 The hieroglyphic text from Amenirdis I's famous alabaster statue is below:

 

"This is an offering for the Theban Amen-Ra, of Apet, to the God Montu-Ra, the Lord of Thebes.


May He grant everything that is good and pure, by which the divine (nature) lives, all that the Heaven bestows and the earth brings forth

 

 

 

SUN GOD HYMN RISE IN PEACE

 

Rise O great God in Peace! Rise, you are in peace.

You are risen, you are in peace, rise beautifully in peace, wake, God of this city, to life!

The gods have arisen to honor your soul, O holy winged disc who rises from his mother Nut!

It is you who break your prison of clay to spread on the earth thy powdered gold, you who rise in the east, then sink in the west and sleep in your temple each day.

 

Your eyes cast flame! Your eyes illuminate the night! Your brows wake in beauty, O  radiant visage which knows not anger!

 

 

 

 

Hymn  by Mathilde Blind

 

Where at night the ancient heavens bend above the ancient earth,
With the young-eyed Stars enkindled fresh as at their hour of birth;

Where old Egypt's desert, stretching leagues on leagues of level land,
Gleams with threads of channelled waters, green with palms on either hand;

On and on, along old Nilus, seeking still an ampler light,
O'er its monumental mountains, Birds of Passage take their flight.

Where the sacred Isle of Philæ, twinned within the sacred stream,
Floats, like some rapt Opium-eater's labyrinthine lotus dream,

        The Palms stood motionless as Pyramids
        Against the golden halo of the sky;
        Interminable crops of wheat and rye

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 Closing  Rite

By Rev. Michael Poe. 1969

 

By the grace of the great teacher and magician Tehuiti

And by Sekhmet, who guards the truth.

 

We have trodden a ramp to the heart of the living goddess Isis,

Our body is the holy temple, our mind is the priest, and our soul the ba.

 

I close the temple with humble thanks and gratitude.

 

 

 

Turi  en  het

 

I purify this temple.

 

 

 

 

 

Isis

 

She lives in the endless murmuring of the sea or streams;

gleams and sparkles in the sheen of stones;

laughs or whispers in the rustlings of leaves and dwells in the glow of sunlit things or the soft, silent shadows of the night;

She is night and Her children are the stars;

She is Twilight-the Opening Between Worlds-and quiet becomings and growth in the secret recesses of the earth;

She lives in love, laughter, wonderment and delight in women and men and can be found in anything that helps bring one to see Her realm and sway-existence-as a "beautiful festival of heaven and earth;"

She dwells in the sky as the silver sheen of the Four-Fold Moon and its pale, quiet light;

She is the spiny coolness of the air and the refreshing caresses of soft winds;

She is the stark, gaunt majesty of mountains and the green softness of hills;

She dwells in the wellsprings of the self where one goes to draw nourishment and strength for one's being;

She lives in the sustaining and nourishing qualities of what one drinks, eats, or breathes,

offering and giving of Herself to preserve one alive;

She is the sustainer of souls and the spirit of quiet, relentless sureness of self;

She is the Mistress of Mysteries and a lamp in the darkness to all who would seek Her and learn of Her ways;

She can be as cold as ice and yet burn like fire as She seeks to help bring all to wholeness, completion, and transfiguration.

She is the Womb of Time and Being and all dwells in and as part of Her.

`Formally,' She is the August Dweller at the Threshold,

Mistress of the Luminous Darkness,

Mistress of the Fields of Heaven,

Lady of Words of Power, Swift Huntress of the Soul,

Throne of Being, The Splendid Light Who Veilest in Brilliancy, Dweller in Stillness,

Lady Who Opens the Year, Lady of Abundance,

Lady of the Fields, Lady of the West,

 Lady of the Mysterious Peace, Creatress of Green Things,

Queen of the Great House, Lady of Wild Things,

Lady of the Dawn, Mother of the Golden Hara Who Answered for His Father,

Wife of Asar of Millions of Years,

Healeress of Broken Dreams,

Protectress of Anpu,

Lady of Silver, Lady of the Endless Quiet Light,

Opener of Life, Lady of Silence,

Beloved in All Lands, Divine One, Only One,

Greatest of the Goddesses and Gods,

Greatest of the Dwellers in Nun, Female Ra, Female Horus, Eye of Ra, Crow of Ra- Hara,

Lady of the New Year, Maker of Sunrise,

Lady of Heaven, Light-Giver of Heaven,

Lady of the North Wind; Queen of the Earth,

Most Mighty One, Queen of the North and the South,

Lady of Warmth and Fire, Benefactress of the Other World

Lady of Life, Lady of the Green Crops, Lady of Bread, Lady of Beer,

Lady of Joy and Goodness, Lady of Love,

Maker of Kings, Daughter of Geb, Daughter of Neb-er-Tcher,

Child of Nut, Wife of Ra, Wife of the Lord of the Abyss,

Wife of the Lord of the Inundation, Giver of Life,

Goddess of Fields and Lands, Goddess of the Harvest,

Mistress of Silence, Great Lady of the Other Worlds,

Hidden Goddess, The Power of the Nile,

Fertility Through Waters, Goddess of the Gods' Food,

Transformer of Bodies into Bodies of Light, and Producer and Giver of Life.

She dwells in the depths and heights of every being.

If you call to and from them, She will answer you.

If you prepare a place within your heart for Her to dwell, She will dwell there.

If you live so as to help bring yourself, others, and other beings and things to the expression of your and their own perfection, you will be dwelling in Her heart and She will be living within you.

So will all the other Goddesses and Gods.
