virility. Babi controls the darkness and was called
upon by the ancient Egyptians to give protection
in the Underworld against snakes and dangerous
waterways. His penis is the bolt on the doors that
opens up the heavens and is also used as a mast
on the Underworld ferry.
During the Weighing of the Heart ceremony,

in the Hall of Double Truths, the deceased would
use spells of protection against the vicious and
bloodthirsty Babi, as he devoured human entrails
and unworthy souls.
