Aset, or Isis, in the Book of Going Forth By Day, aka The Book of the Dead

The Book of the Dead is the name given by Egyptologists to a group of mortuary spells written on sheets of papyrus covered with magical texts and accompanying illustrations called vignettes. These spells were influenced by and developed after the Pyramid Texts and Coffin Texts. The spells were originally designated by the Egyptians as the Book of the Coming Forth by Day, expressing the freedom granted to the spirit forms to come and go as they pleased in the afterlife. The Spells in this Book, like the Pyramid Texts and the Coffin Texts (which were named those by Egyptologists), primarily served to provision and protect the deceased. It is concerned with descriptions. and with practical help and magical assistance for the hereafter. 

Early examples of spells from the Book of the Dead are found on mummy cloths and coffins of the New Kingdom.

To be said by Aset:
Wesir N. hail to you as nursling of Aset. The Light shines within your mound. I have come that I may be your magical protection. I have wafted breath to your nose, the north wind that came forth from Atum. I have contracted your throat for you, I have caused you to exist as a god with your enemies under the soles of your feet. You have been vindicated in the sky before Ra, so that you are powerful among the gods, besides having a man’s eyes, that you may go (when the triumphant Heru goes). I have provided your protection.
