3 Introduction to the Series According to the Emerald Tables of Thoth he was the founder of the culture in Kemet (the Black Land) which the Greek later called Egypt. Along with Thoth came other Netjeru guardians or watchers who we in our culture normally call Gods. What we must understand is, that they originally worked among the citizens of Kemet and that the first Pharaohs were descendants of those Gods. Kemet was divided into two main parts: Lower Egypt (6 µ é - Ta Mehu) - mainly the Delta - from Memphis [Mennefer] to the Mediterranean Sea with 20 provinces (nomes). Among the symbols of Ta Mehu was the bee (bit - Ó), the red crown (desret - Ö) and the Snake-deva (Wadjet - Ç). Upper Egypt Nildalen (6ñÀ > - Ta Shemau) mainly the Nile Valley but also the desert areas around it with 22 provences. Among the symbols of Ta Shemau were the rush (su - ð), the white crown (hedjet - Ô) and the vulture-deva (Nekhbet - d). The ancient Egyptians believed in many different gods and goddesses. Each one of them with their own role to play - maintaining prosperity, peace and harmony across the land. But each of those 42 provinces had their own favourites and it was not quite the same belief system all over the two countries ruled under the double crown. Some gods and goddesses took part in creation, some brought the flood every year, some offered protection, and some took care of people after they died. Others were either local gods who represented towns, or minor gods who represented plants or animals. The ancient Egyptians believed that it was important to recognise and worship these gods and goddesses so that life continued smoothly. The worshipping of the gods and goddesses varied over the four most important historical periods: 1. The Old Kingdom (3rd 6th Dynasties) came after the Protodynastic Period (Apprx BCE) and the Early Dynastic Period (1st 2nd Dynasties). The Old Kingdom is best known for the large number of pyramids, which were constructed the first one being the Step Pyramid in Memphis' necropolis, Saqqara. 2. The Middle Kingdom (12th 13th Dynasties) came after the First Intermediate Period (7th 11th Dynasties) and was again a good period for Kemet, but again decay started and the Hyskos took advantage of that. 3. The New Kingdom (18th 20th Dynasties) came after the Second Intermediate Period (14th 17th Dynasties) and could be called the Golden Ages of Egypt. Here we find the most famous Pharaohs - Hatshepsut, Akhenaton, Tutankhamon, Amenhotep III, Seti I, Ramesses II ("the Great") and Ramesses III. 4. The Ptolemaic dynasty (year 332 to 30 BCE) after the Third Intermediate Period (21st 25th Dynasties) and the Late Period (26th 31st Dynasties). Now the Pharaohs among them the famous Kleopatra (51-30 BCE) - were of Greek origin, but we can thank them for leaving us many temples that we can visit today. After that the Roman Empire prevailed, and soon Christianity took over and later Islam.

4 Short story of the creation of the earth in Old Egypt At first, there was only Nun. Nun was the dark waters of chaos. One day, a hill rose up out of the waters. This hill was called Ben-Ben. On this hill stood Atum, the first god (creator of the universe). Atum coughed and spat out Shu, the god of the air, and Tefnut, the goddess of Shu and Tefnut had two children. First, there was Geb, the god of the earth. Then, there was Nut, the goddess of the sky. Shu lifted Nut up so that she became a canopy over Geb. Nut and Geb had four children named Osiris, Isis, Seth and Nephthys. Osiris was the king of the earth and Isis was the queen. Osiris was a good king, and he ruled over the earth for many years. However, everything was not well. Seth was jealous of Osiris because he wanted to be the ruler of the earth. He grew angrier and angrier until one day he killed Osiris. Osiris went down into the underworld and Seth remained on earth and became king. Osiris and Isis had one son called Horus. Horus battled against Seth and regained the throne. After that, Horus was the king of the earth and Osiris was the king of the underworld.

5 Horus (Heru) Ruler of Egypt The kings of Egypt associated themselves with Horus. Horus was among the most important gods of Egypt, particularly because the Pharaoh was supposed to be his earthly embodiment. Kings would eventually take the name of Horus as one of their own. At the same time, the Pharaohs were the followers of Ra and so Horus became associated with the sun as well. To the people this deity became identified as the son of Osiris. Attempts to resolve the conflicts between these different gods in different parts of Egypt resulted in at least fifteen distinct forms of Horus. They can be divided fairly easily into two groups, solar and Osirian, based on the parentage of the particular form of Horus. If he is said to be the son of Isis, he is Osirian; otherwise he is a solar deity. The solar Horus was called the son of Atum, or Ra, or Geb and Nut variously. Horus is one of the most famous gods of ancient Egypt. The name "Heru" stems from the ancient Egyptian word hr (her) which in its simple form was the preposition "above", "upon" so Horus the falcon soars above all the land and its inhabitants, and was the natural symbol of the King who reigns over all Egypt. Every pharaoh was an incarnation of Horus, who according to legend conquered Seth the evil god of Upper Egypt. Seth was god of turmoil and confusion who murdered Osiris, Horus's father. Horus avenged his father's death and became the god of order and justice. Therefore the pharaoh in Ancient Egypt became Horus on earth, the ruler of the two lands (Upper and Lower Egypt). Horus was sometimes seen as the god of the Nile Delta (Lower Egypt) and Seth as the god of Upper Egypt, but Horus became the Symbol of Kingship and the King of Upper and Lower Egypt because it was he who united the two Kingdoms. Iconography Horus is normally shown as a man with a falcon head wearing the double crown of Egypt. Horus, represented by the hawk, was the god of the Sky, a symbol of divine Kingship, and protector of the ruling King. He can also be shown just as a falcon, then normally wearing the double crown - his left eye being the moon, and the right, the sun. Family Relations Horus is normally regarded the son of Osiris and Isis, and his consort was Hathor.

