The ancient Egyptian god Thunder was healed with the talisman Oujad after losing his left eye and plunging into the world of the dead. Another ancient deity - Osiris - with his help was resurrected after death. From that moment on, the image of the eye was recognized as a protective amulet, endowed with the power of healing and restoration.

The ancient Egyptian symbol Wadget is also called "Eye of Horus" and "Eye of Ra", all of which are synonyms, each of which, however, has its own semantic range. But it must be said right away that the name "all-seeing eye Wadget" is fundamentally wrong, since the "all-seeing eye" is a fundamentally different, albeit similar symbol.

At the same time, the Eye of the God Horus is in fact one of the brightest esoteric signs of ancient Egyptian culture. The Eye of Horus symbol is no less popular than, say, the Ankh or the Wand of Was. Nevertheless, the Egyptian Eye of Horus is shrouded in many secrets and most modern interpretations of its symbolism (as well as interpretations of the original legend) have nothing to do with the real state of affairs. So what does the Eye of Horus really mean? Well, let's start with a mythological basis.

It is curious that the epic of Ancient Egypt has preserved to this day many texts in which the symbol of the Eye of Horus is mentioned. Actually, at the moment there are three archaeological artifacts-primary sources, from which we can learn what Wadget is. All three texts say that the Eye of Horus is ... really the Eye of Horus (!), Which the solar god (son of Ra) lost in the battle with Set. By the time these legends arose (not earlier than the 19th dynasty), Seth had already been demonized and represented the antagonist of Horus. Regarding the fact that Horus lost his eye, the texts searched vary: one text states that the Eye of Wadget was torn out and swallowed by Set in battle. The second text says that Seth plucked out the eye of the god Horus and trampled it. According to the third version, Seth simply pierced the torn out Wadget with his finger. One way or another, but the Egyptian eye of Horus symbolically indicates an element cut off from the divine principle, but still belonging to him. It is also worth paying attention to the fact that we are talking about a fight (and not about a voluntary sacrifice, as, for example, in the case of Odin's eye and Mimir).

Further in one of the texts it is said that Hathor (the goddess of the sky and the wife of Horus), or (according to another version) the god of wisdom, Thoth was able to restore the "all-seeing" eye of Wadzhet with the help of gazelle milk. But there is another text, it says that Wadget (the meaning of which is not considered here from the point of view of symbolism) was buried by Anubis (then he, and not Osiris, was the ruler of the Duat). According to this legend, the Eye of Horus (photo, images of the symbol are presented below) gave shoots from which a vine emerged. In the future, none of the legends contradicts the other, "agreeing in opinion" regarding the fact that later the eye of Horus (the meaning of the image is clearly manifested here) was used by the falcon god (as Horus was sometimes called) to resurrect his father, Osiris (yes, and Ra, too, was Horus's dad, everything is complicated there). Horus put Wadget into the mouth of Osiris (previously dismembered by Set) and the body of the god of the underworld instantly grew together, just as it had previously happened with the eye itself. Probably, it is with this legend that one very important element of the funeral ritual is associated: the Wadget symbol (whose significance for the tradition of Ancient Egypt is difficult to overestimate) was applied to the body of the deceased near the hole through which the entrails were taken out in the process of mummification. The priests believed that this would facilitate the subsequent resurrection. Moreover, every month a special ceremony was held, during which the ritual Eye of Horus was "restored". Astrologically, the rite was based on the lunar cycles.

So what does the Eye of Horus mean, and does this symbol have a specific semantic layer? Here it should be borne in mind that Set in the fight tore out the left Eye of Horus, which was associated with the Moon (while the right one - with the Sun). In fact, the ancient Egyptian astronomers attributed the lunar phases to the damage to the Wadget. Subsequently, Wadget became fully an amulet, that is, a sacred object with a very specific set of unique properties. The Eye of Horus amulet embodied wide range "Divine" principles, in particular, he was a symbol of fertility, prosperity, fortitude, unity, family and power. That is why the Eye of Horus amulet was worn by everyone, without exception, and pharaohs, and warriors, and ordinary people. In fact, the Eye of Horus (a photo of the modern reconstruction of the amulet is presented below) is the most universal (as opposed to the same Ankh) sacred sign, which bore specifically protective functions. Wadzhet bestowed good luck in business and the blessing of Horus to everyone who wore it.

