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.
Anubis is the ancient Egyptian god of mummification and the
afterlife. He is often depicted as a jackal-headed or a man with a jackal head.
Now in India the Jackal was considered to be a very evil
creature as it was a scavenger often of dead bodies. But during this time in
ancient kemet it was associated with a more natural aspect of death and thus
was embraced even revered.
Anubis was responsible for the protection of the
dead and the deceased's journey to the afterlife. He was also the god of
funerary rites and embalming, and was often depicted in funerary art, such as
tomb paintings and funerary statues.
Heh is a primordial deity and one of the eight Ogdoad. He is
coupled with Hauhetand is deppictred as
having the head of a frog, common in Ogdoad mythology, the the pair epitomized
the concept of humanity Infinity. He is often depicted greeting the rising sun
in the guise of a baboon. In other contexts he is depicted kneeling frequently
on a basket he represents the meta nature symbol for universality. He may carry
the UNC or hold the palm rubs in each hand
Hathor the Kemetic/Egyptian Goddess of Beauty and War is Hathor was often depicted as a cow, symbolizing her maternal and celestial aspect, although her most common form was a woman wearing a headdress of cow horns and a sun disk.Hesat is an ancient Egyptian goddess in the form of a cow. She was said to provide humanity with milk (called "the beer of Hesat") and in particular to suckle the pharaoh and several ancient Egyptian bull gods. In the Pyramid Texts she is said to be the mother of Anubis and of the deceased king.
Horus was the celestial Falcon and the embodiment of
kingship. The conflict between Horus and Seth the two Lords was an enduring
theme an Egyptian mythology.
The name Horace translates to meaning the distant onebut there were two main forms of Horace that
appear in Kemetic mythology.
These are sometimes regarded as separate gods belonging to
completely differentepox but sometimes
has aspects of the same deity.
Horace the great or Horace the elder was a primeval being
who initiated creation. As Lord of the Sky his wingspan the heaven, and his
eyes were the sun and the moon. This Horus was the son of a Sky goddess either
Nut or Hathor. Horace the younger was the son of Isis or Auset who grew up to
avenge his murder father who was Osiris and take his place as the ruler of Kemet.
He was usually shown as a Falcon headed man. He represented
Kingship Each King of Egypt was acclaimed as a living Horus.
Egypt's earliest Kings were shown as Hawks praying on their
enemies. Many Egyptian deities could be represented by birds of the Hawk
family. The hawk the cult of some of these gods such as Nekheny were gradually assimilated with that of Horus.
One of the earliest divine images known from image from
Egypt is that of a Falcon in a barque. This represents Horus as a star or
planet crossing the winding waterway of the Sky. And later text paint a
dazzling picture of “the one of dappled plumage who opened his eyes to dispel
both darkness and chaos”.
Like other primary primeval deities the celestial Falcon
coalesce with the creator son God.
He then became Ra Horakthy meaning Ra Horace of the double
horizon. He Who triumphed over his
enemies to rise in the East. The union of these two powers could be symbolized
by a Falcon Crowned with the sun disk or a sun disk with a falcon's wings.
When a King appeared to his subjects it was compared with
the glorious rising of Horace in the horizon. The two Lords, Horus and Seth
were depicted either as brothers or as nephew uncle. Many theories have advanced to explain the
origins of their combat from memories of an ancient civil War Two observations
of storms or astronomical phenomenon.
When the combatants are Horace the elder the celestial
Falcon and set the chaotic God of storms the conflict seems to belong to the
primeval age 1 opposing element come together to create a divine order. Thus
order dominating chaos.
The necessity of Horus and Seth being reconciled is stress
in many sources. one of the key images of Royal art was Horus the Uniter Set tying
together the plant of upper and lower Kemet to symbolize the union of the two
lands into one perfect Kingdom.
although the figure is sometimes replaced with Thoth
indicating that Set’s role as the Slayer of Osiris could not be overlooked.
When the great conflict is presented as a dynastic feud
between young Horace and his usurper uncle.
Horace must triumph and Seth must be punished so that just
kingship can be established for humanity. Horace who was son of Isis was
destined to be King from the moment of conception his epitaph Horus who is upon
the papyrus alludes to the myth that Auset hid the infant Horace in the papyrus
thickets of a hidden island among the Marshes. The nest of Horace was guarded
by divine beings such as a cow and scorpion goddess.
The young Horace grew up to become “the pillar of his mother”
and “the Avenger of his father”.
Advised by isis Horus
fought Seth in many different ways. He turn set sexual aggression to his own
advantage and overcame the temporary loss of power in his eye . Horace argued
his father's case before the divine tribunal led by Geb.
Osiris is granted sovereignty over the dead and Horace over
the living .
Horace the devoted son becomes the prototype for all
funerary priests and performs a series of rituals to rise up Osiris. He also
becomes an intermediary between the world of the living and the dead.
