Pale Shades of the UnBlessed Dead

None Shall Enter Without the Knowledge

Which is Given to Few to Possess



Not for Us to Sekhet Aaru

Our Souls Will be Cut to Pieces with Sharp Knives

Tortured Devoured

Consumed in Everlasting Flames



We Shall Never Be The Blessed Dead

What of those who could not afford the extravagant tombs, mummification, magickal amulets, and costly papurys texts on which were written the necessary spells for successfully navigating the underworld? Even linen, which was used to wrap the mummies, was so expensive in anci
