Horus

Horus is an ancient god of Egyptian mythology, whose cult survived so long that he evolved dramatically over time and gained many names. The most well known name is the Greek Horus, representing the Egyptian Heru/Har, which is the basic element in most of the other names of Horus. Horus was so important that the Eye of Horus became an important Egyptian symbol of power and even to this day is represented on the U.S. one dollar bill. Horus - Mythology. Horus - Sky G ...

Horus: Encyclopedia II - Horus - Horus and Jesus A connection between Jesus and Horus-Osiris is frequently raised by critics of the historicity of Jesus. Superficially, the death and resurrection of Horus-Osiris, and Horus' nature as both the son of Osiris and Osiris himself, appear to be a template for the idea that this occurred in Jesus. However, there is much more to both deities than this, and so such basic comparisons are not terribly persuasive to most academics. Deeper similarities between Horus and Jesus, which are not at all obvious to those who are not completely familiar ...

Horus: Encyclopedia - Hapi

Hapi was one of the Four sons of Horus depicted in funerary literature as protecting the throne of Ausare (Osiris) in the Underworld. Hapi is depicted as a baboon-headed mummified human on funerary furniture and especially the canopic jars that held the organs of the deceased (Hapi's jar held the lungs). Later Hermetic philosophers would equate Hapi with the element of air because of his association with the funerary protectress Nebet Het (Nephthys) and the East. See also. < ...

Isis is a female goddess in the Egyptian belief. She was most prominent mythologically as the wife of Horus, or, in later periods, as the wife of Osiris and mother of Horus, and was worshipped as the archetypal wife and mother. Much later, her greatly changed cult became very prominent internationally, and she was worshipped throughout the ancient world as Isis-Aphrodite. Her name literally means (female) of throne, and the main hierogliph in her name, and the em ...

Horus: Encyclopedia - Bird goddess

The term Bird goddess was coined by Marija Gimbutas with relation to Neolithic Europe. The Vinca culture, in particular, had a bird goddess. Griffen (2005) even claims to have discovered a sign for the bird goddess in the Vinca script. Later goddesses with associations with birds include Nuit, Lilitu and Athena [1] and perhaps Circe. Gimbutas also identified a "Lady of the Beasts" (the female analogon of Pashupati) ...

Horus: Encyclopedia - Hadit

Had and Hadit both refer to the Thelemic version of an Egyptian god. The earlier, Egyptian version, went by the name of Hor-Behudeti or Horus of Edfu. Thoth let him take the form of the solar disk to help a younger version of Horus -- Re-Horakhty, or Ra-Hoor-Khuit -- in a battle with Set and his army. Both versions of Horus appear in the Egyptian image that Thelemites call Stele 666 (of the Boulaq ...

HORUS

As god of the rising sun, he is the Egyptian version of the Greek god, Apollo (Ra is the noon-day sun). His eye, lost in avenging Seth's murder of his brother, Osiris, is the symbol of his sacrifice (the sun is endlessly self-sacrificing). As Seth imprisons us, Horus liberates us.

Horus: Spiritual - Theosophy Dictionary on Horus

Horus (Latin) Heru (Egyptian) (from heru above)

Egyptian deity associated with the sun god Ra, equivalent in certain respects to Apollo of the Greeks and, similarly, a slayer of a serpent. Originally two distinct deities were recognized: Heru-ur (Aroeris or Haroiri, Horus the Elder) and Heru-pa-khart (Harpocrates, Horus the Younger or Horus the Child). The older Horus was represented as the winged globe or solar disk, while the younger Horus represented the sun reborn each morning from the waters, carried on the lotus flower.

But in later times the characteristics of the two were merged into one, and a further change was made from an original self-born deity to the mythological aspect of a holy child found in the triad Osiris-Isis-Horus -- Father-Mother-Son. Thus the representations of Isis suckling the babe Horus are numerous. Each aspect of this god was represented in a different manner, yet all portrayed the deity as hawk-headed: the hieroglyph for Horus is a hawk.

Horus is helper to the dead in the Book of the Dead, where he is shown as presenting the justified pilgrim to Osiris, pleading in his behalf, so that the former may enter the regions of the glorified. In the Pyramid Texts, Horus and Set are portrayed as setting the ladder so that the deceased may proceed on his journey, Horus helping the pilgrim to mount the ladder into the other regions.

"If we bear in mind the definition of the chief Egyptian gods by Plutarch, these myths will become more comprehensible; as he well says: 'Osiris represents the beginning and principle; Isis, that which receives; and Horus, the compound of both. Horus engendered between them, is not eternal nor incorruptible, but, being always in generation, he endeavours by vicissitudes of imitations, and by periodical passion (suffering)

(yearly re-awakening to life) to continue always young, as if he should never die.' Thus, since Horus is the personified physical world, Aroueris, or the 'elder Horus' is the ideal Universe; and this accounts for the saying that 'he was begotten by Osiris and Isis when these were still in the bosom of their mother' -- Space" (TG 31).

And further:

"the older Horus was the Idea of the world remaining in the demiurgic mind 'born in Darkness before the creation of the world'; the second Horus was the same Idea going forth from the Logos, becoming clothed with matter and assuming an actual existence" (SD 1:366).

Horus: Spiritual Theosophical Dictionary on Horus

Horus (Egypt, Egyptian). The last in the line of divine Sovereigns in Egypt, said to he the son of Osiris and Isis.

He is the great god "loved of Heaven", the "beloved of the Sun, the offspring of the gods, the subjugator of the world".

At the time of the Winter Solstice (our Christmas), his image, in the form of a small newly-born infant, was brought out from the sanctuary for the adoration of the worshipping crowds. As he is the type of the vault of heaven, he is said to have come from the Maem Misi, the sacred birth-place (the womb of the World), and is, therefore, the "mystic Child of the Ark" or the argha, the symbol of the matrix.

Cosmically, he is the Winter Sun. A tablet describes him as the "substance of his father", Osiris, of whom he is an incarnation and also identical with him. Horus is a chaste deity, and "like Apollo has no amours. His part in the lower world is associated with the judgment.

He introduces souls to his father, the judge" (Bonwick). An ancient hymn says of him, "By him the world is judged in that which it contains. Heaven and earth are under his immediate presence. He rules all human beings. The sun goes round according to his purpose. He brings forth abundance and dispenses it to all the earth. Everyone adores his beauty. Sweet is his love in us."

The first sign the Emperor accepted of Horus' turning was when he used virus-bombs to 'pacify' a planet, killing sixteen million to defeat one man and his tiny heretical faction. When the Emperor demanded an explanation, Horus retorted by deposing the Emperor, claiming him unworthy of the battles fought in his name. Horus then went on to declare that he would replace the Emperor as the head of Mankind. The Emperor, worried by the outburst of his son, ordered seven Legions of Space Marines to find Horus, determine ...
