~ HORUS ~ Lord of the Skies


Now this God is a very interesting character - there are the associations with Jesus and Christianity, and the Divination kit I am using to learn about them is named after him. You see the pictures of the eye everywhere - lol and even as tattoos. There is something about Horus - but what? Where do we start?

Who was Horus?
  • Son of Osiris and Isis.
  • The visionary - the lord of prophecy, music, art, humour and beauty.
  • Originally the god of hunting people, represented by the falcon.
  • He later became identified with the sun - and as a symbol for the Pharaoh archetype.
  • The Sky god Horus's left eye was the moon and the right eye was the sun.
  • He is the all-seeing eye of clairvoyant ability, heightened vision and expanded awareness.
  • The four elements, Air, Water, Earth and Fire are at his command.
  • Represents the balance of the natural world, linked to the eastern horizon and foreign lands.
  • His colour is Yellow.
(Lawson 1996)
