Poem to Meretseger
I summoned my Mistress
having found her coming to me as a sweet breeze.
She was gracious to me causing that I see her hand.
She returned to me graciously
Causing me to forget the pain that was in my
heart For the Peak of the West is gracious
when she is summoned?

I named the head librarian in my book “ Dr Marie T Seger” which is a play on the goddess “Meretseger” whose name means “ she who loves silence “. Then I made this.

Statue of Amenhotep II Protected by Meretseger
This statue represents King Amenhotep II protected by the goddess Meretseger. He is standing with his left leg striding forward, wearing the white Hedjet crown of Upper Egypt, and with a uraeus emerging from his forehead.
Each foot stands on the image of the nine bows, which represent the combined enemies of Egypt. The cartouche with the name Amenhotep II is inscribed on the buckle of his skirt. Behind him, the Theban goddess Meretseger in the form of a cobra coils around him and protects him.
Meretseger wears a headdress with the horns and sun disk typical of Hathor. At the rear, her body forms coils that are in turn wrapped by papyrus stems. This detail and the pose of the goddess as she protects the king are both similar to elements seen in the statue of Amenhotep II with the goddess Hathor found in the shrine dedicated to her in Thutmose III’s temple at Deir el-Bahari.
New Kingdom, mid 18th Dynasty, reign of Amenhotep II, ca. 1427-1401 BC. Granite, from Karnak. Now in the Egyptian Museum, Cairo. JE 39394 Read more
—-Ife (Meretseger)
My little child finally is R6. The first I ever wanted to pull, she is finally done. I completed my objective in Dislyte.
I suppose I only have Liam, then I wouldn't care for resos anymore. Maybe buy his R6 next week.
If you haven't done one yet, could I ask for a poem for Meretseger?
O' Mistress of the Crypts,
I sing my praises to you.
My arms are raised,
towards the sun,
as it descends upon the necropolis.
Your wrath is to be feared,
but your kindness is to be praised,
and my heart sings for you,
O' Great Meretseger.
Protect my ka,
and when it is my time,
guide my ba towards the heavens.
