[father-of-the-void]

The sword of Orion opens the doors of the sky. Before the doors close again the gate to the path over the fire, beneath the holy ones as they grow dark As a falcon flies as a falcon flies, may Unis rise into this fire.

Ancient Egyptian Pyramid Texts

[father-of-the-void]

Atum, bring me up to you, encircle me inside your arms. There is no star-god without his companion: I am your companion.

Utterance 215, The Ancient Egyptian Pyramid Texts

[father-of-the-void]

Oh King, you are this Great Star, the Companion of Orion, who traverses the sky with Orion...you ascend from the east of the sky being renewed in your due season, and rejuvenated in your due time...

The Pyramid Texts

[kemwer-kmt]

Horus comes to you, O King, that he may do for you what he did for his father Osiris, so that you may live as those in the sky live, that you may be more extant than those who exist on earth, raise yourself because of your strength, may you ascend to the sky, may the sky give birth to you like Orion, may you have power in your body and may you protect yourself from your foe. ~ Pyramid Text  Utterance 690

[immoren]

Lo, their Ba is in Pharaoh's belly. Their Akhs are in Pharaoh's possession, as the surplus of his meal out of the gods. Which is cooked for Pharaoh from their bones. Lo, their Ba is in Pharaoh's possession. Their shadows are removed from their owners, while Pharaoh is this one who ever rises and lasting lasts. The doers of ill deeds have no power to destroy, the chosen seat of Pharaoh, among the living in this land. For ever and ever.

Pyramid texts: Cannibal Hymn: Confirmation

[immoren]

Hymn to Pharaoh He has revolved around the whole of the two skies. He has circled the two banks. For Pharaoh is the great power that overpowers the powers. Pharaoh is a sacred image, the most sacred image of the sacred images of the Great One. Whom he finds in his way, him he devours bit by bit. Pharaoh's place is at the head of all the noble ones who are in the horizon. For Pharaoh is a god, older than the oldest. Thousands revolve around him, hundreds offer to him. There is given to him a warrant as a great power by Orion, the father of the gods. Pharaoh has risen again in the sky. He is crowned as Lord of the Horizon. He has smashed the back-bones, and has seized the hearts of the gods. He has eaten the Red Crown. He has swallowed the Green One. Pharaoh feeds on the lungs of the wise. And likes to live on hearts and their magic. Pharaoh abhors against licking the coils of the Red Crown. But delights to have their magic in his belly. Pharaoh's dignities will not be taken away from him. For he has swallowed the knowledge of every god. Pharaoh's lifetime is eternal repetition. His limit is everlastingness. In this his dignity of : 'If-he-likes-he-does. If-he-dislikes-he-does-not.' He who is at the limits of the horizon, for ever and ever.

Pyramid texts: Cannibal Hymn: After the Meal

[immoren]

It is Pharaoh who eats their magic and gulps down their Akhs. Their big ones are for his morning meal, their middle-sized ones are for his evening meal, their little ones are for his night meal, their old men and their old women are for his incense-burning. It is the Great Ones in the North of the sky, who light the fire for him to the cauldrons containing them, with the thighs of their eldest (as fuel). Those who are in the sky serve Pharaoh, and the butcher's blocks are wiped over for him, with the feet of their women.

Pyramid Texts: Cannibal Hymn: The Divine Meal

[immoren]

Pharaoh is the Bull of the Sky, who shatters at will, who lives on the being of every god, who eats their entrails, even of those who come with their bodies full of magic from the Island of Fire. Pharaoh is one equipped, who assembles his Akhs. Pharaoh appears as this Great One, Lord of those with (helping) hands. He sits with his back to Geb, for it is Pharaoh who weighs what he says, together with Him-whose-name-is-hidden, on this day of slaying the oldest ones. Pharaoh is Lord of Offerings, who knots the cord, and who himself prepares his meal. Pharaoh is he who eats men and lives on gods, Lord of Porters, who dispatches written messages. It is 'Grasper-of-the-top-knot', who is Kehau, who lassoes them for Pharaoh. It is 'Serpent Raised-head' who guards them for him and restrains them for him. It is 'He-upon-the-willows' who binds them for him. It is Courser, slayer of Lords, who will cut their throats for Pharaoh, and will extract for him what is in their bodies, for he is the messenger, whom Pharaoh sends to restrain. It is Shezmu who will cut them up for Pharaoh, and cooks meals of them in his dinner-pots.
