Osiris, Egyptian god of the underworld and of vegetation INVOCATION OF OSIRIS In addition to native variations by locality or over time, there are often several possible transliterations into the Roman alphabet used for English.) English name: Green Man (the term �Green Man� refers to a class of deities from many different traditions, of which Asar is a Tameran example  Asar was commonly depicted as a green man) THE MYSTERY OF OSIRIS Osiris plays a key role and is a central figure in the ancient Egyptian mysteries and in the Order Of The Morning Star. It was Osiris who was the beloved pharaoh of Egypt. It was Osiris who taught the people of the land of Egypt about farming. Osiris was and is one of the first "Green Men", in that he was also the god of vegetation. When Osiris became ruler over the land of Egypt, the people were engaged in the practice of cannibalism. Osiris helped them to evolve beyond cannibalism and to learn farming skills. Osiris is the husband of Isis. In that after thousands of years all female goddesses became merged as an aspect of Isis, she too is central to Egyptian symbolism.

Most scholars know of the tragic story of the death of Osiris. He was murdered by his evil brother Set. Set is equated with Typhon-Apophis of the Greeks. Set is the destructive aspect that the alchemical principal must undergo, and thus be reborn into a new and purified creation. (Satan is based on the personage of Set) That is exactly what happened to Osiris. His death or as the alchemist would say his putrefaction was carefully evolved through the power of Isis under the magical direction of Thoth. Essentially, a formula was being created in the mythos. It is the alchemical formula of I.A.O., Isis, Apophis, Osiris, Birth, Death, resurrection. To the Adept this is a powerful process of transformation that unlocks the keys of magical power and of immortality. For as Osiris died, through the power of Birth (Isis) under the authority and skill of Thoth (The Higher Genius) Osiris arose on the physical plane as the great avenging god Horus, his son. On the spiritual plane Osiris became the great god of the underworld. Like Christ he became the god that the Egyptians needed to become in order to be saved.

What this means is that unless the initiate allows for the complete transformation of the self under the direct guidance of the Higher, no true and lasting power can be obtained. Osiris is the reconciler with the Lower Selfhood in which no birth or death is necessary. We can refer to it as "The Bornless One." To the Egyptians one must become Osiris. In that no one can or could deliver the forty-two negative confessions in the hall of truth, because no one is perfect in earthly life. By identification with Osiris the candidate who stands in the Hall of Truth can indeed deliver the negative confession. The reason is clear, it is not him, but him in Osiris that is delivering the negative confession. The candidate in the Hall of Truth is redeemed by his unification with Osiris.This unification in the Morning Star system takes place in the grade of 5=6, Adeptus Minor. Of the details I can speak no more. In the Hall of the Neophyte it is the Hierophant who sits in the Osirisian position on the path of Samekh outside of Tiphareth. Osiris is the one in the Hall of the Neophyte who confirms the initiation on the new candidate.

This is done after the candidate has taken the oath and is placed in the northwest part of the hall. "I am the only being in an abyss of Darkness. From an abyss of Darkness came I forth ere my birth, from the silence of a primal sleep. And the voice of ages said unto my soul, 'I am he who formulates in Darkness, the Light that shineth in the Darkness, yet the Darkness comprehendeth it not.' Let the mystical circumambulation take place onto the Path of Darkness that leadeth unto Light with the Lamp of Hidden Knowledge to guide the way." Asar [Osiris]: God of life and death. Husband and brother of Aset, brother of Set, Nebt Het, and Heru the Elder, son of Nut and Geb, and father of the twins, Bast and Heru, lover of Nebt Het, and father of Anpu. Asar is shown as a virile green man or as a mummified black man. See also information on the religious item known as the Djed. The goddess was typically portrayed as a woman who wears on her head a vase of water . Many times she is shown as a woman whose hands and feet touch the ground so that her body forms a semi-circle.

As such she represents the heavens. Her arms and legs represent the four pillars on which the sky rests. She is held up by her father Shu (the god of the air). Her husband Geb lies on the ground reclining on one elbow and his knees in the air. In this position he depicts the hills and valleys of the land. It was said that when Shu raised Nut (the sky) above Geb (the earth) he brought an end to chaos and if he ever left this position, chaos would return. In one myth Nut gives birth to the Sun-god daily and he passes over her body until he reaches her mouth at sunset. He then passed into her mouth and through her body and is reborn the next morning. Another myth described the sun as sailing up her legs and back in the Atet (Matet) boat until noon, when he entered the Sektet boat and continued his travels until sunset. GEB NUT Egyptian god of the underworld and of vegetation. Son of Nut and Geb . His birthplace was said to be Rosetau in the necropolis west of Memphis. Brother of Nephthys and Seth, and the brother and husband of Isis.

HORUS HORUS Son of Seth Isis Hathor gave birth to Horus after his death, having impregnated herself with semen from his corpse. [ Horus birth & Flight ] Osiris was depicted in human form wrapped up as a mummy, holding the crook and flail. He was often depicted with green skin, alluding to his role as a god of vegetation. He wore a crown known as the 'atef', composed of the tall conical white crown of Upper Egypt with red plumes on each side. Osiris had many cult centers, but the most important were at Abydos (Ibdju) in Upper Egypt, where the god's legend was reenacted in an annual festival, and at Busiris (Djedu) in the Nile delta. One of the so-called "dying gods", he was the focus of a famous legend in which he was killed by the rival god Seth. At a banquet of the gods, Seth fooled Osiris into stepping into a coffin, which he promptly slammed shut and cast into the Nile. The coffin was born by the Nile to the delta town of Byblos, where it became enclosed in a tamarisk tree.

Isis, the wife of Osiris, discovered the coffin and brought it back. (The story to this point is attested only by the Greek writer Plutarch, although Seth was identified as his murderer as early as the Pyramid era of the Old Kingdom.) Seth took advantage of Isis's temporary absence on one occasion, cut the body to pieces, and cast them into the Nile. (In the Egyptian texts this incident alone accounts for the murder of Osiris.) After Seth killed Osiris, Horus , his son, became Pharoah. Seth was jealous of him as well, so he fought Horus for the throne. Seth took out Horus' eye in the battle. Thoth, the god of wisdom, found the eye and put it together. It is now called the Eye of Horus, or the wedjet eye. The eye is one of the main symbols of Egyptian mythology. Horus became one of the main Egyptian gods. Isis searched the land for the body parts of Osiris, and was eventually able to piece together his body, whole save for the penis, which had been swallowed by a crocodile (according to Plutarch) or a fish (according to Egyptian texts).

