The "Eye of Ra" was a popular symbol for the peoples of ancient Egypt. Since the Egyptian gods were intertwined over a 3,000 year rein, this symbol is also referred to as the "Eye of Horus", or the "Eye of Thoth". Horus being the Egyptian solar god and avenger of evil; Thoth the Egyptian god of the moon, responsible for the development of the calendar, writing, poetry, magic and knowledge. Legend says that when facing toward the right the eye represents the sun god, "Ra" and the left facing eye represents the moon god "Aah". The all-seeing eye exemplified good health, soundness of mind, self-protection, physical comfort and well-being, and defense against all negativity. |
