There is no more toad juice

In Ancient Egyptian religion, Anubis, the jackal-headed gatekeeper of the afterlife, would weigh the hearts of the dead in the Hall of Two Truths against a feather from the wings of Ma'at, the goddess of truth, justice and order. People with hearts lighter than the feather were taken to the afterlife but hearts that were too heavy were consumed by Ammit, the Devourer of the Dead, who was part lion, hippopotamus and crocodile.

Nowadays I am pretty worried that my heart wouldn't be lighter than that feather.