In some Egyptian texts, the penis is buried at Memphis. Isis replaced the penis with a reasonable facsimile, and she was often portrayed in the form of a kite being impregnated by the ithyphallic corpse of Osiris. In some Egyptian texts, the scattering of the body parts is likened to the scattering of grain in the fields, a reference to Osiris's role as a vegetation god. 'Osiris gardens' - wood-framed barley seedbeds in the shape of the god, were sometimes placed in tombs - and the plants which sprouted from these beds symbolized the resurrection of life after death. It was this legend that accounted for Osiris's role as a god of the dead and ruler of the Egyptian underworld. He was associated with funerary rituals, at first only with those of the Egyptian monarch, later with those of the populace in general. The pharaoh was believed to become Osiris after his death. Although he was regarded as a guarantor of continued existence in the afterlife, Osiris also had a darker, demonic aspect associated with the physiological processes of death and decay, and reflecting the fear Egyptians had of death in spite of their belief in an afterlife.

Osiris was also a judge of the dead, referred to as the 'lord of Maat' (i.e. of divine law). Legendary ruler of predynastic Egypt and god of the underworld. Osiris symbolized the creative forces of nature and the imperishability of life. Called the great benefactor of humanity, he brought to the people knowledge of agriculture and civilization. The worship of Osiris, one of the great cults of ancient Egypt, gradually spread throughout the Mediterranean world and, with that of Isis and Horus, was especially vital during the Roman Empire. Osiris (Ausar) The god of the dead, and the god of the resurrection into eternal life; ruler, protector, and judge of the deceased, and his prototype (the deceased was in historical times usually referred to as "the Osiris"). His cult originated in Abydos, where his actual tomb was said to be located. Osiris was the first child of Nut and Geb, thus the brother of Set, Nephthys, and Isis, who was also his wife. By Isis he fathered Horus, and according to some stories, Nephthys assumed the form of Isis, seduced him thus, and from their union was born Anubis.

Osiris ruled the world of men in the beginning, after Ra had abandoned the world to rule the skies, but he was murdered by his brother Set. Through the magic of Isis, he was made to live again. Being the first living thing to die, he subsequently became lord of the dead. His death was avenged by his son Horus, who defeated Set and cast him out into the desert to the West of Egypt (the Sahara). Prayers and spells were addressed to Osiris throughout Egyptian history, in hopes of securing his blessing and entering the afterlife which he ruled; but his popularity steadily increased through the Middle Kingdom. By Dynasty XVIII he was probably the most widely worshipped god in Egypt. His popularity endured until the latest phases of Egyptian history; reliefs still exist of Roman emperors, conquerors of Egypt, dressed in the traditional garb of the Pharaohs, making offerings to him in the temples. Osiris, King Of The Underworld From Lenoir�s La Franche-Maconnerie. Osiris is often represented with the lower part of his body enclosed in a mummy case or wrapped about with funeral bandages.

Man�s spirit consists of three distinct parts, only one of which incarnates in physical form. The human body was considered to be a tomb or sepulchre of this incarnating spirit. Therefore Osiris, a symbol of the incarnating ego, was represented with the lower half of his body mummified to indicate that he was the living spirit of man enclosed within the material form symbolized by the mummy case. RE There is a romance between the active principle of God and the passive principle of Nature. From the union of these two principles is produced the rational creation. Man is a composite creature. From his Father (the active principle) he inherits his Divine Spirit, the fire of aspirationthat immortal part of himself which rises triumphant from the broken clay of mortality: that part which remains after the natural organisms have disintegrated or have been regenerated. From his Mother (the passive principle) he inherits his bodythat part over which the laws of Nature have control: his humanity, his mortal personality, his appetites, his feelings, and his emotions.

The Egyptians also believed that Osiris was the river Nile and that Isis (his sister-wife) was the contiguous land, which, when inundated by the river, bore fruit and harvest. The murky waters of the Nile were believed to account for the blackness of Osiris, who was generally symbolized as being of ebony hue. MPH ************** Thereafter Osiris was worshipped both as a fertility god, who ensured the rebirth of vegetation each spring and as Lord of the underworld, through whom all live again. Osiris sat at the entrance to the underworld. Only those who could satisfy him of their goodness during life gained admission. thus all made offerings to Osiris in hope of his favour. Osiris is usually shown as a crowned king, holding a crook and a flail. He is usually depicted black, the colour of death. The picture below is a photograph of what you might call an Egyptian map of the universe, or at least one-half of it: the journey of the sun through the Underworld. The painting shows the journey of Re, the sun-god, travelling through the Underworld in his solar barque, a journey he undertakes every night.

The bottom of the painting shows a barque filled with several gods of the Egyptian pantheon (outside of Ra and Osiris, these gods are difficult to identify for they have no distinguishing marks); on either side of these deities are the souls of royal dead in one case praising and in the other case worshipping these gods. This painting graces the walls of the tomb of Sennedjem (Seti I), who ruled in the Nineteenth Dynasty during the New Kingdom (see the Egyptian Timeline). OSIRIS - THE GOD OF DEATH AND REBIRTH Although the cult of the sun-god was the state cult of Egypt, the most important god in terms of religious practice was Osiris, the god of the living and the dead. For the cult of Osiris applied to everyone, from the king down to the lowest member of society. Osiris was a god of fertility; all the principal Egyptian gods (including the pharoah who was God Incarnate) were creator gods, that is, they gave life to the world.

Since Osiris gave life to the living and the dead, the pharoah was generally regarded as the incarnation of Osirisin fact, the very name of the god, Us-Yri, means "Occupier of the Throne." Osiris's principle function as the god of the dead was to judge the soul of the deceased. If that soul were found to be pure and sinless, it would be admitted into the realms of bliss; if it were to be found in any way weighted with sin or crime, it was thrown to Amenti, a horrid god with the face of a crocodile, the front of a leopard, and the back of a rhinoceros, who would consume the soul in its frightening jaws. So Osiris was the god that every soul had to answer to after death, accounting for all aspects of the life lived on earth. Osiris didn't just fall into this role. According to Osiris legends, as an incarnate god in the body of a pharoah, he was married to his sister, Isis. Their brother, Setekh, was also married to another sister, Nephthys.

