THE WRITINGS OF SESHEP-AKHU

By Nemus

Duataud

May the deed shine forth and the word be hidden
- Liber Pennae Praenumbra

I dissolve
Nothingness
I am shadow
I am light
now
Naton
 

Face aflame in blue
Body & Time
Who
Flows in  electrum

Key
Door
Heka

Invisible House of Light
Black flame that burns within
The heart of Man

Come forth winged one with Maut
Strange and hidden child from Maat
Bornless Age now borne manifest
I begin

Nexus

Great river
Reveal more
Than water will know.

I am what the river leaves
From rich red Nile clay
When dog days no longer flood;
And Sirius is again below.

Great River,
You too are fed
From a source whose heart is space
And whose soul is the house of stars.

In life and death, flood & drought;
I am a river of water and life.
I am first earth to know each day.
Now bennu awakes
Now the victorious One returns
Who forms All from wet, red, river clay.

Dweller of Duat - I  raise my spell:
My red pots I shatter ? I again am born
Silent child of the strange black Nile
 Who flows thru narrow door & wide Abyss:-

I invoke the magickal portal of Heka
I invoke  Heka, Who awakes the One.
I invoke Heka  breath before word
Whose body is now dry-land
Whose head is Ra=Heka

The many-eyed, now seen angel has manifest
Known after life is alive again therein
Seated upon a hidden stone of lapis-lazuli
Egg-blue stone of water that became of Grail;

Rise up and come forth into day
Earth & rose now mix with blood
All orisons that thicken Night by flood
Now brings forth spell, form and clay
As wet will stretches, dries in the heat of Day

And, at the Sirius rise
Back thru marsh & reed
Is an open hand
With an open heart
A doorway to
 Open Truth
That leads me to you
And you to Us.
 

My Ghost likes to travel…
- Peter Gabriel

 @ March - August 2003.

Preshadows

… Rest here, awhile above the moon and sun.
Rest here, in the House of One million years.
Become the Light that stays brightest close before me.
I am living flame within the eternal heart of Nu..
And you are the children of the feather-word of flight
To raise  another spell  to turn away  what  would plague the heart
 that sits awake upon the coils of its  tongue; head bowed , ear to earth
listening for  the cakl of the Ibis to begin -  breath & life, to rise again…
 
 

The Scribe Of Hod

Primeval One of Duat
Seven cubit lengths of moonlight tall
Your measure is riverbend to fingertip,
Spell & swoon of Nile reed beneath  Sothis-eye.
You who are called Djhut
Come forth in conscious, clarity:-
Come forth to me.

The  rituals of Old now black I celebrate
With the restless rebel of south and soul.
 An Openning of Mouth, Heka and word
As one eye now watches Its company of stars…

To swallow Death and Time by the same mouth
By the eight-folds of serpent-bitten tail; skull and cup now fill:
Secret keys  of  magickal ritual unlock the keep of Thoth ;
As thirst whose knowledge multiplies
As  voice and answer remain no longer,
Still
 

Now,  we live again to walk thru every Door
Thru triple-chambered alchemy to Ecstacy;
.Behold! both face and form below Abyss
Image of a thrice great and generous  God.

Om.  Ibis-headed shape of Heart
Viaov. Winged messenger of god
Ipsos- by the same mouth Thoth:

 Whose silence speaks thru  sacred science
Moves with faceless moon above formless Water
To shape the feather mask of all now veritas

  Judgement to divide  deep with dark by mystery;
Whose arms raise up both spell & quill to Truth
Whose medicine solves all wounds of Set & Ra

Come forth ? scribe now, this omnipresence
In emergent emerald upon black & fertile earth
 The lives that shall live again, now walk here with us.
 Lives whose heart is written upon a tablet of hidden stone :

Call-forth -Akashic record; the mark ofTruth &  Law ;
The Light that shines behind us, unrolls from nameless Age
A papyrus of serpents-kin sealed  by sand, wind and you:-

This Knowledge  that rises to be known again:-
Is a black pearl before theSeen may see
 the great and Shining One,
Still Heart 11 pointed star of Night
Our Invisible body dissolved, until manifest ,
 Now is weighed and here ,  by Maat revealed
 

Primeval One ? you who dwell with Naton here
 Thy sign is the Ibis who sits on dry land
Give us Knowledge  to judge and weigh
Science  to understand equal measure,
Moons to watch and guide sun across  Day

Teach me the count of numbers  that rise  from ancient depths
To bathe our Ka in the magi-cakl waters of  Knowledge

Now, Our Holy place is here.

