PBP Fridays: W is for Heka for Wadjet
I am a follower of Wadjet, Lady of the Sky and the Devouring Flames;
She sets men and gods afire, the earth and sky afire,
but no enemy or rebel passes Her to reach me,
for She perceives them and Her fire is effective;
Her light betrays them and they flee as shadows before the sun.
The Fortunate One, Risen in Green and Papyrus,
has delimited the Two Lands, and in them,
there is a place for me and my ka to live.
Fiery Serpent, Great of Magic, hear me:
Grant that the acclaim of me be like the acclaim of You;
Grant that the love of me be like the love of You.