Through a ruse, Setekh murdered Osiris and threw his body, locked in a coffin, into the Nile. When Isis recovered the body, Setekh tore it into many pieces and threw them back into the Nile. Isis reassembled all the pieces and breathed life back into the body; they then had a child, Horus, who would become the god of the sun. Isis herself turned into a hawk; so most tombs in Egypt have an image of a hawk with its wings spread out as a symbol of rebirth. So Osiris represents many things for the Egyptians. As someone who died and was then reborn, he represents the cycle of death and rebirth which the Egyptians saw as the dominant principle and promise of the universe. As the god of fertility and the Nile, Osiris brought life, in the form of agriculture, to all living humans. Incarnate in the pharoah or king, Osiris created life for the living in the administration of the state. As the lord of the dead, Osiris represented the moral order of the universe, judging each soul by its life and rewarding or punishing that soul with a rigorous justice.

LIBRA (The Scales) LIBRA START CHART There are other Biblical verses that tie in, in my way of seeing things. In Genesis 8:21, the Lord said in his heart, ". . . for the imagination of man's heart is evil from his youth; . . ." This is why He brought on the flood. Proverbs 21:2 says, "Every way of a man is right in his own eyes, but the Lord weighs the heart." Revelation 6:5 says, ". . . And I saw, and behold, a black horse, and its rider had a balance in his hand The scales have been identified as formerly being Chelae, the claws of the Scorpion of Babylonian astrology. Some identify Libra with the Egyptian god Osiris as the scales he uses to weigh the souls of the dead. Another link of this constellation has been made with Julius Caesar who was praised for his clemency and justice. When a comet appeared in July 44 B.C., four months after his murder, it was thought that his spirit was ascending to take its place in the heavens. Libra is often less explained in mythologic terms, but rather in astronomic.

It is thought that the scales represent the equal length of nights and days during the autumnal equinox, which occurs while the sun is in this sign. Claws and Scales Libra lies between Scorpius and Virgo. Once long ago the area occupied by Libra was seen as comprising the claws of the scorpion Scorpius. After about the first century B.C.E. this constellation has become associated with the Balance Scales. The Scales of Justice The constellation of Libra is sometimes seen as the Scales of Justice. This leads to an association with the constellation of Virgo, who has been identified with Astraea or Dike, the Goddess of Justice. It is the Goddess who judges the souls of men after their death by weighing them in her balance. The Green Gods: New Religion and Eco-Faith The Green Gods: New Religion and Eco-Faith Jun 22, 2012 By Henrik Palmgren | redice.tv "Green guru James Lovelock was right. He warned last week that “the green religion is now taking over from the Christian religion.” "’I don’t think people have noticed that, but it’s got all the sort of terms that religions use. The greens use guilt.

You can’t win people round by saying they are guilty for putting CO2 in the air" Now at the U.N. Earth Summit, even the image of Christ has been made a forcible convert to the eco-faith, as the city of Rio is bathing the iconic statue of Christ the Redeemer (Christo Redentor) in green light." --- David Rothbard and Craig Rucker have penned an article for National Review Online describing the strange symbolism occurring at the Rio UN Earth Summit. They highlight how Jesus is signifying a shift to a ’green religion’, and that perhaps even obligations such as recycling, paying carbon taxes, or living with smart meters could be seen as "religious duties of the faithful". The left-wing National Religious Partnership for the Environment has been working for years in the U.S. to make green tenets a staple of religious life in America. A bizarre eco-version of the Ark of the Covenant is making its way around the globe. And a “Green Bible” is now available at your local Christian bookstore.

Source Other symbols at Rio this year are the fish constructed from plastic bottles: "As part of the UN Conference on Sustainable Development (Rio+20) an enormous outdoor installation of fish was constructed using discarded plastic bottles on Botafogo beach in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The sculptures are illuminated from the inside at night" Source Though the sculptures capture the imagination (and remind us that there’s a tragic amount of plastics in the ocean ), fish symbolism is emblematic to the Christian religion. "The fish’s first known use as a Christian religious symbol was sometime within the first three centuries AD. Christians began using the Greek word for "fish" as an anagram/acronym for "Jesus Christ God’s Son, Savior." ( Source ) Source Is all this ecclesiastical symbolism at an eco summit indicative of a shift towards religious dogma? If so, it encompasses not just modern Christianity, but also ancient beliefs and gods. Some would say the "new age" green religion we are being offered is actually an echo of an old one. Another aspect of this ’Green Jesus’, is the unavoidable association to Osiris. Osiris, lord of the dead, god of the afterlife. His green skin symbolizes re-birth.

(Source: Wikipedia) Osiris is an Egyptian god, usually identified as the god of the afterlife, the underworld and the dead. He is classically depicted as a green-skinned man with a pharaoh’s beard, partially mummy-wrapped at the legs, wearing a distinctive crown with two large ostrich feathers at either side, and holding a symbolic crook and flail. Through the hope of new life after death Osiris began to be associated with the cycles observed in nature, in particular vegetation and the annual flooding of the Nile, through his links with Orion and Sirius at the start of the new year. Osiris was widely worshiped as Lord of the Dead until the suppression of the Egyptian religion during the Christian era. (Source, Wikipedia) Osiris | Egyptian God of the Underworld Abydos Osiris - Egyptian God of the Underworld Osiris, the Egyptian god of the underworld, appears to have been a strong element in Egyptian mythology from the beginning. Before he became the Egyptian god of the underworld, Osiris had quite a history. Who Was Osiris? © Jan - Statue of Osiris Osiris was the ancient Egyptian god of the dead, the underworld, and the afterlife.

