The Ancient Gods have returned!

Articles by "Chaos"

Set, also known as Seth and Suetekh, was the Egyptian god of war, chaos, and storms, brother of Osiris, Isis, and Horus the Elder, uncle to Horus the Younger, and brother-husband to Nephthys. His other consort was the goddess Tawaret, a hippo-headed deity who presided over fertility and childbirth.

 

He is one of the first five gods created by the union of Geb (earth) and Nut (sky) after the creation of the world. His name is usually translated as "instigator of confusion" and "destroyer" and he was associated with disorder, foreign lands and people, and the color red.

 

He is sometimes depicted as a red-haired beast with a forked tail and cloven hooves or a shaggy red dog-like beast known as a sha (or, to modern-day scholars, as the Set Animal) which some scholars claim was modeled on the Saluki breed while others maintain was a purely mythological creature imagined specifically to represent Set whose other symbols were the griffin, hippopotamus, crocodile, and tortoise (though he was primarily associated with the serpent). His epithets include "Lord of the Desert" and "Ruler of the South" as he was originally a god of Upper Egypt (the south) and the barren lands beyond Egypt's borders.

 

 In the Early Dynastic Period of Egypt Circa  3150 bce to 2613 BCE.  he was an important - and benevolent - god of Upper Egypt whose name was invoked for love spells and inscribed on amulets which served as love charms. He was also the deity who saved the sun god Ra from the serpent Apophis, an evil creature who tried to stop the sun god's journey through the night sky toward dawn.



Set vs Thor battle of the Storm Gods Set and Thor both have connections to the storm. Although Set is definitively associated with chaos in his pantheon. And Thor spends his entire life fighting against the forces of chaos. As chaos would take the form of his sibling the frost giant Loki. But both of these are supreme warriors. Set being known as the one who slays the enemies of raw. And Thor of course being the champion of Asgard. Putting these two deities in a fight only seems natural.

Chaos is represented in most belief systems. It is the state from which all existence initially comes. And at the same time the force that threatens to consume us all. Being in a primordial ooze or a vibrating string.

Chaos is possibility it is potential,

 

It is unpredictable and enigmatic. Chaos is both the spark of life that came from the vibrations of the ancient deities of the Ogdoad Cosmology and the force that would ultimately overwhelm the 9 realms at the time of Ragnarok.

 

Chaos

What is the full meaning of chaos?

any confused, disorderly mass

a state of utter confusion or disorder; a total lack of organization or order. any confused, disorderly mass: a chaos of meaningless phrases.

 

Chaos theory is a branch of mathematics focusing on the study of chaos —is an interdisciplinary theory stating that, within the apparent randomness of chaotic complex systems, there are underlying patterns, interconnectedness, constant feedback loops, repetition, self-similarity, fractals, and self-organization.[3] The butterfly effect, an underlying principle of chaos, describes how a small change in one state of a deterministic nonlinear system can result in large differences in a later state (meaning that there is sensitive dependence on initial conditions). A metaphor for this behavior is that a butterfly flapping its wings in Texas can cause a hurricane in China.

 

In Germanic tradition chaos or more actually the struggle against chaos (Chaoskampf is typically defined by the depiction of a culture hero battling a chaos monster most often in the form of a serpent of dragon.

As we would see in Thor’s battle against the Midgard serpent. Nut this is a microcosm of the Norse beliefs. The Aesir constantly fought the forces of chaos. And as predicted in its most famous story, the prophecy called Ragnarök. Chaos would win the.

 

North African parallels would include Maat vs Isfet and Horus the younger battling his uncle Set.

Set was the most famous representation of the chaos force. He was dangerous and claimed the life of his brother Ausar. His reign reflected a time of difficulties in the empire.

But we was an important figure in the protection of  Ra on his nightly voyage to the underworld.

 

 most Greek cosmologies tell us – the very first of all, the origin of everything, the empty, unfathomable space at the beginning of time.

 

in the beginning, Chaos was all that there was, the dark majesty and mystery of creation incarnate. And that it was from Chaos that the first three primordial gods sprang forth: the wide-bosomed Gaea (Earth), Tartarus (the Underworld), and Eros (Love), the fairest among the deathless gods. Erebus (Darkness) and Nyx (Night). True, their sexual union would produce luminous offspring – Aether (the Divine Air) and Hemera (the Day).

We can not ignore the association of chaos and dark matter of which accounts for 85% of the matter in the universe and a quarter of its mass.