Horace is shown in the book of coming forth by day presenting
deceased souls before the throne of Osiris.
The reign of Horus as King of Egypt was considered the model for all subsequent
rains. The semi divine Kings who came after him in mythological history were
called the followers of Horus
In a few magical test
text a scorpion goddess called Ta Bitjet is called the wife of Horus.
A passage in the
coffin text makes Horus the elder and his sister Isis the parents of four
protective deities known as the sons of Horus. A festival at Edfu temple
celebrate the beautiful union between Horus and Hathor the lady of Dendera.
Here Horace is an aspect of the sun God uniting with the goddess to renew the
cosmos.
.A mythical history of temples relates how to mysterious
being subdued the primeval swamp by cutting down reads. When they struck a Reed
in the ground it became a perch for the celestial Falcon, Horus the Elder.
The Reed Hut built to house the Falcon was set to be the
center of the world and the first temple.
In the legend of the wing disc Horace the distant one takes
the role usually given to the distant goddess and transforms himself into a
fiery disc to blind and destroy the sun God's enemies. In the ritual drama
known as triumph of Horace. Horus the son of Isis harpoons Seth in his
hippopotamus form. After a series of battles by land and water he drives Seth
and his followers out of Egypt just as the
Egyptian Kings hoped to drive out foreign invaders.
Heqet is a frog goddess who helped women to give birth and
the dead to be reborn. The knife wielding frog shown on ivory wants or probably
hack at in her role as defender of women and children.
The beginning of her cult dates to the early dynastic period
at least. Her name was part of the names of some high-born Second Dynasty
individuals buried at Helwan and was mentioned on a stela of Wepemnofret and in
the Pyramid Texts. Early frog statuettes are often thought to be depictions of
her.
Hackett mistress of joy was among the followers of the Inundation
God Hapi when he brought the new life of Egypt each year.
Egyptians believed that frogs were spontaneously generated
from the mud left by the receding Nile flood. Heqet it came to be worshipped as
the goddess of the primeval slime who gave birth to the sun God.
She was regarded as a female counterpart to the creator God
canoe and the two are linked in a middle Kingdom Royal birth myth.
The sun God RA sends a group of deities to assist a woman
name Ruddaddet giving birth to three children who were destined to be Kings . 4
goddesses Isis, Nephthys, Meskhenet, and Hequet disguise themselves as dancing
girls while canoe pretends to be their servant.
At the House of Ruddadet her distraught husband asked him
for help because his wife's labor is so painful and difficult.
The deities locked themselves in the room with Ruddadet and Hequet
hastens the birth of the Royal triplets.
Isis names the children, Meskhennet predicts their fate Khnum make,
some strong and healthy.
The beauties create three crowns for the triplets and hide
them in a sack of Burley before returning to their divine realm.
The story implies that the children were sired by RA and
they grow to be the sun worshipping Kings of the 5th dynasty.
In new Kingdom Royal birth myths Hequet gives life to the
body and Ka of the Royal infant shaped
on the Potter's wheel of Khnum. And temples of the first Millennium BCE known
assisting goddess is giving birth to divine children.
At Abydos Haquet was revered for helping Isis bring Horus
into the world and for assisting the murdered God Osiris to be reborn. All
Egyptians hoped that after they died Hequet would act as a divine midwife to
their rebirth.
Solar barques were the vessels used by the sun god Ra in
ancient Egyptian mythology. During the day, Ra was said to use a vessel called
the Mandjet or the Boat of Millions of Years, and the vessel he used during the
night was known as the Mesektet.
Ra was said to travel through the sky on the barge,
providing light to the world. Each twelfth of his journey formed one of the
twelve Egyptian hours of the day, each overseen by a protective deity. Ra then
rode the barque through the underworld, with each hour of the night considered
a gate overseen by twelve more protective deities. Passing through all of these
while fending off various destructive monsters, Ra reappeared each day on the
eastern horizon. He was said to travel across the sky in the Mandjet Barque
through the hours of the day, and then switch to the Mesektet Barque to descend
into the underworld for the hours of the night.
The progress of Ra upon the Mandjet was sometimes conceived
as his daily growth, decline, death, and resurrection and it appears in the
symbology of Egyptian mortuary texts.
The Underworld Journey of Ra
1st gate: Sia, deification of perception,standing on the prow of the sun boat, invites
a snake called "Desert-Protector" to unlock the gate to the arrival
of Ra who, in the form of the god Atum (deification of the sunset sun ,
observes his enemies being massacred.
2nd gate: the guardian god is called "Swallower Of
Sinners" and his gate precedes a lake of fire.
3rd gate: its guardian snake is "Stinger" while
the portal itself is the goddess "Mistress Of Food"; some jackals
watch over the "Lake of Life" interdicted to the dead because it is
the place where Ra draws his breath.