He is usually depicted as a man with green skin and a beard associated with the pharaoh, wearing a crown with two large ostrich feathers, and legs partially wrapped like a mummy. In his hands he holds a flail and a symbolic crook. His Names Osiris is a Latin word. In Egyptian hieroglyphs the traditional rendering of the name is Wsjr. Some Egyptologists refer to the deity as Aser, Ausar, Asar, Asari, Ausir, Ausare, Usire, Usir, Wser, or Wesir. The English translation of the name is Almighty or The Powerful. This is how he was perceived among the ancient Egyptians and his name was celebrated with much prayer and ritual activity for thousands of years. He was also worshiped as the shepherd god. Archaeologists point to him being pictured with the shepherd's crook as evidence of this designation. Titles of Osiris His name appears during Egypt's Fifth Dynasty, although he is said to have been worshiped since the First Dynasty. He is also mentioned in later Egyptian documents, including the Contending of Horus and Seth, the Shabaka Stone and the writings of ancient Greek authors. Osiris was given many titles.

He is sometimes referred to as "King of the Living" and "Foremost of the Westerners". Both of those titles were given to him because of his being the ruler of the dead, whom the ancient Egyptians called Westerners or The Living Ones. Considered to be a merciful judge of people in the afterlife, Osiris is also credited with the fertile flooding of the Nile, the sprouting of vegetation, and the granting of all life. Some of his other titles and attributes include the Lord of Silence, the Lord of Love and He Who is Permanently Benign and Youthful. ©GoShows - Osiris (right, seated) at the Weighing of the Heart Ceremony © Peter Roan - Osiris (Centre), Reliefs His Appearance Ancient paintings of Osiris often have him colored green or black. Green is said to be the color ancient Egyptians associated with rebirth. Black was the color associated with fertility: it was the color of the rich, fertile soil which stretched over the plains each year, when the River Nile overflowed, and played a huge role in Egypt's prosperity. In some rare instances, Osiris was depicted wearing a crown that included a rendering of the moon.

This has led some researchers to surmise he was associated with the moon or the night. History of Osiris © Xenocryst - Osiris Statuette Osiris is told to have been one of five children born to the god of the earth and the goddess of the skies, Geb and Nut respectively. Through this family tree he was also a great-grandson of one of the most popular Egyptian gods, Ra . Osiris had four younger siblings who would also play critical roles in his story: his brother Seth and two sisters known as Isis and Nephthys. As the firstborn child and son of Geb and Nut, it fell to Osiris to inherit the throne of Egypt. Seth married Nephthys and Osiris married Isis. Together, Isis and Osiris seemed to have possession of numerous powers. Their marriage was not destined to be happy, however. At one point, Nephthys appears to have magically taken on the appearance of Isis and presented herself to Osiris as his wife. Not knowing the difference, Osiris was seduced by Nephthys and she became pregnant and gave birth to Anubis .

Later, Seth developed a vendetta against his extremely popular sibling, possibly either because Osiris had inherited the throne or because he had gotten Seth's wife pregnant. At any rate, Seth sought to kill him by luring him into a coffin and drowning him in the Nile . The annual flooding of the Nile River is still thought to be representative of this event. Isis managed to recover her husband's body; however Seth was very stealthy and stole away with it. After cutting up the body of the Egyptian god of the underworld, Seth hid the pieces throughout the Egyptian desert. The connection between Isis and Osiris was so strong that the Egyptian goddess proceeded to spend a number of years searching for the mutilated body parts of her husband. She finally managed to find all of the pieces save one, and is believed to have used her magical powers to restore her husband's body. Although there are different versions to this part of the story, it seems Isis became pregnant, presumably by Osiris and gave birth to a son, Horus . Osiris died once again and descended to fully assume his duties as Egyptian god of the underworld.

© Jan - Osiris (center) with Isis and Horus Some versions of the history of Osiris state that when he descended into the underworld he took over several important roles and duties as Egyptian god of the underworld from Anubis, who was believed to have been his son. Other tales contend that he rightfully obtained the important role as Egyptian god of the underworld because he was the first god to have died. However he obtained the role, it became Osiris' responsibility to judge the souls of the dead. Fertility, Resurrection, and Everlasting Life It is said the dead kings of Egypt would rise with Osiris and inherit eternal life. By Egypt's New Kingdom it was said not only would the dead kings rise from the dead with him, but any Egyptian that performed the appropriate rituals would also. This belief that Osiris is responsible for new life after death caused him to be associated with the New Year and the cycles of nature. His worship continued to be popular until the rise of Christianity. At that time the Romans began to suppress the Egyptian religion and actively promote Christianity. Even in the face of active Roman suppression of the Egyptian religion, many people, Egyptians and others, continued to revere, sacrifice to, and worship him secretly for hundreds of years.

The Significance of the Resurrection To the ancient Egyptians, Osiris' resurrection after being slain by his evil brother Set represents the new beginning for good after it has defeated evil. To them, the tale was symbolized by the sun going into the world of the dead each night and being reborn with each new day. As such, he came to be identified as the Creator god who is king of the underworld and the afterlife and who controls life, death, rebirth, and resurrection. A pillar of continuity, representing the phallus created by Isis, became a symbol of the Ba or power of Osiris and was used in his worship. A Familiar Story It's not surprising if the story of Osiris sounds familiar. Many of the elements of his story are similar to the death and resurrection of Jesus. Where their stories are very different is what is said to happen to people after they die. Ancient Egyptians believed the deities Anubis, Ammut, Henefer, Ma'at , Osiris and Thoth would greet the person in the afterlife and perform the weighing of the heart ceremony. The person's heart was weighed against the feather of Ma'at.

If it was lighter than the feather they had lived a good, truthful life and would spend eternity in the kingdom of Osiris. ©GoShows - Osiris (right, seated) at the Weighing of the Heart Ceremony Worship In ancient Egypt, worship of Osiris was an important part of their everyday life. The story of his death at the hands of Seth and his 72 accomplices was retold each year as part of their worship. It was a story of regeneration and rebirth they saw play out each year with the cycle of the flooding of the Nile. Egypt was a very fertile place, one of the breadbaskets of the Old World. The ancient Egyptians attributed much of this to Osiris and they held many ceremonies to give praise to his name, actions, and attributes. Seen as the first king of Egypt, his symbols, the flail and the shepherd's staff, became important symbols of the pharaohs that came after him. His reign was viewed as the ideal which succeeding Egyptian rulers attempted to emulate. To his followers, he represented a time of peace, unity, and fertility.

