Reindeer & Roses

Moon Glow ❀

I praise the Son of Nut, I worship His majesty, I exalt the Lord of Heaven. Adoration be to Sutekh, praise be to my master! O Powerful One, breath of my life, Lord of the Seven Stars who enfolds me! All hail, jubilation to you, the master of all! Heaven rests upon you hands; the earth is under your feet. What you command, takes place. May you bless me with life and strength and health. O Father, hear me!

“O Dark One, Thunderer. Chosen of Ra! Mysterious One who opens the mouths of the Netjeru with the metal that came forth from you. Strong One who destroys the serpent, thundering in heaven, the Feared One! O Sutekh, powerful of magic in driving away enemies.”

I revere you, Sutekh, Lord of Winds! O Defender of the Netjeru, throughout the sky and earth, in the South, the North, the West, the East, in each land, in each place where your powerful voice thunders forth! See what is in my heart, what is in my inmost; my heart is blameless, my inmost open, no evil is in my breast! I adore you, O Thunderer! O Dark One! Lord of unbridled forces, Strong Bull of erotic energy, most virile among the Ennead!

It is the Iron of the divine entities which comes forth from you. With it the mouths of the Netjeru were opened; with it the mouths of men are able to speak before the great Ennead.”

“Heaven makes merry, the earth is filled with life, Sutekh rejoices!’
