Isle of Fire: Part Seven
Book of the Dead 42
A spell for withstanding the judgement of the dead each dawn,
the sunrise-red slaughter of the forces of darkness
which Ra enacts every morning as he rises from his Island of Fire in
the Eastern Sea.
This spell affords protection on the Island of Fire, because it is
recited in Neni-Nesew, city of Ra’s sacred tamarisk tree,
Neni-Nesew, where the solar eye once slew rebellious mankind,
where Horus once fought with Seth,
Neni-Nesew, which the Greeks call Herakleopolis, city of solar
victories!
This spell is being read by the deceased.
Land of Ra’s tamarisk, White Crown of Egypt’s cities, White Crown
on the statue of Ra, splendid as his standard carried in procession, city of
Neni-Nesew which means “Son of Upper Egypt’s King,” I am become
that Horus, that prince for whom the city is named.
O Yebew-Weret, guardian of the slaughter-site of Ra’s Day of
Judgement,
today you have said and said again: “The butcher-block of justice is
ready — you know what to expect.”
(line unintelligible)
I am Ra, ever honored, the ruler, the god who dwells in
Neni-Nesew’s sacred tamarisk. How much greater is Today than
Yesterday, how much greater is who I am than who I was!
Long live this day, long live Today!
