One of my favorite versions of Spell 125 has the god Anubis, who's a jackal or dog-headed god.
he comes and brings the deceased into the court of Osiris, and he addresses the court.
There's Osiris and 42 of his divine judges and a few other gods, and Anubis says, basically, hi, everyone, this is
the deceased so-and-so, I know he's one of you because he smells like you.
It's just like what a dog would think, presumably.
Right, that's one of the versions of 125.
Right.
There are spells that are connected to the opening of the mouth.
But interestingly enough, the opening of the mouth ritual is somewhat of a separate thing.
It's
not actually included in the Book of the Dead.
There are images representing the opening of the mouth in the vignettes, and then the spells that we number as spells 21 to 23 are
have to do with the opening of the mouths.
They're meant to basically give the deceased power over their mouths to receive food and drink, to speak, and to be able to pronounce their own name and all of the important information that's mentioned in the later texts.
The Egyptian gods, I think, you know, at first glance, they seem like quite ugly-looking, animal-headed, human-bodied entities.
But the animal heads are not actually representations of what the Egyptians thought the gods looked like.
They represent the qualities of that deity.
So Anubis...
The jackal, the canine, right?
He's very protective.
