"I
am Osiris Onnophris who is found perfect before the
Gods. I hath said: These are the elements of my Body
perfected through suffering, glorified through trial.
The scent of the dying Rose is as the repressed sigh
of my Suffering. And the flame-red Fire as the energy
of mine undaunted Will. And the Cup of Wine is the pouring
out of the blood of my heart, sacrificed unto Regeneration,
unto the newer life. And the bread and salt are as the
foundations of my body, which I destroy in order that
they may be renewed. For I am Osiris Triumphant.
Even
Osiris Onnophris the Justified One. I am He who is clothed
with the body of flesh yet in whom flames the spirit
of the eternal Gods.