Graphically, the Eye of Horus looks like a "mixture" of the human eye and the falcon eye. The corresponding hieroglyph has two meanings - "eye" and "protect". That is, we again return to the amulet function, which is hidden even in the outline of the hieroglyph denoting the desired symbol. Today it is not difficult to buy the Eye of Horus. This symbol is used to decorate pendants, necklaces, rings and many other accessories. But buying the Eye of Horus does not mean really touching the ancient knowledge. The symbol can indeed be bought, but no money can buy its power, which is based to a greater extent not even on the person's faith, but on the understanding of the sacred processes associated with this symbol, hidden in him. That is why if you decide to buy the Eye of Horus and make an amulet out of this purchase, do not rush. Read the relevant literature (preferably primary sources), because according to the ancient Egyptian canon, the use of a symbol without taking into account its understanding and awareness entailed the wrath of Maat (the goddess of truth).

As for the Eye of Horus tattoo, one thing can be said for sure - there is no historical evidence to indicate that the ancient Egyptians made such tattoos for themselves. It was said above that such symbols were applied to the bodies of the dead, but, firstly, with paint (that is, this is not a tattoo at all). The Eye of Horus, the meaning of which seems to be obvious, was painted only on the deceased, and this must also be taken into account when it comes to a tattoo. In other words, the Eye of Horus is a tattoo, the meaning of which can have a whole layer of specific meanings. It can be assumed that if there is a Wadget on a person's body, it means that he is dead. In the end, it was not for nothing that the symbol of the Eye of Horus was used only as a "material" amulet, and did not "stuff" it for oneself (although in Ancient Egypt they knew about tattoos and widely used them). In general, when making such a tattoo, you need to be clearly aware that it can probably be risky.

Eye of Horus

Wadget is an ancient Egyptian symbol that represents a hawk eye knocked out of Horus during his fight with Set. Symbolized the moon, whose phases were attributed to damage during the legendary battle. Represents various spheres of the world order, from royalty to fertility.

The Eye, or the Eye of Horus, which is also called Atshet or the All-Seeing Eye, the Eye of Healing, has always meant secret wisdom and clairvoyance, personified protection, healing from illness and resurrection after death. One of the legends tells about the case when Set killed Osiris, Horus resurrected Osiris, giving him his eye to eat, which was cut into pieces by Set, which God Thoth spliced \u200b\u200band revived.

The Eye of Horus is depicted as an eye with an eyebrow and a spiral. Many researchers explain this part of the Eye as a symbol of energy and eternal life, eternal motion. The Eye is often depicted in color using blue, blue-green, green and red.

Amulets in the shape of the eye of Horus were worn by both the pharaohs and simple people... They were placed in the shroud of the mummies, so that the deceased would be resurrected in the Afterlife.

The surviving ancient Egyptian texts brought to us various versions of the myth about the oke of Horus. According to one of them, Seth pierced the eye of Horus with his finger, according to the other, he stepped on it, according to the third, he swallowed it. One of the texts says that Hathor (or Tefnut) restored her eye by giving it milk of gazelles. Another reports that Anubis buried an eye on the side of a mountain, where he gave shoots in the form of a vine.

Horus used the reborn eye to resurrect his father Osiris. After Osiris swallowed the eye of Horus, his dismembered body grew together just as happened with the eye itself. With a view to assisting in the resurrection, images of Horus's eye were applied to Egyptian mummies at the hole through which the entrails were taken out of them. The rituals of "restoration" of the eye of Horus, associated with the lunar cycle, were held monthly in the temples of Egypt.

“Isis conceived Horus from the dead Osiris, who was killed by the desert god Seth, his brother. Having retired deep into the swampy delta of the Nile, Isis gave birth and raised a son, Horus, who, having matured, in a dispute with Seth, achieves recognition of himself as the sole heir of Osiris.

In a battle with Set, the killer of his father, Horus is defeated - Set tore out his eye, the wonderful Eye, but then Horus defeated Set and deprived him of his masculinity. His wonderful Eye of Horus gave his father to swallow, and he came to life. After defeating Seth, Horus's eye grew again. The resurrected Osiris handed over his throne in Egypt to Horus, and he himself became the king of the afterlife. "

The hieroglyphs of the divine eye in Egyptian writing are translated as "eye" and "protect". Thus, the general meaning of this sign is: "guarding the eye". Apparently, the outline of this symbol reflects both the features of the human eye and the features of a falcon.

In one of the elements of the Wadget, scientists see a symbolic image of a falcon - the embodiment of Horus.

