And today, many people believe that such a talisman brings good luck and protects from all sorts of troubles. Why has the Eye of Horus remained popular for thousands of years?

Myths and legends of Ancient Egypt

Wadjet (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 depicted as a man with the head of a falcon, is capable of resurrecting 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. Wanting to avenge the death of his father, who was treacherously dismembered and could not be resurrected, as is typical of the gods, Horus fought with his uncle. In a duel, the more experienced Set 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; other ancient Egyptian papyri, deciphered by researchers, say that the goddess Hathor took upon herself this noble mission. One way or another, Horus decided to donate his left eye to resurrect his father. Thanks to the huge vitality, imprisoned in the divine eye, the body of Osiris grew together again.

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

It is noteworthy that in Scandinavian mythology there is a similar plot, 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 capable of seeing everything, even hidden behind seven seals. Therefore, their eyes in the minds of mere mortals were endowed with enormous 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 daylight, and the left one – with the night one. Since the Moon is constantly changing, disappearing from the sky and returning to it again, initially the myth of the lost eye of Horus explained the various phases of the night luminary. The moon disappeared - it was Horus who lost his eye.

The word “wadjet” itself in ancient Egyptian writing consists of two hieroglyphs: “to protect” and “eye”. That is, even then this symbol was used by people as a powerful amulet.

The All-Seeing Eye watches over everyone

It is interesting that the story of the goddess Isis, forced to hide from the minions of Set with the baby Horus, who eventually became the supreme deity of 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 was reflected 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, and cathedrals. For Christians all over the world, this symbol means that the Almighty sees all the actions of people, he carefully monitors every person.

During the Renaissance, when European philosophers rethought medieval beliefs, the image of the eye began to be called the Eye of Providence. The symbolism of the inevitability of punitive justice, which knows all the hidden sins of people, faded into the background. This sign has become associated with support higher powers who 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 Palace Square in the northern capital, as well as on some other monuments of Russian architecture, you can see the image All-Seeing Eye. It is engraved on most military medals of the 19th century, which were awarded to soldiers and officers of the Russian army.

Freemasons and the Great Seal of the United States

Occult societies of Europe and North America also widely used the Eye of Horus in their symbolism. For example, for the Masons, who called themselves free masons, the mythology of Ancient Egypt was something like 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 the “Radiant Delta”. She served the Masons as the personification of the Creator’s enlightenment and was supposed to illuminate the path for new adherents of occult teachings, marking the initial stage of initiation.

The first image of the Radiant Delta was published in 1797 in the book The Freemason Observer, written by Thomas Smith Webb. It is noteworthy that on the back of the Great Seal of the United States, a similar symbol appeared several years earlier, which gives various conspiracy theorists the opportunity to claim 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 symbols. Work on a national emblem, which was supposed to confirm the sovereignty of the United States, began back in 1776. Both members of Congress and heraldry artists were involved in the creation of the sketch. One of these consultants was Francis Hopkinson, the author of the Stars and Stripes and the coat of arms of the state of New Jersey. It was he who proposed to depict a truncated pyramid with the Eye of Providence hovering above it on the reverse of the Great Seal of the United States. 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 bill. According to many occultists, in this way the Americans achieved prosperity in 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 countries, hoping that this will protect them from storms and storms.

Modern meaning

Many tourists who visit modern Egypt bring with them amulets that depict the Eye of Horus. This symbol can often be seen on jewelry and costume jewelry. The left eye of the falcon god is not always engraved on bracelets, pendants, and 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 to bring good luck.

The eye of the falcon god, as symbolism experts believe, can protect a person from various diseases, problems and evil eye 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 bestows wisdom on leaders, and creative individuals brings inspiration. True, such amulets only help those who believe in their mystical power.

This is how, 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 reason.

From Ancient Egypt, through millennia, one of the most popular protective symbols came to our culture. This is the eye of the god Horus. The sign is used to protect a person’s physical and mental energy. It has been helping for many centuries, confirming its effectiveness time after time.

Origin of the symbol

The Eye of Horus is an amulet of an ancient Egyptian god with the body of a man and the head of a bird of prey. After coming of age, Horus decided to take revenge on Set for the death of his father. He challenged him to a duel to the death. The battle was long and brutal, but ended in Horus' favor. Despite the victory, he lost his left eye.

Legends represent this scene in different ways. Some sources indicate that Seth pierced his eye with a knife or finger. Other scrolls say that it was crushed when Set stepped on it. Sometimes there are references to the fact that Seth absorbed the eye of a brave warrior.

God regained his lost organ of vision after his victory. The powerful goddess Hathor, who symbolizes heaven and love, helped him in this. With the help of a healing drink that she gave Horus, the goddess returned the eye. But Horus chose to remain with only his right eye. With the help of the healed organ, he managed to revive his dead father. The hero gave it to Osiris to eat, after which the body of the supreme deity was reborn. Osiris did not want to return back to the familiar world of the living, where his wife and son lived. He chose to settle underground, where he became the wise patron of the kingdom of the dead.

