Funerary Prayers in honor of the recently deceased

The STM Priest says:   

(To the North):  “You are Pure.  You are Pure, the Osiris (N.)”

(To the South):  “You are Pure.  You are Pure, the Osiris (N.)”

(To the East): “You are Pure.  You are Pure, the Osiris (N.)”

(To the West): “You are Pure.  You are Pure, the Osiris (N.)”

The STM Priest sprinkles Holy and Pure Water from vases around the image of the deceased, and says:

“You are Pure, You are Purified; The Purifications of the God are your Purifications.”

“You have received your head and your bones have been brought unto you before the Earth God.”

The STM Priest says while offering Incense to the image of the deceased:

“You are Pure, you are Purified O Osiris (N.) forever.  Pure is the Seman Incense, Purified is the Incense that Opens your Mouth, that is pure before the Gods in the company of Horus, the Son of Osiris.  You are established before thy brothers in Heaven, the brothers of the Divine.  Your mouth is opened; it is the mouth of a sucking newborn calf on the day it was born anew.   You are pure, you are purified before the Gods and are justified in Ma’at.”

The STM Priest acquires a freshly cut leg of beef and offers it to the image of the deceased, and says:

“Hail Osiris (N.)! I have opened for you your mouth with the Leg, i.e. the Eye of Horus. 

“Hail Osiris (N.), your mouth has been made firm, and I have balanced for you your mouth comfortably for your teeth; I have opened for you your mouth.  I have opened for you your two eyes.   Hail Osiris (N.)! I have opened for you your mouth with the instrument of Anubis.  I have opened your mouth with the Leg of iron wherewith the mouths of the Gods are opened.  Horus opened the mouth of his father Osiris, just as I have opened the mouth of the deceased with the tools of the STM Priest.  Now the Osiris (N.) shall walk, shall talk, and his spirit body shall be with the House of the Great Elder Prince who dwells in Annu of Duat.  You are protected, and you shall never die (again).  You shall rise up as a King of the South and of the North; you are endowed with strength like all the Gods and their Kau.  And behold, this image of the Osiris (N.) is Shu, the Son of Atum, for as he shall live so you shall live.  Shu has provided you with all things, and offerings in Duat and Heaven.  Shu has exalted you to the height of Heaven.  Shu has made you into a wonder.  Shu has endowed you with strength.”

The STM Priest then offers incense on behalf of all the Gods and unto the Creator God on behalf of the Deceased, Osiris (N.).

“Hail all the Netjeru (NTRU)! Hail unto Osiris, the Prince of Eternity;

Hail unto Isis, the Protectress, the wife of Osiris;

Hail unto Nephthys, who is in front of the Boat of Ra;

Hail unto Ra, the Sun;

Hail unto Ma’at, unto Hathor, unto Neith and Selqet;

Hail unto the Great Company of the Gods;

Hail unto the Lesser Company of the Gods;

Hail unto all the Good (NFR) Gods, and the Great God;

Hail unto all the Good Goddesses, and the Great and Lesser Goddess;

Hail unto Anubis, Thoth, Horus, Osiris, Maati, and Seb;

Hail unto Hu, Sau, Khonsu, Amun, Mut, Ptah and Sakhmet;

Hail unto Nefertum and Bes; (etc.).” 

The following is the presentation of offerings to the deceased in Duat by the STM Priest.  The offerings are in the Eye of Horus (Wadjet), which is the same as the “Body of Christ” or Eucharist in Christian rituals: 

“Hail Osiris (N.)! The Eye of Horus has been presented unto you and the offerings which are there are hereby declared on your behalf:

Four vessels of pure water, four vessels of incense, four baskets of Cakes, four baskets of fresh Fruit, four baskets of fresh bread, four baskets of fresh vegetables, four baskets of fresh nuts, four baskets of ingredients, salt, sugar, and condiments; four baskets of fresh meat or fish; four vessels of honey; four vessels of wine; four vessels of beer; four vessels of Wine from the Northern Oasis; four vessels of Wine of the Southern Oasis; four vessels of Gold Dust from Nubia; four chests of clothing; four vessels of perfume and Eye paint; four chests of gold and precious gems (for Jewelry); four chests of tools (for work in the Kingdom of Osiris in Duat); four chests of Computers and Computer parts or accessories; A Home in Duat; and two chests of golden plates, silverware, tableware, and cloth napkins.”

The STM Priest then declares that the Osiris (N.) or image of the deceased is a Divine Being, and can be worshiped to preserve its power, can move about and have divine powers.
