Famous evangelist, Billy Graham’s is probably in the final leg of his arduous trip to paradise about now.
Having traveled in a solar bark, Graham has passed through the closer underworld, which is inhabited by serpents armed with long knives, fire-spitting dragons and reptiles with five ravenous heads. Upon arriving in the realm of the Duat (Land of the Gods), Graham had to pass through seven gates, reciting accurately a magic spell at each stop. No doubt successful, he then arrived at the Hall of Osiris, the place of judgement.
Here the gods of the dead performed the “weighing of the heart” ceremony to judge whether the Graham’s earthly deeds were virtuous. The weighing of the heart was, or course, overseen by the jackal-headed god Anubis, and the judgement was recorded by Thoth, the god of writing.
In the coming days Forty-two gods will listen to Graham’s confessions If he claims to be innocent of crimes against the divine and human social order. Graham’s heart will be placed on a scale, counterbalanced by a feather that represents Maat, the goddess of truth and justice. If the pastor to President’s heart is equal in weight to the feather, he will be justified and achieved immortality. If not, his heart will be devoured by the goddess Amemet.