Osiris was the good shepherd who was loved by his people and it was felt that paying homage and venerating him would help Egypt and Egyptians to be successful. It was believed worshiping him would forever ensure fertility, prosperity and plentiful crops on the banks of the Nile. © Jan - Royal butler Paatenemheb and his wife Tipuy worshiping Osiris Celebrations The celebrations dedicated to Osiris, including the Great Mystery Festival and a 5 day religious ritual, were held each spring. They included plays, story telling, religious services, feasting, and fun. Some of the celebrations commemorated his life by planting grain moistened with water from the Nile in gardens in the shape of Osiris. The grain's subsequent germination and growth symbolized his death and resurrection. Egyptians believed the sprouting grain symbolized his unwavering vitality and strength. The people praised Osiris as 'The one who came from heaven and was the bread which sustained the lives of mankind'. He was called 'The one who continues to be perfect'. These celebrations were held in the last month of the inundation of the Nile. Osiris Facts Osiris was one of Egypt's most important deities.

His exact origin is obscure, but he was known to have been a local god in Busiris, a city in Lower Egypt. He was worshiped in the temple at Abydos. He was later worshiped as the Hellenistic god Serapis. Greco-Roman writers associated him with Dionysus. Many modern people mistakenly refer to the Eye of Horus as the Eye of Osiris. Recently a 3,200 year old replica of the tomb of Osiris was discovered in in Sheikh Abd el-Qurna on Thebes' West bank.

Deities of the Afterlife Deities of the Afterlife Osiris Osiris is the major god of the Afterlife, also known as God of the Dead.ï¿½ He is usually depicted as a mummy with a crown on his head and his hands present holding scepters.[18,27,28]ï¿½ He is depicted in this manner, because in the Egyptian mythology, he became the God of the Underworld after his brother Seth killed him to gain his throne.ï¿½ï¿½ It was Isis, his sister and wife, that was able to bring him back to life through magic.ï¿½ He is also considered the god of agriculture, because of his death and resurrection, is associated with seed and regrowth of the seed.ï¿½ Oftentimes, the color of his face is green, black or gold. ï¿½Osiris was considered one of the most important Egyptian gods because ï¿½he symbolized the triumph of life over death.ï¿½ï¿½ He was also a judge of the deceased, and would not let any criminal journey to the pleasures of the Afterlife.

[18,27,28] Isis In Egyptian mythology, Isis was both sister and wife to Osiris, and the mother of Horus[18]ï¿½ The Egyptians believed when she found her husband Osiris murdered by Seth, his brother, she bound the pieces of his body with linens and used her magic to ï¿½bring him back to life in a limited way.ï¿½ï¿½ Isis is noted as the first to perform the mummification process.ï¿½ She is also known for her devotion to her son Horus, as depicted in the statue with him sitting on her lap.

[22]ï¿½ She eventually was able to gain the throne back for her son Horus and have Seth thrown out of the kingdom.ï¿½ ï¿½With determination, cunning, and a little magic, she was able to ensure that her son succeeded to the throne of his father.ï¿½ The story of Isis and Osiris, is a love story, a story of triumph over death, and the victory of good and right over brute force.ï¿½[22,28] Their story is one the most cherished in the Egyptian mythology.ï¿½ Isis has also been pictured with a throne emblem on her head because her name literally means ï¿½female of throneï¿½ or ï¿½Queen of the throneï¿½.[29]ï¿½ It is also believed ï¿½ Isis is the brightest star in the sky, Sirius, called Soped by the ancient Egyptians.ï¿½ï¿½ The story is the star disappears behind the sun for seventy days, (which is the estimated time for the mummification process to be completed) and then reappears to bring the Nile ï¿½s annual floodï¿½ waters to replenish the dry land

 for farming.ï¿½ This is symbolic of the deceased for rebirth into the afterlife.[28]ï¿½ Horus A falcon-headed sky god and the son of Osiris and Isis, Horus was also said to be the fifth son of Nut and Geb in another tale.ï¿½ Over the centuries, his stories and attributes blended together.ï¿½ The tale that still remains is he was raised by his mother Isis, hidden because his father, King Osiris was killed by his brother Seth, (uncle to Horus).ï¿½ When Horus grew up, he reclaimed his fatherï¿½s throne with the help of his mother.ï¿½ï¿½ There was a struggle for the throne, because Seth did not want to give up the throne.ï¿½ But in the court of all the gods, Horus rightfully became king.

ï¿½In Ancient Egypt, each king was Horus.ï¿½ When a king died, Egyptians said that the falcon had flown to Heaven and united with the Sun Disk.ï¿½ The next king became Horus.ï¿½ Like the Hawk, the king was a fighter, a warrior.ï¿½ This is why Horus, when shown as a hawk-headed man, wears an armored breast-plate.

[18,25,28] Anubis Anubis is the jackal or canine-headed god (with a body of a man) of embalming.[18]ï¿½ During embalming ceremonies, the main priest would have to wear a jackal mask and chant prayers while the process of evisceration took place.ï¿½ï¿½ It was believed Anubis had invented the embalming process for his King Osiris, ï¿½the first mummyï¿½.[23] Other resources credit Isis was the first to perform mummification on the King Osiris, and that Anubis came soon after.ï¿½ He was sometimes depicted as a full black canine with long sharp ears or just with the head of the canine as in the photo to the left.

The black colour of the canine may be symbolic of the ï¿½discoloration of the deceased body after mummificationï¿½, or it could also refer to ï¿½the rich dark soil of Egypt , from which new growth came every year.ï¿½[28]ï¿½ Valuing their dogs as companions, the Egyptians would often have their dogs mummified and buried with them.ï¿½ Maat The Goddess Maat was the goddess of truth, justice and balance.ï¿½ She was represented by ostrich feathers and was the goddess that would judge the deceased in the final phase of their trial to cross into the Afterlife.ï¿½ The deceased heart would be weighed against Maat, and if they were found to balance with the weight of the feather, then the person had lead a good and decent life and could enter into the Afterlife.ï¿½ But if the heart did not balance, then The Devourer (see below) would consume it.[2] Another resource describes Maat as the wife of Thoth, a god of wisdom.ï¿½ Both Maat and Thoth are responsible for ï¿½weighing the heartï¿½ of the deceased soul, to

