The underwater mafic mosaic refers to the distribution and arrangement of mafic rocks on the ocean floor. Mafic rocks are rich in magnesium and iron, and they are commonly found in the oceanic crust. This mosaic is a result of volcanic activity and the formation of new oceanic crust at mid-oceanic ridges. The oceanic crust is primarily composed of mafic rocks, such as basalt and gabbro. These rocks are formed as magma from the mantle rises to the surface and cools rapidly to form basaltic lava. This lava solidifies to form basalt rocks on the ocean floor.
Priests were the main practitioners of magic in pharaonic Egypt, where they were seen as guardians of a secret knowledge given by the gods to humanity to 'ward off the blows of fate'. The most respected users of magic were the lector priests, who could read the ancient books of magic kept in temple and palace libraries. In popular stories such men were credited with the power to bring wax animals to life, or roll back the waters of a lake.
O Thoth, vindicate N against his enemies in the tribunal of every god and every goddess, and in those tribunals of Osiris which are behind the shrine. Headrest of a scribe protected with protective deities including the god Bes, who warded off evil demons from the headrest s owner as he slept Angry deities, jealous ghosts, and foreign demons and sorcerers were thought to cause misfortunes such as illness, accidents, poverty and infertility.
This lava solidifies to form basalt rocks on the ocean floor. Gabbro is formed when magma intrudes into the crust and cools slowly beneath the surface. The movement of tectonic plates is responsible for the creation of mid-oceanic ridges.
Spells from Ancient Egypt. Translated to English of course.
So I worked on trying to figure out an "egyptian" spell today and in light of that I wanted to post some actual spell workings from Ancient Egypt. Egyptian spell working is rather simple. You don't need anything to do these spells except speak the words. That's the beauty of them in my opinion. So with out further ado, here are some various spells you can work, as you see fit, for various situations. The number listed before the spell is the spell number from the Egyptian Book of the Dead.
9: Spell for going out into the day after opening the tomb.
O you soul, great majestic, behold, I have come that I may see you; I open the Netherworld that I may see my father Osiris and drive away darkness, for I am beloved of him.
I have come that I may see my father Osiris and that I may cut out the breath of Seth who has harmed my father Osiris. I have opened up every path that is in the sky and on earth, for I am the well-beloved son of my father Osiris. I am noble, I am spirit, I am equipped; O all you gods and all you spirits, prepare a path for me.
10: Another spell for a man's going out onto the day against his foes in the realm of the dead.
I have dug up the sky, I have hacked up the horizon, I have traversed the earth to its furthest extent, I have taken possession of the spirits of the great ones, because I am one who equips a myriad with his magic. I eat with my mouth, I defecate with my hinder-parts, for I am a god, lord of the Netherworld, I have given up those things which were established in the past, I have planned appearance in glory.
11. Spell for going out against a foe in the realm of the dead.
O you who consume your arm, prepare a path for me, for I am Ra, I have come forth from the horizon against my foe. He has been given to me ad he shall not be taken from me. I have extended my arm as Lord of the Wereret-crown. I have stridden out with the speed of the uraeus when my foes has not been put into my hand for me. Such is my foe, he has been given to me, he shall not be taken form me. I have arisen as Horus, I have sat down as Ptah, I am as strong as Thoth, I am mighty as Atum, I walk with my legs, I speak with my mouth in order to seek out my foe; he has been given to me and he shall not be taken from me.
12. Spell for going in and out.
Hail to you, O Ra, guardian of the secrets of the gates which are on the neck of Geb, because of this balance of Ra with which he weighs his justice daily. Behold, I have hacked up the earth, and I have been permitted to come, having grown old.
13. Spell for going in and out of the West.
To me belong all men, I have given everything to myself. I have gone in as a falcon, I have come out as a phoenix, the god who worships Ra. Prepare a path for me, that I may enter in peace into the beautiful West, for I belong to the Lake of Horus, I leash the hounds of Horus. Prepare a way for me, that I may go in and worship Osiris, the Lord of Life.
14. Spell for removing anger from the heart of a god.
Hail to you, you who descend in power, chief of all secret matters! Behold, my word is spoken: so says the god who was angry with me. Wrong is washed away, and it falls immediately. O Lords of Justice, may this god be gracious to me, may my evil be removed for you. O Lord of Offerings, as mighty ruler, behold I have brought to you a propitiation-offering so that you may live on it and that I may live on it; be gracious to me and remove all anger which is in your heart against me.
20. The deceased appeals to Thoth to vindicate him before the tribunals of the Gods.
O Thoth, you who vindicated Osiris against his enemies, may you entrap the enemies of N in the presence of the tribunals of every god and every goddess:
In the presence of the great ribunal which is hel din Heliopolis on the night of battle and of felling of those who rebelled.
In the presence of the great tribunal which is in Busiris on that night of erecting the two djed-pillars.
In the presence of the great tribunal which is in Letopolois on that fateful night of performing the night-rutual in Letopolis.
In the presence of the great tribunal which is in Pe and Dep on that night of comforming the heritage of Horus in respect of the property of his father Osiris.
In the presence of the great tribunal which is in the two banks on that night when Isis mourned for her borhter Osiris.
In the presence of the great tribunal which is in Abydos on that night of the haker-festival and of the numbering of the dead and spirits.
In the presence f the great tribunal which is on the Road of the Dead on that night of making inquiry into him who is nothing.
In the presence of the great tribunal which is in the Great Devastation.
In the presence of the great tribunal which is in the Naref.
In the presence of the great tribunal which is in the Roset-jau on that night when Horus was vindicated against his enemies.
Horus has become great happily, the two Conclaves are pleased about it, and Osiris is glad. O Thoth, vindicate N against his enemies in the tribunal of every god and every goddess, and in those tribunals of Osiris which are behind the shrine.
If you have any questions about these spells please let me know. Keep on Witching, and Ereshkigal's Blessings.
Collections of healing and protective spells were sometimes inscribed on statues and stone slabs (stelae) for public use. A statue of King Ramesses III (c.1184-1153 BC), set up in the desert, provided spells to banish snakes and cure snakebites.
These ridges are characterized by volcanic activity and the upwelling of magma from the mantle. As the magma reaches the surface, it forms new oceanic crust, which consists mainly of mafic rocks. The underwater mafic mosaic is created as new oceanic crust is continuously formed at mid-oceanic ridges and spreads away from the ridge along the ocean floor. As the oceanic crust moves away from the ridge, it cools and solidifies, contributing to the mosaic-like pattern of mafic rocks. This pattern is characterized by alternating patches or blocks of basalt and gabbro. The underwater mafic mosaic is not uniform throughout the ocean floor. It is influenced by various factors, such as the spreading rate of the oceanic crust, the magma supply from the mantle, and the presence of faults and fractures. These factors can result in variations in the thickness and distribution of mafic rocks. Studying the underwater mafic mosaic provides valuable insight into the processes of plate tectonics and the formation and evolution of the oceanic crust. It helps scientists understand the dynamics of the Earth's interior and how it shapes the surface of our planet. Additionally, the mafic rocks of the mosaic can serve as important reservoirs for valuable minerals and resources. In conclusion, the underwater mafic mosaic refers to the distribution and arrangement of mafic rocks on the ocean floor. It is a result of volcanic activity and the formation of new oceanic crust at mid-oceanic ridges. Studying this mosaic provides valuable information about plate tectonics and the formation of the Earth's crust..