My House becomes your dwelling place;
My soul now fills with Light:  Your sign  is now my sign
Received within the temple of the 11*
Bornless Being  who is  Naton  now is borne
Sacred words from the sword of Silent speech
Scribed upon His ancient tablets of   emerald earth
Filled by Thoth -  the  measure of moon & Eye
 

You scribe… your reed records our ancient song
Whose words awake each day to journey anew;
Rise up, with life again from watery Nun;
Rise up, now One -  Opening Mouth;
Keeper of the Great Eye who judges
All  hearts filled by honey -the work of Maat’s bees

Our lives  complete  return - You are come again into Khemenu
The Town of Eight  awaits   He Of Djhut  Re awakes
 Dweller of Duat -  who describes the magickal  forms of Change

Come forth now upon this Land and dwell herein with me.
Come forth ? another spell of Sothis  rises here ?
 Floods  ancient riverbeds of  sacred  age with secret light

The bright eye of Thoth that bathes in star-lit knowledge
Now opens  Mouth and Khu as Ka is lighter Still:-
Invisible  alchemy whose waters spawn  electrum akhu

In this still House of Khabs
The Voice of Silence speaks again
Past here, where thirst is watered with wisdom,
By  the knowledge that reaches beyond Life:-
This Light behind Us  faint & fairie ; here dwells yet again:

Unite what once was none,  of the stars and Two.

The Summons

I speak the word from which I was made. I speak of truth and splendor and strength, of the honor of death and power of return. I speak of the crested ibis.
- Papyrus of Ani

By my Spacemark -  North by West;
To this Time when dog-days are deepest-red
As Mars now brightest awakes the Dead
Let flood and  Light ?  reveal the Ibis crest

Seshep-Akhu  I call thee forth
Shining One of Black Flame
Great scribe and priest of Maat
I summon thee ? come forth
In the brilliant light of Night.

I who am priest am beloved of Truth
Maat dissolve this knot of Heka
I who invoke the Akhu of Naton
Now perform the rite of the 1*1

I release maat upon you..

My spell is scribed on the throne of Thoth
My voice is the comity of stars
I Rise up thru the ages of sand
I am stone whose water flows thru black land
From a deep coiled well ? from South  to North I Go
My sorcery to bind the will that bends light and future to man
 
 

By the double-wanded ones: Hrumakhu and Naton
Come forth polisher of Light
Come forth from thrice awaken’d Sleep

I summon Truth to return to Now.
I summon  with a strength of secret and few:
I who have bound nothing now bind you

I-Seshep-Akhu
I  High priest of Maat I ancient scribe of Thoth
I who need not be am  Opener and Deed of she-who-moves
By all that is sacred  - Black Flame
Silent voice of an Age yet to come
I am thy child crowned with light ? I who have sowed the seed I spring
Thru Time ? by the same mouth come forth:

Seshep-Akhu:-   Shining One  who dwells in Duat.
I-Seshep-Akhu  who walk now here with the children of Maat

Sheshep-Akhu

I have eaten Maat, I have swallowed the magick of Heka… - CT 107
 

As the power of my Spell grows with lengthening shadow
As the voice of Her word is returned to the tongue by the same mouth:
As It begins: I am  a-wing -   spellborne upon  pranu ;

May we be guided by  Maat
May we  move across all great divisions of Time
 In the mouth of the emerald hawk.

This that rises  now upon phoenix wings
This to re-awakened from sleep:
This  to burn all that is false to the heart of maat away ?

 Now, brilliant light whose spell  comes forth from the rain of Hathor
Now fresh fever -  my rain of stars is upon men

I who dwell in the core with the Ibis and bee
I who call forth the great Eye of return
I whose Spells are shaped and formed by feather-quill

…I have performed Akhut  for you, I built for you a temple for your  ka… - PT

I release Maat upon you.

