beauty, prosperity, and happiness that comes only from the Gods
and from the devotion towards Them, as it was in the days of yore
before the arrival of the barbarian and abrahamic invasions and the
consequent destruction, ignorance, oblivion, materialism, and
misery both spiritual and economic of the contemporary age; to
return, despite the typhonic assaults of unrighteousness in all its
various forms, to that sacred path always present and at hand for
all human beings.

themselves,
great solar orb that darts forth his rays,
when He gives himself, everyone lives,
He Who crosses the heaven tirelessly early in the morning,
Whose rites endure on and on,
Great Elder, the Sovereign Who lives in Maat,
Greatest of the Great, Grandest of the Grand,
the Great One Who is greater than the other Gods,
Whose might comes as far as the extent of eternity carries,
the Elder Who was first to come into existence,
He Who siezes the Two Lands by His victory,
the Cyclical Eternity, He Who passes through eternity,
Father of Fathers, Mother of Mothers,
He Who raises Himself above the Ennead,
the Oracle Who forsees what is coming before it happens,
Whose work is to assure the cyclical eternity and the infinite
duration,
King of Upper and Lower Egypt, Amon-Ra, Lord of the Thrones
of Two Lands,
Lord of Heaven, Earth, Water, and Mountains.
Thus He says, Your son Whom You love, the Son of Ra, Taharqa,
King of Upper and Lower Egypt"

Rekh Nedjesh/Renenutet - Phamenoth/Pharmouthi
HYMN TO MANDULIS,
hymn of the roman decurion Maximus to Mandulis (Mrwl); end of
the I century CE, from the south wall of the Pronaos of the Temple
of Mandulis at Talmis (Cfr. Burstein, Ancient African
Civilizations. Kush and Axum 66-68).
-(foreword)
'When I had come to gaze on this blessed place of peace (the
Temple of Mandulis at Talmis) and to let wander free in the air the
inspiration desired by my soul, a way of life strange to me stirred
my mind from all sides. As I could not convict myself of any evil,
my nature then urged me to cultivate mystic toil.
In my wisdom I then composed a complex song, having received
from the Gods a holy and expressive idea.
When it was clear that the Muse had accomplished something
pleasing to the Gods, I shook out my festival song, like the flower
of a green shoot on Helicon. Then a cave enticed me to enter and
sleep. (...)
He (Mandulis) charmed away the barbaric speech of the
Aithiopians and urged me to sing in sweet Greek verse. (...)
He (Mandulis) came with brilliant cheeks on the right hand of Isis,
exulting in His greatness and the glory of the Romans, and uttering
Pythian oracles like an Olympian God. (...)'
-(the Hymn)
"O rayshooting Lord Mandulis, Titan, Makareus,
