2012- Rediscover an Ancient Egyptian Prophecy

An Ancient Egyptian Prophecy, and the star alignment show the rebirth of Osiris in 2012 , Like many people I believe this period 2012 is the beginning and will offer us a new beginning of consious thought for us all.
I received a message from Susan Seymour Hedyke who wrote :I have done the chart for this time and date when a Yod aspect (finger of God) points at Jupiter in the constellation of the Bull, but Osiris is no human but a representation of the Yang energy which is a light energy, a rising energy, that is born out of the womb of Earth. For this reason Osiris could live on Earth

The Valley of the Kings - feel the fear - understand the journey into the afterlife


'Make beautiful your resting place in the West,
make splendid your resting place in the City of the Dead

Thanks to your just way of life it is here that your heart and soul can rest' Merikare


Across the river Nile on the western shore of Thebes, there lays a desolate winding valley that

hibernates within a barren and silent city for the dead, where no life can sustain on its parched

desert rocks. In ancient days this was a secret place with only one way into the valley, its dusty

road was only followed by the ritual funeral entourage of ancient times, and if you go into the valley

you can only return by the road that you came. No longer do the formidable Madjay stand guard on

its cliff tops, but you know that they are still there in spirit, eternal as the vow they took to protect

their kings in their final resting places


The sides of the valley twist and turn and contorting into a mountain that forms a natural pyramid

known as the Quorn, and like the pyramids this is a ladder to the stars and eternal life. It encloses

the subterranean tombs and final resting places of the once living Gods of Ancient Weset, the

pharaohs of The New Kingdom.


Try and imagine the tombs with an invisible passage of water that flows within a dark tunnel of fear

and chaos that could ultimately lead you to the light and eternity. A golden barque that has soaked

in the rays of the sun during the hours of the day will now be empowered to travel through the

darkness of the night on this eternal carrier of light, and it waits for you. Your mortal body is dead,

you are incapable of speech, you cannot move, you are travelling across the waters of chaos, you

are helpless, you sense a macabre fear of something enclosing you in the water, suddenly the water

begins to drain away, a demon snake known as Apophis has guzzled the water, and your barque is

becoming trapped in sandbanks, but they are not sandbanks they are the obese fat crushing coils of

this gigantic snake that will trap the barque, while its demon eyes will hypnotize the crew, enabling

the snake to swallow their heads engulfing them in everlasting darkness. Panic and chaos ensues,

help is desperately needed, the companions on the barque struggle to fight off this vile creature,

that has swum in the waters of chaos for eternity, In the battle Heka stands on the prow of the

boat his divine magic was given to the human race by God, and with his magical incantations he will

exorcise the snake, subduing it to his power. Ra then calls for Set, the god of Darkness, war and

Chaos to help them kill the snake whilst Heka has it in his spell, Seth leaps to the prow of the boat

with his spear launching it at this terrifying demon serpent, it rises above the boat emitting a screech

as its poisonous fangs launch towards them, Seth leaps onto the serpent and thrusts his sword into

the back of its head. Screeching it crashes into the waters of chaos launching the boat into a tidal

wave through the caverns. Seth is washed across to the shore where he drags the serpent and

hacks its glutoness body to pieces. In contempt of Ra and the other companions he gloats that only

he could save them from the threat of this Demon, Ra in his anger instructs Hu and Sia to guide the

boat to safer waters, leaving Seth on the shore. Hu takes a deep breath, then releases the divine

breath of life across the water, and the barque once more is thrust into fresher waters, the light and

perception of Hu’s female partner Sia expresses the mind of God, and together the spiritual essence

of these companions on the boat connect the soul with the heart of god once more and enable it to

journey towards the light again leaving behind the terrible darkness and fear of attack.


Only a man with a pure and righteous heart would be offered the everlasting release and joy to be a

part of the eternal cosmic cycle of renewal with the God Ra, the alternative was a macabre and

sinister torment that would await an unrighteous man, before the new kingdom those who were

found guilty were damned to suffer a continuous cycle of everlasting torment in the outer darkness

of an area in the deepest recesses of the underworld, a place of continuous punishment that was

infested with demons who had risen from the ranks of the damned themselves, killing and torturing

each other. They would rip the protective mummy wrappings off each other, screeching and tearing

each others flesh, their skin no longer protected, it rotted and decomposed Their hearts were ripped

out and the ba soul was lost, never knowing the way to fly back to its bodily homeagain. Thirst and

hunger ravished them, but they are denied the gifts of wine or bread, as their funeral gifts never

