MUMMIFICATION: BODY BOUND ALTAR
Klawdya Rothschild http://www.klawdya.com
Myth of Mummification
-Isis and Osiris vs Nephthys and Seth
-Seth tricks Osiris, encases him in a chest, throws it into a river
-The chest grows into a tree, which gets used to build a Palace
-Isis retrieves the body and Seth chops it into 14 pieces, scattered throughout Egypt
-She found all pieces, except one: the phallus, thrown into the river and eaten by a fish
– Isis reassembled the pieces, fashioned a phallus out of stone (the first magickal dildo!) and reanimated him (thus turned him into the God of the Underworld) with a magickal incantation—and thus the practice of mummification was born.

Not to Let the Spirit Die (an approach to endurance mummification)
-O you who take away and bring days to an end, do not take away my years or bring my days to an end, for I am Horus, Lord of the Netherworld, Monarch of the Western Horizon. I will not die in the West, and the messengers of Osiris have no power over me, for I am Horus, son of Osiris. I will not die on On, Kherehaha, or the East, and the messengers of Soped have no power over me, for I am Horus, son of Osiris. I will not die in the South, and the messengers of Horus have no power over me, for I am Horus, Son of Osiris. I will not die in the North and the messengers of the Outcast have no power over me, for I am Horus, son of Osiris, I will not die in the waters, and the messengers of those who are in the waters have no power over me, for I am Horus, son of Osiris.
-I will not die in the abyss, and the messengers of those who are in the Abyss have no power over me, for I am Horus, son of Osiris.
-I will not die a second time, and the dwellers in the Netherworld have no power over me. I will not eat their fish, their fowl shall not scream over me, for I am Horus, son of Osiris.