In Egyptian arithmetic, the components of the Wadget were used to write fractions from 1/2 to 1/64, and were also used to measure capacities and volumes.

The proportions of the Eye of Ra:

Divine Eye Proportions:

most of the eye: 1/2 (or 32/64)

pupil: 1/4 (or 16/64)

eyebrow: 1/8 (or 8/64)

smaller part of the eye: 1/16 (or 4/64)

teardrop: 1/32 (or 2/64)

badge of the falcon: 1/64

Wadget: 63/64

The eye was depicted on Egyptian headstones to help the dead in the afterlife. Often the Eye was also depicted on the amulet king cobraguarding him. Also, Wadget was depicted on the bow of boats so that they did not go astray. The Eye of Horus served as the prototype of the painted eyes, which were inserted into the statues and masks of the dead in order to "revive" them and infuse the soul during the ritual of "opening the mouth and eyes."

“Your soul descends on the sacred sycamore tree, you call out to Isis, and Osiris hears your voice, and Anubis comes to call you. You receive the oil of the country of Manu, which came from the East, and Ra rises above you at the gates of the horizon near the sacred doors of Neith. You pass them, your soul is now in the higher heavens, and your body is in the lower ones ... O Osiris, may the Eye of Horus transmit forever that which blossoms in it, to you and your heart! " After these words were spoken, the ceremony was repeated once more. Then taken out of the body internal organs they were placed in the "liquid of the sons of Horus" for impregnation, the corresponding texts were read over them and placed in burial vessels.

Maspero G. “The Ritual of Embalming” (“Le Rituel de I’Embaumement”) is an ancient Egyptian papyrus containing a description of a part of the ceremony of “opening the lips and eyes”.

The left hawk eye of Horus symbolizes the Moon, the right - the Sun, the spiral - eternal life. The left eye was damaged in the fight with Set - and this explains the lunar cycle and inconsistent phases of the moon. All seeing eye Horus was also associated by the Egyptians with the North Star, as a symbol of illumination. Eye and eyebrow - strength and power, left and right eye - North and South, Sun and Moon, heavenly space.

Eyes of Horus

Plato, the ancient Greek philosopher, called Wadget the main solar instrument, believing that every soul has an Eye that knows the truth. The Eye of Horus is intelligence, protection, mysticism, vigilance.

Since the beginning of time, people have used talismans with various symbols to protect themselves from evil forces and gain the support of good deities. One of the most powerful amulets that can really help its owner is the Eye of Horus, which was well known to the inhabitants of Ancient Egypt. His modified images are found on christian churches, American dollars and Masonic symbols. And today, many people believe that such a talisman brings good luck and protects from all kinds of troubles. Why has the Eye of Horus maintained its popularity for millennia?

Myths and legends of Ancient Egypt

Wadget (Eye of Horus or Eye of Ra) is a mystical symbol that serves as a powerful amulet. According to legend, the left eye of the supreme deity of Ancient Egypt, who was portrayed as a man with a falcon's head, is able to raise the dead.

As you know, Horus is the son of the supreme god Osiris and his wife Isis. He was born after the insidious Set, personifying death and destruction, killed his own brother in order to personally lead the pagan pantheon. Wishing to avenge the death of his father, who was cunningly dismembered and could not resurrect, as is typical of the gods, Horus fought with his uncle. In a duel, the more experienced Seth deprived the falcon god of his left eye.

True, help immediately arrived to the heir. Some sources claim that the damaged eye was healed by the god Anubis; in other ancient Egyptian papyri deciphered by researchers, it is said that the goddess Hathor took on this noble mission. One way or another, Horus decided to donate his left eye to resurrect his father. Thanks to the tremendous vitality contained in the divine ocea, the body of Osiris has grown together again.

True, the father of the young falcon decided to stay in the world of the dead and justly rule there, punishing the souls of sinners. And Horus became the supreme ruler of the living world, inheriting the throne of his father after the overthrow of the usurper Set.

It is noteworthy that a similar plot is present in Scandinavian mythology, although the head of the local pagan pantheon Odin gave his eye as a kind of sacrifice to the titan Mimir, and in return he allowed the deity to drink from the source of great wisdom.

People have always believed that representatives higher worlds able to see everything, even hidden behind seven seals. Therefore, their eyes in the minds of ordinary mortals were endowed with tremendous power. Horus occupied a special place in the pagan pantheon of Ancient Egypt, it was not for nothing that the sun god Ra was considered one of the incarnations of the mighty falcon.

