Making the Transformation into the Lotus
The Osiris Ani,
whose word is truth, saith: I am the holy lotus that
cometh forth from the light which belongeth to the
nostrils of Ra, and which belongeth to the head of
Hathor. I have made my way, and I seek after him, that is
to say, Horus. I am the pure lotus that cometh forth from
the field [of Ra].
Papyrus
Naville, op. cit., I, Bl. XCIII:
Chapter of making the transformation into a lotus. The
Osiris, the lady of of the house, Aui, whose word is
truth, in peace, saith: Hail, thou Lotus, thou type of
the god Nefer-Temu! I am the man who knoweth your names.
I know your names among the gods, the lords of
Khert-Neter. I am one among you. Grant ye that I may see
the gods who are the Guides of the Tuat. Grant ye to me a
seat in Khert-Neter, near the Lords of Amentet. Assign to
me a habitation in the land of Tchesert. Receive ye me in
the presence of the Lords of Eternity. Let my soul come
forth in whatsoever place it pleaseth. Let it not be
rejected in the presence of the Great Company of the
Gods.
