Invocations





O Great One, Sky,
You made power and strength,
and filled each place with Your beauty,
All lands belong to You.
You hold Geb and all creation in Your embrace.
Pyramid Texts 782



I am Nut, I have come to thee bringing thee gifts.
Thou sittest under me and coolest thyself under me and coolest thyself under my branches.
I allow three to imbibe of my milk and to live and to have nourishment of my two breasts; for joy and health are in them...
Thy mother provides thee with life.
She sets thee within her womb wherein she conceives.
 
The Tomb of Kenamun
