    Festival of B'ab'ai 
    Source: The Cairo Calendar No. 86637

    B'ab'ai (Babi) is the bloodthirsty bull (alpha male) baboon Natjar deity. "Red of ear and purple of hindquarters" - Pyramid Text 1349.   His phallus is the bolt that holds the doors of heaven for the Pharaoh's ascension of the afterlife, as well as the mast of the Ferryboat to the Dwa'at Netherworld. Because of this, spells are cast in invoking B'ab'ai for successful sexual virility in the afterlife.
    His darker side is his insatiable hunger for human entrails and murders without hesitation for them. B'ab'ai also has certain warding abilities for snakes and other poisonous creatures.