4th gate: some deities carry ropes to measure the extension
of the netherworld fields — as well as, in the daily life of the Egyptians, the
measurement of the fields was carried out for tax purposes; this is also where
the four human ethnic groups (according to the Egyptians) were depicted: the
"cattle of Ra", i.e. Egyptians themselves, Levantines, Libyans and
Nubians.
5th gate: this gate is the goddess "Lady Of
Duration" while its guardian serpent is "Flame-Eyed"; this
access is inhabited by the perfidious demon Apep — embodiment of evil and chaos
(Isfet), bitter enemy of Ra — here
called "Evil Of Face". 20 deities manage to stem his devastating
power by continuing to dissect it, while the heads of those he devoured emerge
from his coils. The sun boat moves on and Ra leaves this dramatic region.
6th gate: Ra's boat approaches to seven jackal-headed poles
with two enemies bound to each one, waiting to be beheaded.
7th gate: this gate is the goddess "Shining One"
and beyond it there are 20 gods holding a rope ending in four whips, four
falcon heads and four human heads.
8th gate: this access is inhabited by a flaming snake who
burns up the enemies of Ausar.
9th gate: here stand Horus and Set on a hawk-headed lion.
10th gate: Apep appears again, but chained in order not to
harm Ra in his transit.
11th gate: this gate is called "Mysterious Of
Approaches" and is overseen by the cat-headed god Meeyuty (meow
onomatopoeia).
12th gate: here stand the goddesses Isis and Nephthys in the
form of snakes: the journey through the gates of the afterlife is finished and
the sun rises on the world in the form of a sacred scarab (Khepri, deification
of the morning sun.

The Astral Goddess
Sopdet (Sepdet, Sothis) personified the 'dog star' Sirius.
This star was the most important of the stars to the ancient Egyptians.
SOPDET,or SIRIUS, is
the brightest of all the fixed, stars, and is regarded as the most important
star in the sky, in Kemetic Beliefs,forming the astronomical foundation of their religious system,
delineating the rhythms, and cycles, by which they lived, and establishing its,
mysterious connection, with humanity.
The heliacal rising of this star came at the time of
inundation and the start of the Egyptian New Year.
As a goddess of the
inundation, she was a goddess of fertility. She also was linked to the pharaoh
and his journey in the afterlife.
In the mythology of the NTRs (who would latter be called
gods by the Greeks), the Sopdet star is their solar home. The source of not
only these enlightened being but was viewed as the ultimate source of knowledge.
This star can be seen from almost every inhabited region of Earths surface.
This celestial body was sacred to the Freemason and the
order of the Eastern star.
Even as early as the 1st Dynasty, she was known as 'the
bringer of the new year and the Nile flood'. When Sirius appeared in the sky
each year, the Nile generally started to flood and bring fertility to the land.
The ancient Egyptians connected the two events, and so Sopdet took on the
aspects of a goddess of not only the star and of the inundation, but of the
fertility that came to the land of Egypt with the flood. The flood and the
rising of Sirius also marked the ancient Egyptian New Year, and so she also was
thought of as a goddess of the New Year.
She is depicted as a nude figure wearing a conical white
crown of Lower Egypt surmounted by a star. Late in Egyptian mythology she
becomes largely syncretized with Isis.
heliacal rising of the bright star preceded the usual annual
flooding of the Nile.[8] It was therefore apparently used for the solar civil
calendar which largely superseded the original lunar calendar in the 3rd
millennium BC
During the Old Kingdom, she was an important goddess of the
annual flood and a psychopomp guiding deceased pharaohs through the Egyptian
underworld.
From the Middle Kingdom, Sopdet sometimes appeared as a god
who held up part of Nut (the sky or firmament) with Hathor.
She is also thought to be a guide in the afterlife for the
pharaoh, letting him fly into the sky to join the gods, showing him 'goodly
roads' in the Field of Reeds and helping him become one of the imperishable
stars. She was thought to be living on the horizon, encircled by the Duat.
was the deification of perception in the Heliopolitan Ennead
cosmogony and is probably equivalent to the intellectual energies of the heart
of Ptah in the Memphite cosmogeny. He also had a connection with writing and was
often shown in anthropomorphic form holding a papyrus scroll. This papyrus was
thought to embody intellectual achievements.
Sia is a deity belonging to the Heliopolitan Creation myth.
She represents “personification of mind” and “deification of wisdom” and she is
born from one drop of blood from Ra, the ancient Egyptian sun god. There exists
another god who is also born from one drop of blood from Ra, it is Hu and Hu is
the “deification of the word of creation”. Both Sia and Hu represents insight
and wisdom of Ra.
At the beginning of time, the god Atum emerged from the
swirling waters of chaos to stand on the first dry land, the primordial
ben-ben, to begin the act of creation.