May Maut tear your flesh
May the arrows of two lands find your heart
 
 

As you are dissolved now, all joy
Know now, my spell is upon you
By the same mouth
Ahk and deed ? Sheshep-Akhu

Her Love-spell manifest was/is not/shall be Bourne.
 

Inside Passage

And when I become pure water and no quarter remains
For one, last particle of me: these two great and lesser keys
 When nothing of I now exists  that is not now spirit in-between
Ychronos    Cthonos

Here within the sealed mouth: spells seeded by the light of stars to lift up Man, Scribed by the hand and watchful eye of Thoth as Maat weighs the heart whose Coiled joy  now awakens word upon another Ages tongue

Spells for Truth & Balance whose wings rise with each breath of pranu
Spells  to heal the Heart of Man
Spells to Open Mouth and Eye
Spells now, astir  with life herein
 Spell & knot of Heka whose sandals rise to walk
Spells to spring ? call forth memory from silent lips
Spells of   star-lit secret-seed whose flower mates with Bee
 Lotus-bloom outside the circle of Time

Into this House whose temple flame burns brightest
For scale and flame ? I am come forth
Into this House whose walls are living Light
I enter my House of still  and cool shade

Where all that is thirst, now is light and mead
From the desert Spell-spring of Thoth this rise of words
By tzaddi’s hook feeds past and future equally :
 Magic-akhu memory caught in open mouth
The lake of  eternity now filled  by pure waters of return:-

As body becomes a cloak of feathered fire left behind
And I dissolve into nothingness as She passes my ka by Heka
Thru a mouth whose word shall rise again with the waters of Sothis:
The seal is broken.
The red clay pot that once held my existence is smashed
 By Maat into the vision of one million stars.

Flesh consumes  company ? Light  releases  hidden mystery
Opens whose keep is stone more wise than seen;
Buried beneath the  image of the  Child-god of gold.
Now my  unveiling by She who moves Thoth …

 …I await Judgement inside an invisible Underworld that only seems now, not to exist: beneath this ancient temple; raised by hands and faces now descended into Past; built along the great river ?Life.

No less obvious is the subtlety of sharpened sensitivity whose head and neck wait patiently, clean-shaven, after fast, and dressed in the fresh white linen whose cotton grows just outside  these guarded gates of  Heart ?  patient, constant only thru vigilance , the bowed-head of my lifetime here, now again beneath an edge whose sword is Mother of All Truth:

And if there is no mercy, nor pity to be found here; my last request now is this:
May the black feather of Maat weigh no more than I;  and  guide me now; grant; thru each of the12 perilous Houses of Night to final dissolution of Self  as head is liberated here by sword thru neck, heart and known body; into that great abyss whose only certainty that life shall one day teach my soul a gain;  is a daily journey of known into unknown; whose success must balance this:

Quick mind, strong Will, doubled-edge sword, with Love.

 Love,  dwell now here: inside these walls of the Still City that is constantly built with each second of Time, each grain of sand, amidst the infinite stars who dwell  inside this great desert of soul called Night.

The House of Horus
 

SONG OF  HATHOR

I am a shade grove of sycamore beyond time and wind.
I am She who suckles life with  flood and light.
Iam the House,  the Hour,  the Quarter circle squared.
I am a threefold mystery  whose veil has seven  names.

 Red Eye  of the Black Land;   Turquoise  Daughter  -  West.
I am the Golden One who is shed upon that purple bed
And now, by my flowing ribbon of red is your Love bound to me.

This is my Palace of all pleasure and drunkenness
These are my faces upon each column  of four doors
The opening of my image burns now before you
In one million mirrors of copper and milk.

You who enter here  by the Utterances I adore
My sign I have given you now goes below
 As another fresh Spell of Ra= Heka  rises
Now, seeks only me whose lick is shade to sycamore

Here you who have made a secret door.
Here you who are priest
Here you who are king.
Here you who are magickian

Now lay again with me in the House of the Sky.
 
 

AKHU  SONG

I am a soul who has gone before
Priest and keep of silent mystery
King and body now dissolved.

I am the knot whose magick binds Time
Opener of the mouth whose word is mine
Prophet and servant of the lovely star.

