| Evening Prayer to Isis Hail Isis, glorious Goddess, Day is done and the night is come, the sun is set and the stars emerge. This is the Evening Rite, the rite to end the day of light. Let your instrument sound hailing You with all homage, Isis, glorious Goddess.
To the candlewick the fire I raise on the altar set to You, Isis, glorious Goddess, And the nightime incense rises, sweetly mixed, to put me in the mind of perceiving You, Isis, glorious Goddess
Who rises behind me like a flame of gold and brushes my back with deft wings. I make open the nape of my neck to You. Let Your portal welcome You, O Isis, Great and glorious Goddess. Up my hands rise and hold the curved bow of exaltation, And rise once more to the sharp angle of invocation.
Come, oh great and glorious Goddess, Come in the fullness of force and love, let Your garment for a moment clothe You, O Isis, Goddess great and glorious.
Father Osiris "Rise up my father, great king so that you may sit in front of them. The cavern of the broad sky is opened to you so that you may stride in the sunshine. Stand up for me, Osiris, my father. I am your son. I am Horus. I have come that I might cleanse and purify you, that I might preserve you and collect your bones. I say this for you." |
