I found the transliterations for this offering prayer on a website and have put it to use. I edited bits of it to suit what I was doing. Usually this is an offering fro the dead, but I wanted it as a deity offering prayer.
Translation:

An offering which the King gives to Aset, Bast, Nuit... so that he may give a voice offering in incense, oil, everything good and pure on which a Goddess lives for the Ka of the revered one key.

The second from last phrase is in modern Egyptian Arabic: I am an Egyptian at heart.

And then Senebty (AE): May you be healthy!

  • i really keep on watching this video.. i think it's really great. it really pulls me to the egyptian gods. and makes me want to learn more about them. just amazing

  • @wiccalinsje Wonderful to hear! :)

  • hi :) my main goddess is Bast, and my main god is Anpu, but the way i practice wicca is more...celt? is this wrong or do you know of a good way to incorporate these two tradition? blessed be

  • @HopeAngel777 Really interesting that you said this, because that is exactly what I'm now doing. I'm moving to Wales so I will be taking the Egyptian pantheon with me, and then showing respect to the Celtic pantheon (and I still do some celtic practices like may pole dancing ect). I will get round to a video on making this balance, when I have settled into it! :) x

  • so  if we want to offer something to a god or goddessthan we chant this

  • @Alexanderglamify The original was meant to give an Ancestor an offering to offer the God. But I changed it a little so it can just be offered to a God or Goddess :)

  • Wow!! My high priestess favors the Egyptian pantheonand aside from the occasional "hotep", I don't think even she tries to do her devotions in the ancient tongue.

    Nicely done. (Of course, the best thing about speaking a dead language is that there's no-one around to correct your pronunciation :))
