PRAYER TO SEKHMET FOR PROTECTION
Composed by Senut for a soldier stationed in Iraq
Lady of the Burning Sands,
Sekhmet, Mistress of Terror!
May no enemy
find me,
May no harm approach me,
Your sacred fire surrounds me,
No evil can withstand Your Eye.

PRAYER TO SEKHMET
Composed on "The Day of Her Rage in Tjemehu"

Site Administrator note: This is one of the most beautiful
I have read and I give all credit to it's author, Senytmenu (seh-neet meh-noo), which in the Kemetic (ancient Egyptian) language means "The Two
endure."
O Mistress of Terror,
Red Lady,
She-Who-brings-the-evildoers-to-justice,
Right Eye
of Ra,
Turn not Your anger against us.
We bend our arms to You,
We fall on our bellies before Your red rage,
No
evil can withstand the fire of Your righteousness.
Turn not Your anger against us.
The weak cry out to You,
The
sick pray for healing,
The wronged plead for justice.
Turn not Your anger against us.
Great is the love of Your people for You.
Behold, we pour cool water and
oil for You,
We offer red beer to slake Your thirst for blood,
Turn not Your anger against us.
O Mighty Sekhmet,
Queen
of Cities,
Whose strength is without contender,
May You ascend to Ra with our prayers,
Riding the hot winds of Tjemehu,
Roaring
Your demands for Truth,
Retribution, and the return of Ma'at.
Turn not Your anger against us.
She sees your heart
Her actions serve as justice against those who do wrong against Ma'at
