The
Chapter Of Opening The Mouth Of The Osiris Ani
To be said:- The
god Ptah shall open my mouth, and the god of my town shall
unfasten the swathings, the swathings which are over my mouth.
Thereupon shall come Thoth, who is equipped with words of power
in great abundance, and shall untie the fetters, even the fetters
of the god Set which are over my mouth. And the god Tem shall
cast them back at those who would fetter me with them, and cast
them at him. Then shall the god Shu open my mouth, and make an
opening into my mouth with the same iron implement wherewith he
opened the mouth of the gods. I am the goddess Sekhmet, and I
take my seat upon the place by the side of Amt-ur the great wind
of heaven. I am the great Star-goddess Saah, who dwelleth among
the Souls of Anu. Now as concerning every spell, and every word
which shall be spoken against me, every god of the Divine Company
shall set himself in opposition thereto.
