Come

Approach 

My trusty jackal’s nose 

Don’t try to lie 

Cause I can smell your hide 

Leave your body Leave this body now

Your face can stay 

Upon this golden mask you made 

 The brave in heart 

Can claim eternal life 

My scales of truth 

Will need sufficient proof 

 Their balance depends 

On how your soul weights 

To walk with Gods 

The jaws of chaos you must pass 

 Anubis 

My soul is so light

 And as this feather I can fly 

 Anubis 

Don’t let me wither and die 

 I am proud for what I am 

The guardian of the dead 

Appointed by the gods 

To be their final judge 

 Anubis 

Don’t let me wither and die

Wood altar icon of Anubis I just completed. I’m especially proud of how the heiroglyphics of his name turned out!

If you’re interested, this icon is now listed in my Etsy store, Narkissa Magickals.
