Transformation into a Falcon of Gold

"I have risen, I have risen like a mighty falcon of gold that cometh forth from his egg; I fly and I alight like the falcon which hath a back four cubits wide, and the wings of which are the mother-of-emerald of the south. I have come forth from the interior of the //Sektet// barque, and my heart hath been brought unto me from the mountain of the east. I have alighted upon the //Atet// barque, and those who were dwelling in their companies have been brought unto me, And they bowed low in paying homage unto me and in saluting me with cries of joy.

I have risen, I have gathered myself together like the beautiful falcon of gold, Which hath the head of a Bennu bird, and Ra entereth in day by day to hearken unto my words; I have taken my seat among those first-born gods of Nut. I am established, and the divine //Sekhmet -hetep// is before me, I have eaten therein, I have become a //ka// (spirit) therein, I have an abundance therein - as much as I desire - the god Neper hath given to me my throat, And I have gained the mastery over that which guardeth - or belongeth to - my head.

I fly like a falcon, I cackle like the sennen goose, And I perch upon that abode of the Duat, on the festival of the great being. My nest is invisible, my egg is not broken. I have done away the evil which is in me. Let me, then, live upon that which the gods and I am more powerful than the lord of time, And I shall enjoy the pleasures of love, And shall gain the mastery over millions of years."
