Constantine 1×11: A Whole World Out There

Spell to travel to other realms/planes of existence or for out of body travel. The Egyptian Dream Temple Technique was used.

“Doo-wat ak-em ka ren el-bee shoit. Doo-wat ak-em ma-at.”

(If anyone happens to have a transcription of the entire command/spell used, please let me know. Thank you)

I can only make out three words:
1. “Duat” – The realm ruled by Osiris; the Underworld;
2. “Aken” – The name of the custodian (ferryman) of the boat that carried souls into the Underworld;
3. “Ma’at” – A concept of equilibrium and justice; sometimes personified as a Goddess

Also ‘Khem’, which can mean either Wise, Dark or Egypt, depending on inflection

Update #1 from @thehallofjudgment:

The incantation you have (the Astral Travel one) is purely phonetic, how the words should be pronounced. The best way I can think of it is this:

Duat Aken, Ka, Ren, Ba, Ib, Sheut,
Duat Aken Ma’at.

Duat – a metaphysical Spirit World, where everything connnected to Egyptian magic and afterlife seems to occur. It contains the Egyptian paradise (Aaru).

Aken – as mentioned before, the ferryman of the dead (compare with Greek Charon).

Ka, Ren, Ba, Ib, and Sheut – five parts of a human soul, according to the Ancient Egyptians. “Ka” is the spark of life, the only part that distinguishes the living from the dead. “Ren” is the name, the essence of a living being. “Ba” is personality, what makes the person unique. “Ib” is the heart, the sum of good and bad deeds (A person’s Ib is later judged by Osiris, to see if they’re worthy of paradise). Finally, “Sheut” is the shadow – an imprint of the person in both the physical world and Duat. If nothing else, I’d compare it to a failsafe program – a small piece of the soul is hidden inside the shadow.

Ma’at is both an Egyptian goddess of order, as well as the concept of balance and harmony itself.

When all of those elements are put together, we may conclude that this spell is a prayer to Akem the Ferryman, to guide the person (all five parts of them) through Duat safely (“with Ma’at”)
