The eye

The eye symbol was used since antiquity as an apotropaic talisman to protect from evil spirits. Eye is associated with vision, clarity and with the experience of the sensible world and the underworld.

The symbol is also associated to knowledge, in ancient Greece it was related to the Glaukopis Athena, the goddess of wisdom and her association with the birds of prey such as Owls, Crows and Seagulls. The glimmering eye that can see and perceive things from this world and from the other and that is always watching and judging. In ancient Greece this concept was also used in ritual mask such as the Gorgoneion or the primeval representations of the divine presence of Dionysus. Traditional talismans such as the Nazar and the Mati probably took its origins from these ancient traditions or even from previous Mesopotamian origins. Eyes were depicted on vases, temples doors, ships, and charms to protect humans from negative energies such as the evil eye, the envious gaze, and malevolent spirits.

In ancient Egypt the eye symbol was depicted as the two specular eyes of Horus and Ra and represented well-being, healing, and protection. Egyptian texts say that Horus's right eye was the sun and his left eye the moon. The symbol was connected with the myth of the conflict between Horus and his uncle Set in which his rival tore out one of Horus's eyes and the eye was subsequently returned to Horus with the assistance of the god Thoth. Horus subsequently offered the eye to his deceased father Osiris, and its revitalizing power sustained Osiris in the afterlife.

The right eye, the solar eye was also called the Wedjat and represented the eye of Ra. This eye was seen as a feminine extension of the god, a Goddess with both protective and destructive powers representing the benevolent and damaging energy of the sun. It is also equated with the red light that appears before sunrise, and with the morning star that precedes and signals the sun's arrival. The power of this goddess stands in the representation of the womb in which the sun god enters at sunset, impregnating her and setting the stage for his rebirth at sunrise. Consequently, the eye, as womb and mother of the child form of Ra, is also the consort of the adult Ra. This goddess is sometimes associated with feline and reptile form goddesses like Hathor and Sekhmet and with the Uraeus symbol, the cobra. These totemic animals incarnate the ferocious and protective energy of the dark feminine and, in the myths, the Wedjat is often used as a protecting or destructive weapon by the Sun god.

In German mythology the god Odin sacrificed his eye to obtain knowledge becoming the wisest god and achieving the magical knowledge. The sacrifice of the eye represents the loss of the vision in order to obtain an enhanced perception. The God exchanged a profane mode of perception, for a sacred mode of perception informed by divine, ancestral wisdom. In this case the eye symbolize once again wisdom and Odin is also associated with birds of prey and psychopomp birds such as ravens and their magical abilities to perceive and move through the veils of the worlds.

In many oriental religious traditions, the eye of wisdom is depicted by the Third eye, a mystical invisible eye, located on the forehead, which provides perception beyond ordinary sight. The third eye refers to the gate that leads to the inner realms and spaces of higher consciousness. In spirituality, the third eye often symbolizes a state of enlightenment. It often associated with religious visions, clairvoyance, the ability to observe chakras and auras, precognition, and out-of-body experiences.

Eye also recalls to the female breast and to the egg cell symbolizing the portal of life, the ancestral creative energy, and its protection power. In modern days the eye symbol is still used as a protection amulet representing the ability of seeing through things, the mystical knowledge, and warding power against evil.

Scenery and imagery from the Hathor temple at Dendera, built in the Greco-Roman period

photos taken by me in August, 2023

Some parts of this temple, when I visited, were off limits. However it was very hard to distinguish what was and wasn’t off limits, so my companion and I wandered everywhere. We also bought passes to the different hidden chambers of the temple; well worth the price in my opinion. You descend or ascend cramped, steep stairs to get to seemingly secret and certainly hidden tunnels filled with vivid imagery of the Gods and worship. Unfortunately, the Dendera calendar filled with zodiacs, has been stolen and replaced with a black cast of what it once was. The original now rests in a museum in Europe.

THERE'S GONNA BE A SHEZOW COMIC ADAPTATION???

This one's for you, anon who asked me a few months ago ❤️

Behind closed doors he’s a ball of nerves

“Through the miracle of alchemy not mAGIc-“

Birthday day is today…. Birthday day is todaaaay

Hey hey! I forgot this account existed Again sorry..

Here you have an introduction for Cold Finger in my Shezow AU

Timmy is 17 yrs old here. His family owns a successful factory that makes ice products, that's how he gets the money and resources to create his gadgets. In Shezow's universe is very common for people to be born with super abilities and this what happened to him, he is the only one in his family to be born with super powers.

An advantage he has with his ice super powers is that he can turn himself in ice so he can hide his civilian identity. His parents are the negligent type that gives him what he wants to so he can doesn't notice their absence and BOTH of them KNOW he's Cold Finger but they don't really care unless he reveals his real identity because that would harm the family and their business reputation.

His natural hair color is black.

He has a somewhat friendly relationship with Guy in school but they're not really friends and they only talk a few times because Guy is more popular (both of them are unaware of each other's secret identities).

For my AU I'm thinking about him being one of those weird kids who are in love w someone and when the feelings are not returned, they get really mad and aggressive with that person but still attempt to date them and fail because of their bad attitude while blaming the other person for this behavior.

In my idea he would be (at first) be doing questionable stuff (like doing small robberies or make scandals in public places) just to gain Shezow's attention until one day she tells him "I will never be with someone like you" and with him not being used to be denied, he gets really mad so he actively starts attacking her and others becoming a former villain just because he can't deal with rejection. 🧍

Kanaroha yeahyeah

such a happy “couple” !!

DEAD PLATE SPOILERS

I have to crush you ❤️

Damn😶

There’s a thought I’ve been rotating in my mind recently since checking official posts confirming that Vince is gay and Rody is bisexual and has internalized biphobia.

In the sense that Rody never ate the food that Vince gave him. Didn’t ever consider that Vince would genuinely see him as someone worthy of working there. He literally asks Vince if he’s going to fire him. Even when we can see Vince having scratched out the newspaper clipping talking about Rody being a bad waiter. It’s in the fact that Vince’s favorite food is lemon and the perfume that gives you more time to serve customers is lemon scented.

Every act Rody does, every nightmare he has. I think it’s all a way to discuss Rody’s shying away from the part of himself that loves men. It’s seeing the only other antagonist that is presented to us (the ex classmate) as being another man. Someone that sends Rody spiraling with his presence.

He refuses to eat Vince’s food because he refuses to accept that he likes men. He hangs so tightly onto his ex girlfriend because she’s a woman, he’s supposed to love her. He’s supposed to only love women.

And every act Vince does leaves Rody deeper and deeper in spiraling self hatred. He kills Vince. He burns down the bistro. He has once again destroyed any evidence of his love for men. But this time, he is left with a permanent reminder by having lost his ear. Cannibalism is a sin, just as homosexuality is. Just as murder is.

back at it with gay horses

Finally Guy Hamdon!

I'll probably keep changing his clothes because I'm not entirely satisfied with this design.

Reference down below!

Take care and Happy new year everyone!! 🎉👋