The right eye of the son of Osiris was associated with the daylight, and the left eye with the night one. Since the moon is constantly changing, disappearing from the sky and returning to it again, initially the myth of lost eye The mountain explained the various phases of the night star. The moon disappeared - it was Horus who lost his eye.

The very word "wadget" in the ancient Egyptian script consists of two hieroglyphs: "protect" and "eye". That is, even then this symbol was used by people as a powerful amulet.

The All-Seeing Eye watches over everyone

Interestingly, the story of the goddess Isis, forced to hide from Seth's minions with the infant Horus, who eventually became supreme deity Egypt, surprisingly echoes the New Testament. The Mother of God with the newborn Jesus in her arms, even in iconography, was often depicted in almost the same way as the ancient Egyptian goddess with the son of Osiris was painted on the walls of the tombs of the pharaohs.

Therefore, it is not surprising that the Eye of Horus also found its reflection in Christian teaching, transforming into the All-Seeing Eye, framed by a triangle, which symbolizes the Holy Trinity. The image of the eye can be seen on the walls of many Catholic, Protestant and Orthodox churches, chapels, cathedrals. For Christians all over the world, this symbol means that the Almighty sees all the actions of people, he closely monitors each person.

In the Renaissance, when European philosophers were rethinking medieval beliefs, the image of the eye was called the Eye of Providence. The symbolism of the inevitability of punishing justice, which knows all the hidden sins of people, faded into the background. This sign began to be associated with the support of higher forces, which will always see that a person is in a difficult situation and needs help.

On the portico of the Kazan Cathedral in St. Petersburg and on the bas-relief of the Alexander Column, installed on the Palace Square of the northern capital, as well as on some other monuments of Russian architecture, you can see the image of the All-Seeing Eye. It is engraved on most of the 19th century military medals awarded to soldiers and officers of the Russian army.

Freemasons and the Great Seal of the United States

The occult societies of Europe and North America also made extensive use of the Eye of Horus in their symbolism. For example, for the Freemasons who called themselves freemasons, the mythology of Ancient Egypt was something like a hidden sacred knowledge. They depicted an eye, from which rays of light emanated down to the ground. This interpretation of the ancient symbol was called "Radiant Delta". She served the Masons as the personification of the Creator's enlightenment and was supposed to illuminate the way for new adepts of the occult teachings, marking the initial stage of initiation.

The image of the Radiant Delta was first published in 1797 in The Freemason Observer, written by Thomas Smith Webb. It is noteworthy that a similar symbol appeared on the back of the Great Seal of the United States several years earlier, which gives various conspiracy theorists the opportunity to assert that the Freemasons stood at the origins of American statehood.

The fact is that the newly formed country was in dire need of its own heraldic signs. Work on the national emblem, which was supposed to confirm the sovereignty of the United States, began as early as 1776. Members of Congress and heraldic artists were involved in the creation of the sketch. One such consultant was Francis Hopkinson, the creator of the Stars and Stripes flag and coat of arms of New Jersey. It was he who suggested on the reverse of the Great Seal of the United States to depict a truncated pyramid with the Eye of Providence hovering above it. The sketch of the state symbol was approved by Congress on June 20, 1782.

From the Great Seal of the United States, the image of the Eye of Horus migrated to the 1 dollar bill. According to many occultists, in this way the Americans achieved the prosperity of their economy: they enlisted the support of higher powers.

In addition, the Eye of Horus was often depicted on their ships by sailors from different countrieshoping it will keep them safe from storms and storms.

Modern meaning

Many tourists who have visited modern Egypt bring with them amulets that depict the Eye of Horus. This symbol can often be seen on jewelry, bijouterie. It is not always the left eye of the falcon god that is engraved on bracelets, pendants, earrings, symbolizing the Moon and sharpening intuition. It is believed that the image of the right eye associated with the Sun can also be used as an amulet bringing good luck.

The eye of the falcon god, as experts in symbolism believe, is able to protect a person from various diseases, problems and the evil eye of envious people. This ancient symbol helps young people find the right path in life, and businessmen with its help manage to conclude profitable deals. The Eye of Horus endows leaders with wisdom and inspiration for creative people. True, such amulets help only those who believe in their mystical power.

So, from the dawn of civilization to the present day, people have become accustomed to counting and relying on the support of this symbol. Many people think that the prosperity of the United States is connected precisely with the Eye of Horus, depicted on the Great Seal of this country.

“And since he helps the Americans, then we will benefit too,” people argue.
