Initiates of the Nile

KARNAK TEMPLE - EGYPT

The Initiate approaches the Karnak Temple suitably attired in White robes (Gallibeyas are most suitable).


The 'Secret Temples'
are approached only by those who know they are there.


 

The temple of Osiris-Haka-Djet - (A)

The Osiris-Haka-Djet

Temple being located at the East wall at the back of the Karnak complex, with its entrance door on the North wall.
The 'Keeper' must be summoned and if worthy will unlock the outer door.
On entering you will find within the first room are the Seven 'Doors within Doors’ on the South wall.


The 'Keeper' here takes the Initiates hand, and leads him through an initiation, touching each of the seven doors starting at the outer and continuing to the centre, after touching each door returning the touch to Initiate's forehead.

On the East wall the carving of ISIS, OSIRIS and NEPHTHYS.


The Initiate is then led into the next room through the opening at the right of the seven doors on the Southern wall, within the small temple. here at the back wall, the Initiate recognises the seven Ankh’s forming a pyramid. These are the ‘Keys!’

The temple of Ptah - Sekhemet - (B)

Here a second 'Keeper' is summoned from his lofty perch on the North temple boundary wall, who, after holding out his hand for the customary Baksheesh, leads the way into the temple courtyard from the West. Here, he unlocks a large door into the temple itself on the East wall, revealing in the centre a headless statue of Ptah, the 'Keeper' turns and opens a door to his right (South), the room behind is dark. The 'Keeper' bades the Initiate to enter, and as the Initiates eyes become accustomed to the dark, he will make out, at the top (East) of the room, a large, complete statue of Sekhemet.
The only illumination, comes from a small opening in the roof, directly above the statue.
