| Yes, there is a disportionately large selection of images of my favorite Egyptian deity. Who is this god-dude with the funny ears? The Ancient Egyptians called him "Great in Strength". Set is "He Before Whom the Sky Shakes", in his role of God of Thunder and Lightning. He's 'loud' and he's proud. Pride of being is his essence. Set was also given the title "the great one of two-fold strength". Thus, he immanates Power, electrical, chaotic, and fierce, but that which enables Worlds to be brought into being. 'Enemy of Boundaries', he pushes the limits. Although sometimes feared as the God of Chaos, the ancients understood that Set has a necessary role in the cosmos. Although a shapeshifter, he's most often recognised by his tall, squared off ears and snout. I like to think those ears imply he's 'keen of hearing', in his state of being supremely aware. |
