ABOUT HORUS
Horus is the prince of the ancient Egyptian gods and the patron of the pharaoh. The Eye of Horus, Udjat, is most likely based on the observation of a total solar eclipse, and symbolizes healing and protection against evil. I designed my Horus amulet in the shape of a falcon's head, which incorporates all the traditional elements of the Eye of Horus motif. The watchful eye's pupil represents the protective and omniscient sun god Ra. The radiant beams of light symbolize the connection between Earth and the divine. The Eye of Horus is represented as a figure with 6 parts, which correspond to the six senses: touch, taste, hearing, thought, sight, and smell.
