In the year one of his coronation as king

his majesty saw a dream by night: two

serpents, one upon his right, the other uponhis left. Then his majesty awoke and found

them not. His Majesty said: Wherefore has

this come to me? Then they (The two

goddesses) answered him, saying: Thine isthe southland; take for thyself (also) the

northland. The two goddesses (Wadjet and

Nekhbat) shine upon thy brow, the land isgiven to thee, in its length and its breadth. No

other divides it with thee. (Stele of

Tanutamon Dynasty 25)

The Kas of Unas are behind him; His Hemsut are

under his feet; His gods are over him; His uraeus-

serpents are over his head. The leading snake of

Unas is at his forehead, She who perceives the soul

(of the enemy), She who excels in the force of fire.

(Pyramid Text 396).

O Red Crown, O Inu, O great One, O Magician,

O Fiery Snake! Let there be terror of me like the

terror of thee. Let there be fear of me like the fear

of thee. Let there be awe of me like the awe of

thee. Let me rule a leader of the living. Let me be

powerful, a leader of spirits.
