The Chapter Of Being Transformed Into The Prince Of
The Tchatchau Chiefs
The Osiris Nu, whose word is truth, saith:- I am the god Tem, the maker of the sky, the
creator of the things which are, who cometh forth from the earth, who made the seed of man
to come into being, the Lord of things, who fashioned the gods, the Great God, who created
himself, the Lord of Life, who made to flourish the Two Companies of the Gods. Homage to
you, O ye divine Lords of things, ye holy beings, whose seats are veiled! Homage to you, O
ye Lords of Eternity, whose forms are concealed, whose sanctuaries are mysteries, whose
places of abode are not known! Homage to you, O ye gods, who dwell in the Tenait (Circle
of Light)! Homage to you, O ye gods of the Circle of the country of the Cataracts! Homage to
you, O ye gods who dwell in Amentet! Homage to you, O ye gods who dwell within Nut!
Grant ye to me that I may come before you, I am pure, I am like a god. I am endowed with a
Spirit-soul. I am strong. I am endowed with a Heart-soul. I bring unto you incense, and spice,
and natron. I have done away with the chidings of your mouths. I have come, I have done
away the evil which was in your hearts, and I have removed the offences which appertained to
you [against me]. I bring to you deeds of well-doing, and I present before you truth. I know
you. I know your names. I know your forms which are not known. I come into being among
you. My coming is like unto that god who eateth men, and who feedeth upon the gods. I am
strong before you even like that god who is exalted upon his pedestal, unto whom the gods
come with rejoicing, and the goddesses make supplication when they see me. I have come
unto you. I have ascended my throne like your Two Daughters. I have taken my seat in the
horizon. I receive my offerings of propitiation upon my altars. I drink my fill of seth wine every
evening. I come to those who are making rejoicings, and the gods who live in the horizon
ascribe unto me praises, as the divine Spirit-body, the Lord of mortals. I am exalted like that
holy god who dwelleth in the Great House. The gods rejoice greatly when they see my
beautiful appearances from the body of the goddess Nut, and when the goddess Nut bringeth
me forth.