 determine ifï¿½ they are worthy of an Afterlife.[24] ï¿½ Ahemait ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ Ahemait is the underworld goddess, also know as the Devouver, taking the form of part lion, crocodile, and hippopotamus.ï¿½ She devours the souls of the unworthy dead.[21,26]ï¿½ ï¿½The belief was Ahemait awaited the deceased whose hearts failed the test when weighed against Maat.ï¿½ Other resources say Ahemait was not worshipped and not considered a goddess, but she is what Egyptians feared, ï¿½threatening to bind them to eternal restlessness if they did not follow the principle of Maat.ï¿½[26] ï¿½The Egyptians would refer to her as a demon, yet she destroyed evil as a force for the good.ï¿½ She was also depicted as a guard for a lake of fire, where the unworthy hearts were cast.ï¿½ In this depiction, she was more of the guard of the lake of fire, so that the unworthy could not escape.[26]ï¿½ï¿½ Nehebk

au Nehebkau (or Nehebu-Kau) is known as the God of Protection and Magic for the pharaoh and all the Egyptians in both life and their afterlife.ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ He is also associated as the god that unites the deceased with their Ka and his name comes from the ancient Egyptian word for 'yoke together' or 'unite.ï¿½ His symbolic form is a snake with arms and legs (half human) or a snake with wings.ï¿½ Egyptians would pray to him to protect or cure them from the venomous snake bites.ï¿½ In the After life he was the god thought to feed the pharaoh and the other deceased who were found worthy and good.The drink known as the ï¿½Milk of Lightï¿½, which was a magical drink that could heal the deceased if they had been bitten by a poisonous animal was the liquid Nehebkau would offer to the deceased if needed.ï¿½ The myth of Nehebkau was he was bound to the Sun god swimming around in the primeval waters before the world was created.ï¿½ Another myth was he swallowed seven cobras and was able to use them for his

 magical power.ï¿½ Thus making him so powerful that the god Atem, ï¿½had to press his nail inot Nehebkauï¿½s spine, so he could control the snake god.ï¿½ï¿½ It was also believed he was one of the many gods that also helped to judge the deceased in the Halls of Maat.

[40]ï¿½ osiris - KingTutOne.com osiris God of the Underworld, Crop Fertility, Renewal, & Resurrection. Common Names: Osiris, Asar, Asari, Aser, Ausar, Ausir, Wesir, Usir, Usire or Ausare Osiris is often depicted holding the crook and flail. He is one of Egypt’s oldest gods and is known for his reign over the dead, resurrection, and fertility. In many depictions found within tombs and monuments, Osiris is almost always seen outlined in black and can be identified through his green skin. Like many great kings, Osiris wears a white crown, known as an Atef crown, with two ostrich feathers fastened to the sides of it. His crown became the symbol of Upper Egypt. According to Egyptian mythology, Osiris was born the first child of Nut and Geb. His other siblings were Set, Nephthys, and Isis. Later, Osiris married his sister Isis and together through their union, they produced Horus.

Osiris’ siblings play a major part in the popular mythological story whereby he is murdered and then resurrected, thus becoming the god of resurrection, renewal, and the god of the dead. God of Pertility and Renewal Osiris was the god of fertility but also many Egyptians looked to him for agricultural matters. It is believed his green skin came to symbolize the fertile soil filled with nutrients that were needed to grow crops. These nutrients were brought about through the annual flooding of the Nile and it was through Osiris that this yearly event occurred. To the Ancient Egyptians, the cycle of flooding, planting, and harvesting were all brought about through Osiris’s life-giving forces. According to Egyptian folklore, it was Osiris who civilized all Egyptians and taught them the art of agriculture. Although not proven, the myths claimed, that before Osiris’ teachings the early Egyptians partook in cannibalism. It was through the kindness of Osiris and his wisdom that things changed as he showed them how to be civilized. It is said that Osiris brought new principles to the Egyptians such as rebirth of culture and life.

The life-giving forces of Osiris were important to the Ancient Egyptians, so much so, that the process was often shown through corn-mummies brought to funerals. These simulated mummies were not actual mummies but bricks made of mud with the shape of Osiris embedded into them. These hollow bricks acted as pots and were filled with moistened soil and seeds left to germinate; thereby, showcasing the life-giving forces of Osiris. The more advanced corn mummies were wrapped in linen and many had realistic wax figures of Osiris inside. God of the Dead Osiris’ association with fertility and helping to civilize Egypt is not the only thing attributed to him. His main iconic stance in Ancient Egypt was his reign over the dead. How he got this position remains a mystery; however, many Egyptologists conclude this position was appointed to him due to Osiris being one of the first gods to die by his brother Set and then later resurrected by his wife Isis. Probably one of the most popular representations of Osiris today comes from The Book of the Dead. There, he sits upon a throne and judges the dead before their entrance into the Afterworld.

A scale is placed before the deceased person’s soul and it is weighed against the feather of Ma’at. If the heart is heavy with sin, it outweighs the feather of Ma’at then is thrown to the demon Goddess Ammit where it would then be destroyed. This resulted in a nonexistent fate to the dead person. If the outcome was in the favor of the deceased, the dead would be allowed to reside with Osiris in the Underworld. The Cult of Osiris and Abydos Like many of the Ancient Egyptian gods, Osiris did have a cult that was centered on him. This cult was a major religious movement during the Middle Kingdom and was greatly promoted by Senusret III. The cult was such a movement that many Egyptians purposely sought a pilgrimage to Abydos where a temple was dedicated solely to him. There, many of the Egyptians who participated in this cult enjoyed the festivities such as rituals, celebrations, and ceremonies. A yearly major festival was held to reenact the mysteries of Osiris. This reenactment consisted of Osiris’ life and the journey to Abydos. After the first reenactment, another reenactment then followed glorifying the burial and resurrection at the tomb of Djer.

