Some Other Examples of Horus Stele; And A Beautiful Prayer

underabloodredsky

The Metternich Stela:

"The message of the stela is much more than just a recitation of ritual spells to cure snake and other animal bites. In allegorical form, it depicts the way in which the forces of chaos and death (symbolized by the seven scorpions) could be defeated, by the principles embodied by three (another highly significant number) Egyptian gods Re-Harakhty, Isis and Thoth." -Phil Norfleet

"Translation of Metternich Stela incantation 10:

Hymn to Horus to transfigure him,
spoken on water or on land.
Words spoken by Thoth the nurturer of the god of Pe.
Hail god son of a god!
Hail heir son of an heir!
Hail bull son of a bull! born of the goddess
Hail Horus emerged from Osiris, born of Isis the goddess.
I have spoken with your name,
I have recited from your words of power,
I have spoken with your words of light,
I have conjured with your speech,
created by your heart.
It is your formulae which come from your mouth,
commanded for you by your father Geb
given to you by your mother Nut,
taught by your brother Khentykhem
to make your guard,
to repeat your protection,
to seal the mouth of every serpent of those in the sky, those on the land, those in the water,
to make people live,
to make the gods content,
to transfigure Ra in your glorifications.
Come to me quickly today
as you have made a boat sailing.
Repel for me every lion on the desert slope
every crocodile on the river,
every biting mouth in their cavern
Do it for me like the stone of the desert mountain, like the sherd edge in the street.
remove for me the posion of the bite which is in every limb of the patient,
so that your words are not rejected on account of it.
See, your name is called today.
May you create the raising of your renown, when you have lifted by your words of light.
May you cause the sufferer to live for me,
so that adoration is given to you by the populace.
The two goddesses Right are adored in your forms,
all gods are called in your likeness,
see, your name is called today.
I am Horus the saviours."

"Translation of Metternich Stela incantation 5:

O aged one, who rejuvenates himself in his time!
Elderly one, who achieves youthfulness!
Cause Thoth to come to me at my voice, that he may drive back for me the Backward-faced.
Osiris is on the water, the eye of Horus is with him, the great winged scarab is spread over him,
great in his grasp, creating gods as a child.
May the one on the water emerge intact.
If the one on the water is approached,
the weeping eye of Horus is approached.
Back, you who are in the water!
You enemy, dead male or female, adversary male or female, etc.
Do not raise your faces, you who are in the water, at the passing of Osiris by you.
Let him by to Djedet, with (your) mouths covered, your gullets blocked.
Back, rebel! Do not raise your faces against the one who is on the water.
It is Osiris.
Ra has boarded his ship to see the gods of Kheraha,
the lords of the underworld who stand to slay you.
If the Backward-faced comes against Osiris while he is on the water,
the eye of Horus is on him to capsize you, placed on your backs.
O you who are in the water, your mouths are sealed by Ra,
your gullets are blocked by Sekhmet,
your tongues are cut off by Thoth,
your eyes are blinded by Heka,
those four great gods who make the protection of Osiris,
they are the ones who make the protection of the one who is on the water,
all people, all animals who are on the water today - protection.
Those who are on the water - the protection of heaven, while Ra is within it,
protection of the great god at the fore of the robing-chamber,
is the protection of the one who is on the water.
A voice of great lament in the temple of Neit,
a loud voice in the Great Temple,
a great cry of mourning in the mouth of the cat.
Gods and goddesses say
'look, look at the abed-fish, it is born'.
I have turned back your advance, rebel!
I am Khnum lord of Herwer.
Beware of repeating your injury a second time
to that which you did in the presence of the Great Ennead.
Be repelled, turn back for me,
I am a god.
Hey, hey! I have said.
Can you not hear the sound of the great lament from the night,
on the shore of Nedyt,
the sound of the great cry of all gods and all goddesses,
a wailing over the violence that you inflicted, evil rebel?
See, Ra rages at the violence over it,
and commands your execution.
Back rebel - hey, hey!"
