[Opinion] Egyptian God/desses

[Diluculo_DelFuego]

Your opinions welcome.

1. Do you think the Egyptian God/desses are alive and well?

2. Do you think this might be the actual one living religion?

3. Do you think it's all based on the stars in the end?

 

[Öwnchef]

1. Yes. They consist of Death and Sex. Never goes out of style.

2. No.

3. Partly, yes.

Interesting, I was just considering the story of Set dismembering and slaying Osiris, after contemplating Ptah, Amun-Ra and Horus.

 

[Diluculo_DelFuego]

Set and Anubis for sure I can see on point 1.

On 3, Sol (Horus), Virgo (Isis), where do Ptah, Amun-Ra, and Osiris sit in the stars?

I wrote "partly"

 

[Roma]

One time Osiris turned up at the group meditation, but I had been warned by a friend not to trust Osiris, so we ignored him

What on Amun and Ptah though?

 

[Roma]

Amun was banned by the other gods. Humans might take the hint

The name Ptah seems to be the same as Pater.

The Egyptian gods are mostly Nagas - hence Osiris is depicted with scales for skin, Isis is a cobra, and perhaps why Ptah is given green skin.

Sekhmet seems not to be a Naga - and not nearly as cat-like as the artists' impressions millennia later

 

[Roma]

Sekhmet is humanoid with feline features - just as modern humans can be called Leonine

 

[Diluculo_DelFuego]

Not down with reptiles or amphibians.
Perhaps the leonine are more my cup of tea.

 

[Roma]

Here is Mithras in leonine form

The script at bottom right is an ad for the devotee that paid for the statue

The square in the right hand is actually a key to heaven.

I had a brief contact with Isis once. I know because the Energy at the time felt different. And, She sounded so polite! It was wonderful.

What's up with the serpent?

 

[Diluculo_DelFuego]

Off topic of course, will look into bovine god/desses. Geb, Cernunnos and Brigit come to mind for earth. I often wondered if the Egyptian Geb pertaining to earth might actually be Ghob.

 

[Roma]

What's up with the serpent?

The serpent is wound 7 times around the human body and the head of the serpent sits on top of the human head.

That can be thought of as representing the kundalini - but that too is a symbolic representation

Better perhaps to consider that the Life Force itself moves in self-intelligent spirals

 

[Diluculo_DelFuego]

I see. That symbolism makes perfect sense. Much like Paul Foster Case refers to Key VIII, Teth and Strength, as the Serpent Force and Law of Suggestion.

All gods are alive even today it is the ritual sacrifices that kept them close that are about dead. Thief is the god of today among many. You can contact the gods in there places, you see Egypt is a dead desert now but it and the Sahara were very green then. Odin just go to the area around the tip of Denmark and having learned the sacrifice , you will find him. What is so great about Egyptian gods is they are also of and full of Magic, Heka the first and greatest is Magic, there are also many other beings know and used from there many names other than the stories which hold vast power. Just have to dig deep enough.