The universe was created and given form by magical means,
and magic sustained both the visible and invisible worlds. Heka was thought to
have been present at creation and was the generative power Atum Ra drew upon in
order to create life.
To me belonged the universe before you gods came into being.
You have come afterwards because I am Heka" (Spell, 261).
Sia is the thought,
the idea the inspiration.
Hu is the execution of those idea through the spoken word.
Moreover, these three deities, Sia the Divine thought, Hu the
creative utterance, and Heka the generative force, accompany Ra to set the
order in the universe and maintain everything created. They are seen together
with the falcon-headed sungod standing in the sunboat as it travels across the
sky. This points to the mythical concept that every sunrise is equal to the
world being created anew.
Sia appeared standing on the solar barque during its journey
through the night in New Kingdom underworld texts and tomb decorations,
together with Hu, the "creative utterance," and Heka, the god of
magic. These gods were seen as special powers helping the creator, and although
Heka had his own cult Sia did not

Seshat, goddess of wisdom, knowledge, and writing. Scribe of
the gods. Credited with the invention of writing and the alphabet.
Seshat was the goddess who measured and recorded the world.
As “Lady of Builders” she was the matron of architecture
astronomy and mathematics. Known as she who was foremost in the library.
Seshat usually wears a Panther skin a symbol of priestly
office. She sometimes carries a palm frond carved with notches to mark the
passing of years.
As a goddess of writing session was the keeper of Royal
annals and genealogies. She was shown recording the booty game by Kings and
battle perhaps as a reminder that a share was due to the gods.
Seshat was even said to descend into the underworld to
record everything in the realm of the dead. From his early as the second
dynasty she was shown assisting Kings to layout the foundations for temples and
align them with the stars and planets.
In the divine realm Seshat
was in charge of building and the
mansions of the gods. She was sometimes assisted in this task by the gods of
sight and hearing.
Seshat also built mansions in the West for the fortunate
dead. She was occasionally identified as an aspect of the goddess Nephthys. In
the coffin texts sextette is said to be angry at a child she gives birth to just
as later tradition made Nephthys reject her son Anubis. And another coffin text
Thoth ans Seshat bring writing to a man
in the realm of the dead. These writings were spells that would help the dead
person to Vanquish terrors of the underworld and become a powerful spirit.
In later mythologies she is said to be the scribe of Hatshepsut
the 18th dynasty female Pharaoh.
Her mysterious headdress consists of a 7 pointed star or
seven petaled flower which is associated with the cannabis plant.
In it is written that Seshat opens the door to heaven for
you, is often translated as reference to the psychotropic effects of the
cannabis plant.
"Cannabis is mentioned as a medication in the following
ancient Egyptian medical texts: Ramesseum III Papyrus (1700 B.C.E.), Eber’s
Papyrus (1600 B.C.E.), the Berlin Papyrus (1300 B.C.E.), and the Chester Beatty
VI Papyrus (1300 B.C.E.). The Eber’s Papyrus is the oldest known complete
medical textbook in existence. Most scholars believe that it is copy of a much
earlier text, probably from around 3100 B.C.E."
A thus a modern veneration for the Goddess persist.
A Guardian deity associated with Egyptian upper kemit seems
to have been a associated as Horus was
His main role is one of the protectors of the eastern Sky in
which sun rises.
Anti is best known from coffin text circa 2000bce.
His worship is quite ancient, dating from at least the 2nd
dynasty, at which point he already had priests dedicated to his cult.
Originally, Anti appears to have been the patron of the ancient area around
Badari, which was the centre of the cult of Horus.
He is depicted as a falcon or a human with a falcon’s head.
he became considered simply as the god of ferrymen, and was
consequently depicted as a falcon standing on a boat, a reference to Horus, who
was originally considered as a falcon. As god of ferrymen, he gained the title
Nemty, meaning (one who) travels. His later cult centre Antaeopolis was known
as Per-Nemty (House of Nemty).
Anti appears in the tale The Contendings of Horus and Seth
which describes the settlement of the inheritance of Osiris, seen as a metaphor
for the conquest of Lower Egypt by Upper Egypt (whose patron was Seth), at the
beginning of the Old Kingdom.
In this tale, one of Seth's attempts to gain power consists
of his gathering together the gods, and providing good arguments, convincing
all of them (in later traditions, all except Thoth). Set fears magical
intervention by Isis, Horus' wife (in early Egyptian mythology), and so holds the
gathering on an island,
instructing Anti not to allow anyone resembling Isis to be
ferried there. However, Isis disguises herself as an old woman, and unknowingly
Anti takes her across after being paid a gold ring, having rejected the first
offer of gruel, resulting in the disruption of the council by her use of magic.
Anti is punished for his error, by having his toes cut off,
which is more severe than it appears, since as a falcon, he would no longer be
able to perch.
He would be appropriated into Greek myth as Antaeus.
