CONTE HORUS - IDENTITY
CONTE HORUS
The
eye of Horus (eye of Ra) was a very powerful amulet for the ancient Egyptians;
considered a symbol of luck, prosperity and good health. For this reason it was
placed inside the bandages that enveloped the body of the deceased, as a symbol
of regeneration. The eye of Horus is also present in the Buddhist image of the
eye of the world, revealing the illuminated perspective of Buddha.
It is
a symbol with a deep esoteric meaning. The eye has always been one of the most
powerful protective symbols of ancient Egypt.
The
eyes of the gods of the Horus hawks are the sun and the moon. The right eye is
represented by the sun, and symbolizes the future and activity, the left eye is
represented by the moon and symbolizes the past and passivity.
Both eyes lead to omniscience and are associated with invulnerability and eternal fertility. For this reason they were often placed on the left side of the sarcophagi: in this way the deceased could see the way to go. In our day it is used as a powerful evil eye amulet.
