Blessing to the Dead (For Bast)
"Bast nefer dy ankh
Beautiful Bast giving Life,
A Bast, shu asenu
Hail Bast, in visible form, casting light into the darkness
sesept em kekui,
I have come before you,
i kua ser-ten, uat sesh-tha, ta em hetep.
the path is opened, the earth is at peace.
O Great goddess, Bast,
Soul of Isis,
Heart of the Sun -- hear my call.
Enter now this consecrated shrine (or circle)
Make Thy presence known to me.
Aid thy servant in reaching the source of all things,
Guide thy servant's steps on the true path
Answer your physical manifestation's soul's desire for Thou.
Blessed be Bast,
Who gathers her children into life everlasting.
Blessed be Bast,
The Beloved of Bast has gone to the Horizon,
Your physical manifestation lives now only in the sunset.
May it's ka endure and it's shadow seek the light.
The power of Bast protects her,
Shut en Bast sau."
