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.