Now as future streams from starlit past
Mine is a shadow pre and ancient cast

This Time, this Place this heart of man,
I who have life and death and light beyond
I now shed the akhu of Naton upon you
You who balance heart & feather
To You now  the children of Maat
Rise up now here upon  a spell whose breath
And Well are drawn from all the Ages of Time

I am One  and All  in the clear light before you
May my  deeds reveal the Just Heart of Truth
My footprints mark this path thru flood and sand

Strange child poured forth from the open lips of Naton
You are the brilliant  light of an age yet to come
Guide and rich soil for this seed of great akhut come forth
Whose way is open thru above and below
 
 
 

SONG OF THE CROWNED & CONQUERING CHILD

This is the way beyond the weigh
Passage of light thru Night
Come forth again to Day.

The way to the House of H orus
The way to the House of Life
Thru the temple of Hathor

This is the place of Set and Sothis.
This is the sun I love beyond the one
I am the child whose time becomes
House of Light ? Mid-weigh of Day
Whose milk flows from Andromeda
And the great spells of Heka dwell
Now, here with me.

Hear me!
I am priest . I am king. I am magickian
I am the ground now found.
Mine is the Victory of my eye returned
I am the victorious omnipresence that rules continuity.
I am steel forged from the heart of the silent-child

Strange child who creates me
 Black pearl of crystal lotus
Thy ocean is lapis-lazuli.

Thrice upraised I go ? make weigh
To the Great House of Horus

Between these uplifted arms
I am  one now Bornless in the mouth of Heka

Beyond the Horns of Hathor
I am come forth to the comity of stars
Now here found.

3Jan2004

Unobstructed Cobra

IT is the quiet hour of twilight
Where the incense of natron burns
And Hramachis begins to rise
In the House of Spells.

Here is our secret Place I know
Where Joy becomes a coiling snake
And again this now is holy ground
Where rain, milk and light are shed over you.

With your sign I have entered
Unspoken
Into the Temple of Hathor  we are come.

By the wings of this spell hence cast
By the creep of beetles come forth
Kephra
Called now thickened
By the silent voice:
Spell and Utterance
Whose Day is yet to come
Whose Night has only past…

I who breathe again in the temple of Hathor
I that am now Invisible - in rain, milk and light
To you I arise ? I awake. I walk the black land.

Each step becomes a ray of starlit journey
Gathered up to you who rules midday
I return to the sky. I now join the company of stars
My hours dwell within the House of Horus.

By ferment and foam - by torrent and swoon
Thru the silence the ages stream
Four currents now carry me in thee.

I have eaten the bread of life
To nourish after my life
That breath shall again be drawn
From the well of the dog-stars eye.

Free am I of wheel
Free am I of veil
Free am I of time.

We are come ? we are the light shed.
We are libation ? milk whose spell
Is protection and nourishment
For the akhut of Maat.

Into the laughter  and leap
Within the river we flow
I  have gone forth with the head of the hawk
Yours is the weigh of word and deed.

IT is the quiet hour of twilight
Where the incense of natron burns
And Hramachis begins to rise
In the House of Spells.

An Open Past

I remember when time  knew you:
Nights of shared mead and mystery
Sacred grove of star & snake
A rose of dawn long after we rise and danced again
As  cup and sword and stone are gathered
by black flame and double-wanded One
These lives that dwelt with you:-
That masque whose Age was Youth
Our mass of phoenix born
Each sunset on and thru the West
 Single egg that here still rests
Pantancle of Horus-Maat
upon the  altar of us all..

These are other Lives -
Spirit -feast, mortal flesh,  ripen moon once more.
 
 
 

Naton before me
Maat between me
Eye of  Thoth below
Omnipresence of Nu above

In the shadow of an emerald hawk
Tooth of apophis in the heart of a dove
 

And now, these are my two hands again
I who raised these iron-fallen keys
Between each silent sealed lip

I who open each aeons unspoken word
I who raised each ancient spell in turn
This is final. This is the 4th and final day
The spell of opening the mouth
I ,  am bound   now by maat   Deed.

I who am Sekhen-Akh,
I call thee forth Seshep-Akhu