reach them., they would sneak past the four baboons that guarded the Lake of burning fire only to

find the water was not cool for them, refreshing their thirst as it would for a righteous man, for the

damned it was a place of destruction where burning, bloody water and the horrendous stench of

putrefying burnt flesh rose from its cesspools, for they were the brothers of Set, the God who

murdered his own brother Osiris, and disguised himself as a pig to blind Horus thus causing the

eclipses of the light and sun. Their torment never ceased but each new dawn a ray of hope would

spring forth inside their wretched bodies as a blinding golden barque passed overhead rays of light lit

up the darkness for a second and as the ray of light passed over them, they would scream and beg

for help, but the Righteous Barque of Ra sailed silently over them, completely oblivious to their cries

and torment… Only enter these portals of ancient Egypt to catch a glimpse of your possible destiny

if you believe that you have lived a righteous life, for these tunnels are the passage between what we understand as Heaven and hell.

Driving of the four Calves ritual of Gods wife of Amun Amundiris at Medinet Habu




The 'driving of the four calves' ritual with the Gods wife of Amun Amundiris is shown in her mortuary chapel in the grounds of Medinet Hau. Amundiris is shown as she walks across the wall wearing only the plumed headdress of Amun, where she is performing an ancient ceremony known as the driving of the four calves and the treading of the grave. In her left hand she holds a staff, leashed to the staff are four calves, as a farmer would till the earth to enhance the fruitful growth of his new crops, there are four calves to symbolically remind us that the four cardinal points of Egypt will be renewed by this ritual, Amundiris re-enacts the farmers yearly ritual in her burial tomb with four calves who tread the earth so that they like Osiris the god who rose again from death to be reborn would keep Egypt fertile for another year, at the end of each leash dangles the key of life enhancing the wish for new life. In her right hand she carries a stick to drive the calves across the burial ground.

The Gods Wife of Amun Chapels of Amendiris & Shepenwepet are found in the Grounds at Medinet Habu mortuary temple. These important ladies were the daughters or sisters of opposing kings of Egypt, and their position as The Gods wife of Amun was a political as well as a religious position as Ancient Waset (luxor) was the middle ground between two kingdoms so each king maintained his power through his daughter or sister therefore avoiding war and unnecessary hardship.

The women were revered within Waset as they were considered the living mortal wife of the god of Amun and these particular Gods wives had taken a vow of celibacy which promised no threat of another male claim to the throne.

The Gods Wife owned about 2,000 acres of fertile land in both the delta and Upper Egypt and received bread oxen geese and yields from the fields from the Priests of Amun, A small row of mortuary chapels are set back on the side of the courtyard as you come through the Migdol gateway.

The mortuary chapels in the grounds of Medinet Habu on the west banlk of luxor belong to Shepenwepet 1 who was the daughter of Osorken 111 a king of the Libyan invasion, Amendiris 1, a Kushite princess who was the sister of the king Piankhy the founder of the 25th dynasty. Piankhy made a religious pilgrimage to Weset and convinced Osorken and Shepenwepet to adopt his sister Amendiris as heir and successor to the title of Gods wife of Amun. I walked over to visit their chapels before I left the precincts of the temple grounds.

Above the lintels of the doorways the ‘appeal to the living’ is written, this is to encourage people passing through the door to repeat the offering formula for the Ka’s of these powerful women. An offering formula ensured that after their deaths a person would not be neglected, if offerings are not actually taken it is considered that the words spoken would be enough to sustain the Ka’s of these wives of Amun, you have to think of ‘the appeal to the living’ in the same way as a gravestone reminds you to visit an ancestor or friend to leave them flowers, telling them your worries and expressing your love for them , so as I passed through the door I asked Amendiris to accept my spoken offerings of food wine linen incense and water as gifts for the Ka of her eternal life.
The Egyptian faith encompassed all the forces of nature and I feel that this expressive coffin text helps to understand the beauty and simplicity of this symbolic act that Amendiris portrays to combine the acts of nature with the Gods and the universe.

Whether I live or die, I am Osiris, I enter in and reappear through you, I decay in you,
I grow in you, I fall down in you, I fall upon my side. The gods are living in me for I live and grow in the corn that sustains the Honoured Ones. I cover the earth; whether I live or die I am Barley. I am not destroyed. I have entered the Order, I rely upon the Order, I become Master of the Order, I emerge in the Order, I make my form distinct, I am the Lord -of the Chennet I have entered into the Order; I have reached its limits .
