Are you real @Cobie

I want to start with the text because its got some interesting things in it. The main text is based on Spell 91 Book of the Dead - and this spell has a rubric (text written in red to amplify the meaning) which goes as follows: "As for him who knows this spell, he shall become an equipped spirit in the realm of the dead, he shall not be restrained at any gate of the West whether coming or going. A true matter." An equipped spirit means a spirit (akh) who has everything they need to exist. They can do anything they choose, can come and go in perfect freedom and have no limits on their action. This is the goal of Egyptian mysticism and is sometimes called akhification. It is an eternal, immortal yet spiritualised state. It derives from the Pyramid Texts which were written in 2350 BC about 1700 years before this Stele! Showing the amazing cultural integrity of Ancient Egypt. If you want to know more about the Pyramid Texts I would recommend this video by Justin Sledge of the Esoterica channel:

I was going to go through the text and interpret it. Also talk about what the pics mean. I'm very slow these days ... getting old.

The picture shows at the top the body of the sky goddess Nut which forms an arc over the whole scene. Below this Bedhety (a form of Horus as the winged disk) who is called Lord of the Sky. Ankh-f-n-Khonshu dressed as a Sem priest making offerings to the seated god Ra-Horakhty, behind whom is the symbol for the West. Between the the offering table containing bread, beer, meat and fowl. Below this is the main text. The main text is a version fo Spell 91 from the Book of the Dead. [B1–B5] Main text: [B1] Words spoken by the Osiris (i.e., the deceased), God's Servant of Montu, Lord of Waset, Opener of the Door-leaves of Heaven in the Most Select of Places (i.e., Karnak), Ankh-ef-en-Khonsu, [B2] True of Voice: "O Exalted-one! may he be praised, Great of Manifestations, the great Ba whom [B3] the gods fear, and who appears on his great throne, make the path of the Ba, the Akh, and the Shadow, for I am equipped so that (I) might shine therein [B4] (as) an equipped-one. Make for me the path to the place in which Re, Atum, Khepri,[11] and Hathor are therein." The Osiris, God's Servant of Montu, Lord of Waset, [B5] Ankh-ef-en-Khonsu, <True of> Voice, son of the like titled Ba-sa-en-Mut, borne of the Chantress of Amun-Re, Lady of the House, Ta-nesh<et>.[12] On the back is a version of Spell 30b from the Book of the Dead: [C1] Words spoken by the Osiris (i.e., the deceased), God's Servant of Montu, Lord of Waset, Ankh-ef-en- [C2] Khonsu, True of Voice: "(O) my heart of my mother [2 times], (O) my heart while I existed [C3] upon earth, do not stand against me as a witness, do not oppose me in [C4] in the tribunal, do not be hostile against me in the presence of the Great God, Lord of the West. [C5] Although I have united (myself) to the land (i.e. died) to the great western side of Heaven, may I flourish upon earth!" [C6] Words spoken by the Osiris, the Stolist[13] of Waset, Ankh-ef-en-Khonsu, True of Voice: O (you who are) Unique [C7], who shines like the moon, the Osiris, Ankh-ef- [C8] en-Khonsu, goes forth from your multitudes, [C9] (O) deliverer of those who are within the sun-light, open for him [C10] the Netherworld, indeed, the Osiris, Ankh-ef-en-Khonsu who goes forth in [C11] day in order to do everything all that pleased him upon earth among the living-ones."

Hi and welcome.

Thread locked. I'm sorry but we no longer allow political subjects to be discussed here.

Wait wot penis molds? Moldy penises ? Goodness me.

I feel overwhelmed by your enthusiasm.

there’s lots to unpack in this - might start a thread on it - what do you think?

Whats this thing about fat women?

He seems to have used Wallis Budge translations of names which are now non-standard. For instance Ra hoor Khuit would be Re - Horakhty etc. But I guess as you say he was reinterpretiing it into his own system (as with Hadit which is not an Egyptian term) - but all good with that. My old teacher (who actually met Crowley once) said he knew what he was doing (with a caveat that he indulged himself a little playing games with people). I had a look at the Stele of Revealing and its a nice find from the Late period and the owner of the stele was a Sem priest - so a magician basically. So nice. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stele_of_Ankh-ef-en-Khonsu#/media/File:Stelae_of_Ankh-af-na-khonsu.jpg

We could discuss this in depth if you wish but perhaps in another thread? The Egyptians were very keen in alliteration and puns. In this they saw both a kind of poetic expression but also resonances in meaning. So in the phrase the repeat of the ‘kheper’ root and sound indicates a kind of continuity between the three ‘levels’. Khepera is the sun as a scarab beetle. The morning sun. The morning recapitulates the creation of the universe itself. Kheper means ‘to be, become, evolve’ and kheperw refers to the things created ( like the ten thousand things of Daoism). What is implied is that the creator, the act of creation and the resulting creations all reflect each other as they all partake in a continuum of energy/awareness.

Their translation is ok metaphysically speaking. I don’t know about books on Egyptian magic because I am self taught from source texts but I’ll have a think about it. What particularly are you interested in?

Khepera kheper kheperw (Xepera xeper xeperu) The creator creates the creatures.
