House of the THirty

Court of Amen 7

 

This square is inscribed with the numeral 30. Traunecker and Lorton note that the Court of Amen comprised of a mabait, a total  of thirty deities. These thirty were comprised during Theban times of the Two Enneads, both numbering fifteen from Karnak.
My research identifies these two Enneads with the first 15 squares (15 House of Rebirth), and the second series of 15 finishing at square 30.

Various soul transformations (Khephering) are related to ritual Zenet:

From Zenet One (which gives a fuller analysis) 

May he see the sun, may he mingle with the stars, may he unite with the
gnh-stars of heaven.
May he follow Osiris in Ra-pekau at the Wag-feast.
May he act as steersman in the divine boat in which he is ferried.
May he grasp the md3.t.
May he take the stick to the stt of the snw.
May he rejoice the thirty with the s.nt-game,
the Mehen before him, his opponent has entered the Pr-nfr,
he hastens to go forth, for he has entered the lucky h3, and his heart is on the
House of the Gods;
he descends to the water.
He knows his strength (or "while he knows that he has strength [the
advantage?]").
He comes forth from the houses,
he hands over the dd and puts the tj.t in ….. of the lord of eternity.
He petitions the god on account of his opponent.

Seele: [B]
… work
Thou playest, thou goest forth …
thou reachest (?) (passest over to) pure august Mehen, son of Wnw.t.
You lift 2, and you find 3, while [his!] way is open, so that you may reach the deceased,
and everyone spits upon the pr-nfr.
Hasten thou, pour a libation at the pr-mw opposite to your second (opponent?)
for [me].
 

Seele: [C]

…. in the feast of his [lord],
the song which is sung in Thebes, while his lord entertains himself … T3-nfr,
…. T3-nfr, mayest thou be triumphant among the Thirty.
Mayest thou descend [to] thy pool; Ma'at …
Mayest thou move freely in the divine bark which travels to the T3-dsr.{t}   

 … Two Truths. 
Mayest thou address those who are in it.


This is the square of the Phoenix and royal regulatory priesthood when 
representing the Great Thirty, and is the square that reminds us why 
we should win at Senet. It is also worth bearing in mind the importance of the number seven, which is the number of the souls in Egyptian philosophy.

Seven parts of the soul in Egyptian metempsychosis can also be represented by the Seven games pieces of both players in Zenet . Variations of these exist, also Zenet has been played with five pieces each at certain times and places in Ancient Egypt.

Ka, the principle of the body:
Ba, the soul of the breath; 
Khaba, the Shade or astral likeness
Akhu, the Intelligence or perceptive power;
Seb, the ancestral soul;
Putah, the leader, or intellectual father;
and the Atmu, the divine or eternal soul.
