Spell 41

Spell for preventing the slaughter which is carried out in the realm of the dead O Atum, spiritualise me in the presence of the Double Lion, the Great God; may he open for me the portal of Geb, that I may do homage to the Great God who is in the realm of the dead; may you induct me into the presence of the Ennead who preside over the Westerners. O you door-keeper of the City of the Bee which is in the West, may I eat and live by air, may he who is safe and greate guide me to the Great Bark of Khepri, and may I speak to the evening crew; may I come and go, may I see who is there; I will raise him up, I will speak my words to him, when my throat is constricted. May I live, may I be saved after sleeping. O Bringer of offerings who open your mouth, confirm the writings for offerings, establish Maat on her throne for me; confirm the tablets, establish the goddesses in the presence of Osiris the Great God, the ruler of eternity, who reckons up his seasons, who listens to them on the islands, who raises his right arm when he commissions the great ones whom he sends into the great tribunal which is in the realm of the dead.