It was not uncommon for cult followers to bury their loved ones or make arrangements to be buried at the site. If being buried in Abydos was not possible, family members would commemorate their loved one’s mummy on site then bury the body in a new location. This was practiced under the notion that because Osiris made the trip to Abydos, so should his followers. Though many of the festivities to honor Osiris were held at his temple in Abydos, the site was also used to honor other gods as well. The temple of Abydos was first constructed by Sety I and later finished by Rameses II. The Osirian cult flourished due to the fact that ordinary people could participate in funerary rights that were once reserved for the royal families. This alone attracted many followers and private individuals that were able to construct stelae tablets (tombstones with inscriptions that marked the tomb boundaries) proclaiming their rights to Osiris. This allowed them to also receive blessings that were once considered only for pharaohs. This was not the only reason for its growth, many Egyptians saw the religion as attractive because it focused on their core values of life and justified their meaning.

It also incorporated the fertility of the Nile and proclaimed rebirth for all individuals who participated in the cult. Egyptian | The Many Names Of God And Their Meanings The Many Names Of God And Their Meanings Names of Gods and Goddesses – Egyptian The following are the names of Egyptian gods and goddesses: God of Sun Ra or Re was the ancient Egyptian solar deity. By the Fifth Dynasty he had become a major god in ancient Egyptian religion, identified primarily with the midday sun. The meaning of the name is thought that if not a word for ‘sun’ it may be a variant of or linked to words meaning ‘creative power’ and ‘creator’. The major cult centre of Ra was Heliopolis (called Iunu, “Place of Pillars”, in Egyptian), where he was identified with the local sun-god Atum. In later Egyptian dynastic times, Ra was merged with the god Horus, as Re-Horakhty (“Ra, who is Horus of the Two Horizons”). He was believed to rule in all parts of the created world the sky, the earth, and the underworld. He was associated with the falcon or hawk.

Music Hathor, meaning “mansion of Horus” is an Ancient Egyptian goddess who personified the principles of joy, feminine love, and motherhood. Hathor was worshiped by Royalty and common people alike in whose tombs she is depicted as “Mistress of the West” welcoming the dead into the next life. In other roles she was a goddess of music, dance, foreign lands and fertility who helped women in childbirth, as well as the patron goddess of miners. Destruction Sekhmet, Sachmis, Sakhmet, Sekhet, or Sakhet was originally the warrior goddess as well as goddess of healing for Upper Egypt. She is depicted as a lioness, the fiercest hunter known to the Egyptians. It was said that her breath created the desert. She was seen as the protector of the pharaohs and led them in warfare. Sekhmet also is a solar deity, sometimes called the daughter of the sun god Ra and often associated with the goddesses Hathor and Bast. She bears the solar disk and the Uraeus which associates her with Wadjet and royalty.

With these associations she can be construed as being a divine arbiter of the goddess Ma’at (Justice, or Order) in the Judgment Hall of Osiris, associating her with the Wedjat (later the Eye of Ra), and connecting her with Tefnut as well. Sky Nut or Neuth, Nuit or Newet was the goddess of the sky in the Ennead of Egyptian mythology. She was seen as a star-covered nude woman arching over the earth, or as a cow. Earth Geb was the Egyptian god of the Earth and a member of the Ennead of Heliopolis. It was believed in ancient Egypt that Geb’s laughter were earthquakes and that he allowed crops to grow. The name was pronounced as such from the Greek period onward and was formerly erroneously read as Seb or as Keb. The original Egyptian was “Gebeb”/”Kebeb”, meaning probably: ‘weak one’, perhaps ‘lame one’. Dead Osiris is variously transliterated Asar, Asari, Aser, Ausar, Ausir, Wesir, Usir, Usire or Ausare, was an Egyptian god, usually identified as the god of the afterlife, the underworld and the dead.

He was classically depicted as a green-skinned man with a pharaoh’s beard, partially mummy-wrapped at the legs, wearing a distinctive crown with two large ostrich feathers at either side, and holding a symbolic crook and flail. Osiris was at times considered the oldest son of the Earth god Geb, and the sky goddess Nut, as well as being brother and husband of Isis, with Horus being considered his posthumously begotten son.As ruler of the dead, Osiris was also sometimes called “king of the living”, since the Ancient Egyptians considered the blessed dead “the living ones”.Osiris was considered not only a merciful judge of the dead in the afterlife, but also the underworld agency that granted all life, including sprouting vegetation and the fertile flooding of the Nile River. He was described as the “Lord of love”, “He Who is Permanently Benign and Youthful” and the “Lord of Silence”. Desert Set or Seth; also spelled Setesh, Sutekh, Setekh, or Suty) is a god of the desert, storms, and foreigners in ancient Egyptian religion. In later myths he is also the god of darkness, and chaos.

In Ancient Greek, the god’s name is given as Sēth (Σήθ). In Egyptian mythology, Set is portrayed as the usurper that killed and mutilated his own brother Osiris. Osiris’ wife Isis reassembled Osiris’ corpse and embalmed him. Osiris’ son Horus sought revenge upon Set, and the myths describe their conflicts. Pharoah Horus is one of the oldest and most significant deities in ancient Egyptian religion. Different forms of Horus are recorded in history, and these are treated as distinct gods by Egyptologists. He was most often depicted as a falcon, most likely a lanner or peregrine, or as a man with a falcon head. The most commonly encountered family relationship describes Horus as the son of Isis and Osiris but in another tradition Hathor is regarded as his mother and sometimes as his wife. Horus served many functions in the Egyptian pantheon, most notably being the god of the sun, war and protection. Magic Isis (Ancient Greek: Ἶσις, original Egyptian pronunciation more likely Aset) was worshipped by Egyptians as the ideal mother and wife as well as the patron of nature and magic.

She was the friend of slaves, sinners, artisans, and the downtrodden, and she listened to the prayers of the wealthy, maidens, aristocrats, and rulers. Isis is often depicted as the mother of Horus, the hawk-headed god of war and protection (although in some traditions Horus’s mother was Hathor). Isis is also known as protector of the dead and goddess of children. The name Isis means “Throne”[citation needed]. Her headdress is a throne. As the personification of the throne, she was an important representation of the pharaoh’s power. The pharaoh was depicted as her child, who sat on the throne she provided. Wisdom Thoth; from Greek Θώθ, from Egyptian ḏḥwty, perhaps pronounced ḏiḥautī was considered one of the more important deities of the Egyptian pantheon. In art, he was often depicted as a man with the head of an ibis or a baboon, animals sacred to him.

