#eye of horus
““Eye of Horus” is the cultic expression for every offering item, not just water. Every offering item was thus represented as a substance that restored something that had been lost, that returned something that had been stolen, that renewed something that had been used up, that replenished something that had been reduced, that put together something that had fallen apart - in short, it was the symbol of a reversibility that could heal everything, even death.”— Jan Assmann, “Death & Salvation in Ancient Egypt” p.357

Heru (Horus) is the sky, and the sun is said to be his right eye. The Eye of Horus is a powerful protective symbol, and I thought we could all use a little more protection in our current situation.
