Anubis

Here is the standard prayer to Anubis in Dutch sorry if i got part wrong note Google translate sucks

oh je, die de opener van de middelen,
Hoor mijn stem.
Oh je, wiens oren doorboren de wand van de geluidshinder,
Hoor mijn stem.
Oh je, die lopen achteloos door de Winds of Fear
Hoor mijn stem.
U bent de Dark Leerling van de Zon,
De geïnformeerde Eclipse in de Iris van het Vuur;
Je bent de Seeing Darkness.
Guide me veilig door de verschrikkingen van mijn eigen niet ziende;
Weerhoud mij uit mijn onuitgesproken leed;
Terugkeren me veilig door de Poort van Becoming,
En open voor mij
De deur die toegeeft mensheid
Als de Eeuwige Tuin.
Oh je, die de opener van de middelen,
Loop met me mee

PRAYER TO ANUBIS
Oh you, who are the Opener of the Ways,
Hear my voice.
Oh you, whose ears pierce the Walls of Noise,
Hear my voice.
Oh you, who walk unheeding through the Winds of Fear
Hear my voice.

You are the Dark Pupil of the Sun,
The Knowledgeable Eclipse in the Iris of Fire;
You are the Seeing Darkness.
Guide me safely through the terrors of my own unseeing;
Preserve me from my unspoken sorrows;
Return me safely through the Gate of Becoming,
And open for me
The door that admits humankind
To the Eternal Garden.
Oh you, who are the Opener of the Ways,
Walk with me

ANUBIS
Anubis:Dog-God,or god with a dog's head,particularly responsible for embalming. In this capacity,he was charged with embalming Osiris,as well as with protecting his body both during and after it was embalmed. He was also the official guardian or cemetaries.
Daily Life of the Egyptian Gods:Dimitri Meeks and Christine Favard-MeeksTranslated by G.M.Goshgarian:1996 Cornell University Press.

"He is regarded as the son of Osiris and Nephthys, or the son of Re and Nephthys. Anubis was worshipped in the entire realm, but the center of his cult was in Cynopolis (Upper Egypt). In his role of psychopomp ("conductor of souls") he leads the souls of the deceased to the House of Osiris. As the Judge of the Dead, Anubis would take each person's heart and weigh it against the Feather of Truth (see: Ammit).
After the time of the Old Kingdom, Anubis was superseded by Osiris, who became the god of the dead, and Anubis was made his assistant. As the patron god of the funeral cult, Anubis is responsible for the embalming and mummification process, of which he is thought to be the inventor. He is also the protector of tombs."

Anubis knew that the deceased had overcome all the obsticles and was familiar,in the fullest sense of the word,with the geography of the hereafter; he had thus already become to some extent,part of it. Anubis assumed the role of intercessor between the new arrival and the assembly seated around Osiris; this was the ultimate tribunal.
While the candidate for beatitude cooled his heels at the door,Anubis recited before all present the good deeds that the deceased had told him he had done; Anubis concluded by turning toward the deceased and saying "May your weighing take place in our midst."
Before entering the great hall,the deceased had to state,one more time,the name of the gate he wished to pass through,as well as that of its lintel and threshold,so that Anubis might then proclaim,"Enter because you know."

Lord Anubis represents guidance. Lord Anubis was associated with Magic, particularly divination, was credited with the ability to see an individual's destiny; his image was on the bottom of divination bowls so that seers would be guided by him and the secrets of the future would be revealed. He was the one who led the dead to the afterlife, helping them steer clear of hazards on the long journey to the Land of the West. Lord Anubis could be said to be the result of the union of you with your hidden inner self.

As the guide of the dead through the Underworld, Lord Anubis can be regarded as your guide through all life passages. I have to say that he has been guiding me through mine.He holds the divine sceptre carried by Kings and gods. The god of embalming is probably associated with the Jackal due to the habits of the jackals to lurk about tombs and graves. This is the reason why most of the tombs were very well built to protect the body as a whole from the jackals lurking presence, and to protect the body natural decay inside the tomb. Lord Anubis works with Lady Ma'at with the judging scales of the deceased heart being judged by Lady Ma'at's feather of truth and cosmic order. For Lord Anubis will take the deceased to the scales, and the spirit of the deceased does see their heart being weighed. And then once being weighed and judged by Lady Ma'at's truth . They are judged by the loving Netjeru for approval to the Land of the West. Once approved Lord Anubis then escorts the deceased to their destination. Lord Anubis is full of love and caring for all that love the Netjeru.
