Magic:
Throughout the literature of ancient Egypt, from the Pyramid Texts to the Book of the Dead, there is a lot of evidence that ancient Egyptians thought that human beings could become deities. Deities were seen as possessing heku, magic,
an aspect of the original creative power that formed the cosmos.
 History of Magic in Egypt

Many incantations would be repeated before performing a ceremony, such as the ritual of opening the mouth.  Below is a part of that chant:

Un re-a an Ptah, uau netu, uau netu, aru re-a an neter nut-a.
          I arefm Djewhty, meh aper em heka, uau netu, uau netu, en Suti sau re-a.
          Khesef-tu Tem uten-nef senef sai set.

          Un re-a, apu re-a an Shu em nut-ef tui ent baat en pet enti ap-nef re en neteru am-es.
          Nuk Sekhet! Hems-a her kes amt urt aat ent pet.
          Nuk Sakhu! Urt her-ab baiu Annu.
          Ar heka neb t'etet neb t'etu er-a sut, aha neteru er-sen paut neteru temtiu.

          May Ptah give me voice, remove the wrappings! Remove the wrappings which the lesser gods
          have placed over my mouth.
