Isle of Fire: Part Three
This describes the soul’s trip to the western horizon, home of Atum,
who is the setting sun.
“for my sins and wrongdoings are chased off, driven from me,”
This separation from sin is, so to speak, the cutting of the umbilical
so the deceased may be reborn.
“any crime of mine is taken away.”
This is the bathing of the newborn soul in the two sacred pools
outside the temple in Herakleopolis, where Ra himself dwells. This
occurs on the day when people make the great offering to Ra. The names
of the pools are Liquid Infinity and Ocean: the one purifies, the other
vindicates,
“I go a road I recognize,
“the one that leads to the island of the blessed dead.
“I travel to the horizon of existence, to the land of bright,
transfigured souls,
“I come through the holy portal.”
This is the route taken by Atum when he sets, finally leading back to
the Eastern Reeds where he re-arises each morning, the reborn sun.