The restored Eye of Horus took a special place called Wadget. After several centuries, Wadjet transforms into a separate deity on a par with the higher gods.

What is the power of the Eye of Horus?

After the left eye of the falcon god Horus gained fame, the Egyptians began to worship it even more. Translated from the ancient Egyptian language, this word means “restored, healed, returned.”

The Wadget symbol consists of two parts. The first designates the eye directly, and stands for “look, see.” The second half of the symbol means the word “protection” - this part of the sign is depicted as
The Eye of Horus was used in the embalming of pharaohs and nobles. It was applied to the sarcophagus, to bandages, and to the walls of the tomb. It was believed that the applied image could protect the deceased in the afterlife, and also ensure rebirth when the time came.

The embalming procedure itself was carried out so that the deceased could quickly restore his body. Holes were made in the body through which organs were removed. When a person is reborn, then, according to Egyptian legend, these holes will close like the body of Osiris, under the influence of the talisman.

The eye was not only used as an image. The Egyptians also used this image to count fractions. All components of the symbol of the Eye of Horus have their own digital meaning.

The sum of all the fractions that make up Egyptian eye Mountain, equal 63/64. This is due to the fact that he is damaged, dead and resurrected, as if incomplete. According to the second version of the legend, the absence of 1/64 is due to the intervention of the god of wisdom Thoth, who hid one part in a safe place.

In the modern world, the meanings of amulets and talismans of the Eye of Horus have had several interpretations. The most popular is its ability of protection - it protects from enemies and misfortunes. A person who wears it as an amulet can see hidden wisdom and secret signs.

Differences in the meaning of the right and left eyes

Sometimes an eye with a triangle is additionally enclosed in a circle. This circle symbolizes the sun, and together with the eye, this composition has the following meaning:

• the pinnacle of wisdom;
• spiritual enlightenment;
• divine Light;
• all-seeing being.

The amulet is used in Islam. There it denotes the mind that is superior to all other minds. Sometimes this concept is interpreted as the presence of supernatural abilities.

The sign is widely used as a method of protection. The eye enclosed in a triangle has a much more powerful potential than simply representing the organ of vision of the falcon god.

To achieve greater power for the symbol, the all-seeing eye is combined with other images - geometric shapes, plants, animals.

The eye is not just a drawing. If you combine it with different elements, you can get a powerful protective amulet the eye of Horus, which will guard its owner.

Eye of Horus

Wadjet is an ancient Egyptian symbol, representing a falcon's eye, knocked out from Horus during his fight with Set. Symbolized the moon, whose phases were explained by damage during the legendary battle. Represents various spheres of the world order, from royal power to fertility.

The Eye, or Eye of Horus, which is also called Atshet or the All-Seeing Eye, the Eye of Healing, has always meant hidden 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 by letting him eat his eye, cut into pieces by Set, which the god Thoth spliced ​​and 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 movement. The Eye is often depicted in color using blue, blue-green, green and red.

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

Surviving ancient Egyptian texts have conveyed to us various versions of the myth of the Eye of Horus. According to one of them, Seth pierced Horus’s eye with his finger, according to another, he stepped on it, according to the third, he swallowed it. One of the texts says that Hathor (or Tefnut) restored her eye by feeding it with gazelle milk. Another says that Anubis buried the eye on the side of a mountain, where it sprouted 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 in the same way as the eye itself. In order to help with resurrection, images of the eye of Horus were applied to Egyptian mummies at the hole through which their entrails were removed. Every month in the temples of Egypt, rituals were held to “restore” the Eye of Horus, associated with the lunar cycle.

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

In the battle with Set, the killer of his father, Horus is defeated - Set tore out his eye, the wonderful Eye, but then Horus overpowered Set and deprived him of masculinity. Horus allowed his wonderful Eye to be swallowed by his father, and he came to life. After defeating Set, the eye of Horus grew again. The resurrected Osiris handed over his throne in Egypt to Horus, and he himself became the king of the underworld.”

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

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

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

Proportions of the Eye of Ra:

Proportions of the divine eye:

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)

falcon sign: 1/64

Wadget: 63/64

The Eye was depicted in Egyptian tombstones to help the dead in afterlife. Often, the Eye amulet also depicted a king cobra guarding it. Wadget was also depicted on the bow of boats to prevent them from going astray. The Eye of Horus served as a prototype of the painted eyes that were inserted into statues and masks of the dead in order to “revive” them and infuse them with souls during the ritual of “opening the lips and eyes.”

“Your soul descends upon the sacred sycamore, you call upon 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 gate of the horizon near the sacred doors of Neith. You go through them, your soul is now in the highest heavens, and the body is on the lower ones... O Osiris, may the Eye of Horus forever convey what blooms in it to you and your heart!” After these words were spoken, the ceremony was repeated again. Then removed from 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 funeral vessels.

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

The left hawk's 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 the unstable phases of the Moon. The all-seeing eye of 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, celestial space.

Eyes of Horus

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