6 Symbols and Correspondences Normally: Falcon (seldom hawk) bull, Double Crown - Peshent, Winged Solar Disk, Eye of Horus - Udjat, Sphinx, iron, blacksmiths Planets: Mercury Mars Element: Air

7 Cult Centers Edfu, Butos and Heliopolis Horus, in the shape of a falcon was worshiped in Hierakonpolis in Upper Egypt (north of Edfu). Archaeologists found a golden head of a falcon inside the temple in Hierakonpolis, and the name of the city means "City of the Hawk". Another temple was built for Horus in the city of Behdet (now Damnhour in the Nile Delta), where Horus was represented in the shape of a winged Sun disk. The modern name Damnhour itself "town of Horus" derives from the ancient Egyptian dmi-hor. Egyptian God correspondences to the Tree of Life HOREHOUND: (Marrubium vulgare) Associated with: Horus, Isis, Osiris Magickal Uses: Cleansing, Exorcism, Healing, Cleansing of the Aura, Mental Powers, Protection Blue Horus, Khnum, Re-Horakhty and Nuit were all often depicted with blue bodies. The Eye of Horus amulets were most often blue, symbolising their heavenly power. The blue pigment was formed by combining iron and copper oxides with silica and calcium.

8 Sacred candle color: Royal blue, Yellow, Gold The Eye of Horus (Udjat) The EYE OF HORUS has a very specific meaning. The eye is represented as a figure with 6 parts. These 6 parts correspond to the six senses - Touch, Taste, Hearing, Thought, Sight, Smell. These are the 6 parts of the *eye*. The eye is the receptor of *input*. It has these six doors, to receive data. The construction of the eye follows very precise laws. The senses are ordered according to their importance. And according to how much energy must be *eaten* by the *eye* for an individual to receive a particular sensation. All of the sensory data input is *food*. In the Ancient Egyptian measurement system, the EYE OF HORUS represented a fractional quantification system to measure parts of a whole. [Get a book on Egyptian stuff or scan the internet for Egyptian Math see for e.g. "Understanding Hieroglyphs" by H. Wilson, ISBN ] The entire eye measured 1 heqat. And each of the parts of the eye measured fractions of the heqat.

9 These are the parts of the EYE and their corresponding associated fraction values :- 1/64 1/32 1/16 1/8 1/4 1/2 The corresponding sense data are: 1/64 heqat Touch 1/32 heqat Taste 1/16 heqat Hearing 1/8 heqat Thought 1/4 heqat Sight 1/2 heqat Smell Also, in the Egyptian system there is the unit of the ro. And by definition 320 ro = 1 heqat. The symbol for the ro is the mouth, it represented one mouthful. Again associating these measures with food, or input data. Now if we consider the ro as the smallest unit of input energy needed for the input to *register* as sense data. We note,320 = 5 x 64 and so in terms of ro we have 5 ro to register a Touch 10 ro to register a Taste 20 ro to register a Sound 40 ro to register a Thought 80 ro to register a Light 160 ro to register a Smell

10 To see how the drawings of the eye correspond to the various senses note: 1. Touch - 1/64 heqat or 5 ro This part of the EYE represents planting a stick into the ground. Like planting a stalk that will take root. The Earth represents touch. Planting itself represents physical contact and touching. 2. Taste - 1/32 heqat or 10 ro This part of the EYE represents the sprouting of the wheat or grain from the planted stalk. It is the food we put into our mouth. And so represents taste. Taste is also = Touch + Shape. That is to say, the different tastes we experience come from touching different shapes. So, touch is more a fundamental sense that taste. 3. Hearing - 1/16 heqat or 20 ro This part of the EYE represents the EAR. The figure points towards the ear on the face. Also, it has the shape of a horn or musical instrument. When we Hear a sound or combination of sounds we find this to be pleasing or unplesant. The sound has a taste for us, causing a preference. Sound requires Touch + Taste and so is a combination of the lower senses. 4. Thought - 1/8 heqat or 40 ro This part of the EYE represents thought. We often use our eyebrows to express our thoughts. And this facial feature is closest to that part of the forehead we associate with thinking. We raise our eyebrows to express surprise, for example.

11 Thought = Touch + Taste + Hearing. If you think :) about it. Thinking is a kind of surpressed sound. The language we think in is like the *touch* of muscle prior to giving voice. And of course, we have a *taste* for different types of thoughts. 5. Sight - 1/4 heqat or 80 ro This is the pupil of the EYE. And so no more needs to be said. It represents seeing, or the sensation of light. 6. Smell - 1/2 heqat or 160 ro This part of the EYE points to the nose. It even looks like a nose. It represents the sensation of smell. One of the stories about the Eye of Horus goes that when the eye was reconstructed, all its parts were put together but no matter how much they tried they always had one part left over. The whole was not the same as the sum of the parts

12 Attunement Procedure This is by no means the only way to do it, it is just the way I do it Prepare the room by dimming the lights, playing soft unintrusive music, light a candle ( Royal Blue, yellow or Gold for Horus) or incense etc - Relax!!!!!! Call in your helpers, guides, God, Goddesses or Gods, Great Spirit or whoever you relate (especially God Horus) to and ask them to help you to be a clear pure channel to send the Horus attunement to.and to keep you safe from all negative energies or unwanted entities State your intention, that is to attune. to the energies of the God Horus - Then just relax and let the energies flow. When you feel that the energies have diminished, then you are done If you are doing a hands on attunement ground yourself and your client and give your client a glass of water Remember to thank your helpers! Enjoy! starlightowl@yahoo.com.au
