HEALING SPELL
May Isis heal me
As she healed her son Horus
Of all the pains Which his
brother Seth Brought on him
When he slew his father Osiris.
O Isis, Great Enchantress heal me,
Save me from all evil things of darkness,
From the epidemic and deadly disease
And infections of all sorts
that spring upon me,
As you saved and freed your son Horus.
For i have passed through fire
And am come out of the water;
May I never light upon
that day When I shall say,
"I am of no account and pitiable".
O Ra, Who has spoken for Your body,
O Osiris,
Who prays for Your manifestation.
Ra speaks for the body,
Osiris prays for the manifestation.
Free me from all possible evil,
All hurtful things of darkness,
From epidemic and deadly
fevers of all kinds.