As in the main picture, Thoth is almost always shown holding a Was (a wand or rod symbolizing power) in one hand and an Ankh (the key of the Nile symbolizing life) in the other hand. His feminine counterpart was Seshat, and his wife was Ma’at. Thoth played many vital and prominent roles in Egyptian mythology, such as maintaining the universe, and being one of the two deities (the other being Ma’at) who stood on either side of Ra’s boat. In the later history of ancient Egypt, Thoth became heavily associated with the arbitration of godly disputes, the arts of magic, the system of writing, the development of science, and the judgment of the dead. Embalming Anubis, Ancient Greek: Ἄνουβις, is the Greek name for a jackal-headed god associated with mummification and the afterlife in ancient Egyptian religion. Anubis was the most important god of the dead but he was replaced during the Middle Kingdom by Osiris.

He takes names in connection with his funerary role, such as He who is upon his mountain, which underscores his importance as a protector of the deceased and their tombs, and the title He who is in the place of embalming, associating him with the process of mummification. Like many ancient Egyptian deities, Anubis assumes different roles in various contexts. Justice Maat or ma’at, also spelled māt or mayet, was the ancient Egyptian concept of truth, balance, order, law, morality, and justice. Maat was also personified as a goddess regulating the stars, seasons, and the actions of both mortals and the deities, who set the order of the universe from chaos at the moment of creation. Her (ideological) counterpart was Isfet. After her role in creation and continuously preventing the universe from returning to chaos, her primary role in Egyptian mythology dealt with the weighing of souls that took place in the underworld, Duat. Her feather was the measure that determined whether the souls (considered to reside in the heart) of the departed would reach the paradise of afterlife successfully.

Pharaohs are often depicted with the emblems of Maat to emphasise their role in upholding the laws of the Creator. Creation Amun (also Amon, Amen, Greek Ἄμμων Ammon, Ἅμμων Hammon) was the patron deity of Thebes, replacing Monthu. After the rebellion of Thebes against the Hyksos and with the rule of Ahmose I, Amun acquired national importance, expressed in his fusion with the Sun god, Ra, as Amun-Ra. Amun-Ra retained chief importance in the Egyptian pantheon. He was the champion of the poor or troubled and central to personal piety. His position as King of Gods developed to the point of virtual monotheism where other gods became manifestations of him. Ammon came to be identified with Zeus in Ancient Greece. Cats Bastet is the feline goddess of ancient Egyptian religion who was worshipped at least since the Second Dynasty. Her name is also spelled Bast, Baast, Ubasti and Baset. Originally she was viewed as the protector goddess of Lower Egypt.

As protector, she was seen as defender of the pharaoh, and consequently of the later chief male deity, Ra, who was also a solar deity, gaining her the titles Lady of Flame and Eye of Ra. Her role in the Egyptian pantheon became diminished as Sekhmet, a similar lioness war deity, became more dominant in the unified culture of Lower and Upper Egypt.

OSIRIS EGYPTIAN GOD Osiris Egyptian God was the oldest son of Geb (God of Earth) and Nut (Sky Goddess), he was brother of Set and Nephthys, also brother and husband of Isis, and father of Horus. He is known as Osiris Egyptian God of afterlife, underworld and dead, Judge of the dead that granted all life, including vegetation of the Nile River, he was also consider Lord of Love and Science. It was believed during the sixth Dynasty that dead people were judge after death for the wrong doings they did while they lived, this was called "Negative Confessions". The judgment was made by a tribunal of forty two divine judges. If the deceased lived within the perceptions of Goddess Ma'at (which represented truth and right living) and the moral fitness, they could live on Osiris' kingdom, but if they failed, would be subject of punishment. Another myth says that when Osiris took the throne from Geb when he abdicated, Egyptians were cannibals, making Osiris disturbed. Therefore he taught them what to eat, how to worship Gods, laws and agriculture. For this he became Osiris Egyptian God of Agriculture as well.

Most myths of Osiris Egyptian God are found as early as the fifth Dynasty, one of them says that Nephthys took the appearance of Isis to try to get pregnant by Set, but instead Osiris got her pregnant thinking was his wife, giving birth later to Anubis. Another very important Egyptian myth says that Set and the Queen of Ethiopia, along with other seventy-two conspirators created a plan to kill Osiris. Set tricked Osiris to get inside of a box during a party that he threw on Osiris' honor. When Osiris was inside the box, Set shut it down and sealed it, creating this way the first sarcophagus, and then threw it into the Nile. Isis then went in search of the box, finding it inside the trunk of a tree located inside of a Palace of Byblos, bringing it back to Egypt. Later Isis used a spell she learned from ra, and brought Osiris back to life just for enough time for him to get her pregnant, later Isis gave birth to Horus. One night Set was hunting and found Osiris' body, upset, he tore the body into fourteen pieces and spread them all over Egypt.

Isis went one more time in look for her husband's body, finding only thirteen pieces, missing only the penis, because it was swallowed by a fish. His body was bandaged together for a burial. The Gods were impress in how devoted Isis was towards her husband, that they revived him to become Osiris Egyptian God of the underworld. Because of his death and resurrection, Osiris is associated with the flooding and retreating of the Nile, also there was an important festival dedicated to him. It was divided in two phases, one beginning at Abydos on 17th of Athyr (November 13th), on this day the grain was planted to commemorate Osiris' death, and his resurrection was celebrated on Larson 17, when the grain had grew up. As with other Gods, Osiris was merged with the God of Reincarnation, Ptah-Seker, becoming Ptah-Seker-Osiris. But there was also another way that Osiris was worshiped: Osiris' Ba (his soul) was worshiped on his own right, specially on the Delta city of Mendes. His soul was called Banebdjedet (also spell Banebded or Banedjed).

As Banebdjedet, Osiris was called "Lord of the Sky" and "Life of the Sun God Ra". His symbols are the crook and flail, his cult center was at Abydos, Busiris and Heliopolis. He is portrayed as a green skinned man with pharaoh's beard mummified, with a crown with two larges ostrich feathers. When the Christian Era started, the worship of Osiris Egyptian God came to an end. 1000+ images about Egypte - Osiris on Pinterest | Seti i, Isis and Underworld Osiris, Egyptian Deities, god of the afterlife, the underworld and the dead, son of Geb (Earth God) and Nut (Sky Goddess), brother and husband of Isis, father of Horus See More
