shot and I have ... The Eye of Horus belongs to me, I have opened the Eye of Horus at this time, I have reached the river-bank. / Come in peace, O N....

Spell for preventing a man's decapitation in the realm of the dead / I am a Great One, the son of a Great One, I am a flame, the son of a flame, to whom was given his head after it had been cut off. The head of Osiris shall not be taken from him, and my head shall not be taken from me. I am knit together, just and young, for I indeed am Osiris, the Lord of Eternity....

Grinding through the rough earth / Ploughing on toward oblivion / Under the whip of the masters...

Two bit sniper / Kiss the viper / Lie in wait as you take the bait...

En la ribera del río Tormes fui criado / en un ambiente hostil sobreviví robando... / Mi pobre triste madre me entregó a un ciego...

Somewhere in time we were born, / And brought blood, lust, hatred and scorn, / You're sorry now you trusted me,...

Children gather round him, / Mystery surrounds him, / What terrible secret does he hide,...

Suppose I take a dollar bill and I crumple it in my hand / Won't it take such empathy to make you understand / That I am just a little boy?...

As I travel through the astral plains / I see the break ahead / As though the sky has burst in flames...

Spirits coming from the mind, / waking up my deepest horrors, / capture my thoughts, make me blind....

Hooded figures clouded skies / Fires burn within their eyes / Pentagram with Baphomet...

Same floor, same dance / Same fight, same quest / Just the ghosts are different...

To the dawning of the morn / Weathered, tattered and torn / Bringing forth decay...

I'm waiting for the rain now / To settle the dusty air / Clearing up my emotions...

So long I have been accepting what I've seen / Never really speaking my mind / Now the heat's leaking out...

I realize i missed a day / But i'm too wrecked to care anyway / I look around and see this face...

Look around do you see / So many things have changed / And you should know by now...

Genome of the secret being / Residing in the Shadow-half / Hidden words of creation...

Eyes of a stranger behold / Unreal yet home / Hagalaz -Hai...

In cold and dark December / As I walk into the rain / Sit beside the room...

When life does not make sense and you long for a friend / When you know that you're innocent but they take offense / Accused and forgotten, get blamed and you're terrified...
