Glazed faience wadjet eye amulet

The Eye of Horus is an ancient Egyptian symbol that represents protection, health, and restoration. It’s often associated with the god Horus, who was depicted as a falcon or a man with the head of a falcon.

According to Egyptian mythology, Horus lost his eye in a battle with his uncle Seth, but it was later healed by the god Thoth, symbolizing the restoration of his power. This healing process became the symbol of the Eye of Horus.

Each part of the eye also had a specific meaning and value in ancient Egyptian measurements, relating to fractions of a whole, symbolizing wholeness and balance. The Eye of Horus was commonly worn as an amulet for protection, and it was believed to ward off evil and bring good fortune.

Late Period, 26th Dynasty, ca. 664-525 BC. Now in the British Museum. EA29222

Kemetic Diety Jar

This is just some basic items that each deity likes. The intention behind this is to in a deity jar (which can be worn as a necklace), as opposed to these being offerings.

These items can be used as something to put on an alter, but from the research I did, there are other things you would offer to them.

What's your opinion on the petpet Wadjet?

Wadjets are mostly just a snake, but they have a distinct Lost Desert flair to them. Outside of the eye liner, their bodies have a distinct ringed look to them with thick black accent lines, which fits the land without being too over-the-top about it and makes them very pretty. It's even said they can be mistaken for necklaces when around a Neopet's neck, which I think is cute and works well with their design.

I will say though that their art is very dated—they were released in 2001 and never redrawn, and it shows (especially in the larger How to Draw art above). Not only do they have very light shading that's barely noticeable, but the lineart's a bit too thin and looks almost wobbly in a few spots. The L pose also feels a little unnatural, like their body should curl down at the bend and then go up. This TCG art looks pretty good as a clean-up example, though I do think the gold rings should curve around the upper body more:

I'd love to see a redraw for these guys to clean them up, but given how low that is on TNT's concerns list I wouldn't expect to see it anytime soon.

Favorite Colours:

Rainbow: There's very little to talk about in terms of colours for these guys because they're all pretty generic, but I like the rainbow one quite a bit. I think it's neat how the rings divide each color change and it keeps the gold accents separate, which some other colours fail to do.

Ghost: I like how this one takes all the yellow accents and makes them red instead of just making the rings the same color as the body; it really makes it pop and balances the colors nicely.

Yellow: There's nothing really special about this one, but given that the Wadjet already has gold accents by default I think it looks really pretty with a yellow base and deeper golden yellow rings.

Least Favorite Colour:

Royal: You probably could argue that this isn't as bad as some of the bland Wadjet colours, but I don't know, this one just doesn't do it for me. Even if you can put aside how they just kept the body green instead of choosing something to match the palette, the robe covers up all the interesting body markings. There's also something weird about putting European king clothing on a creature from the Neopets equivalent of ancient Egypt.

It's the end of the year, with Christmas and New Year's celebrations. Did you know that the ancient Egyptians already had the notion of 12 months in the year and the celebration of the New Year? This makes me wonder what the gods were doing at these times. After all, regardless of the Christian meaning they forced on this date (since it was a pagan date before), it's a time for gatherings

It's Horus' birthday, so he clearly spends the whole day talking about it and wanting to receive gifts. Unfortunately for him, he's the typical case of people who only get one gift for Christmas and their birthday

Hathor is definitely organizing a huge family dinner and setting up a shiny Christmas tree in the middle of the palace. She lets Ihy put up the Christmas star

Imseti and Hapi definitely still think Santa Claus exists

Seth didn't want to go, but since he was forced, he's going to make it everyone's problem and bring the silliest arguments to the table. Unfortunately, no one is immune to Seth's annoyance, so they end up arguing a lot all night long

Isis just wanted an excuse to get the family together and celebrate, but half of the family hates each other and the other half is so distant that it's hard to find them. She spent most of the year getting them together for this party, so Isis definitely brought a lot of good food and several gifts for the ones she really loves

Thoth and Ma'at show up for two minutes to wish Horus a happy Christmas/birthday and then disappear back to their work

Anubis didn't want to be there and he really isn't. He stayed for the first half hour, saw the first fight and then sneaked out. He won't be seen again until January

Nephthys loves family gatherings and is the one who brings albums and takes lots of pictures

Sekhmet and Sobek keep betting on who can set off the most fireworks and have already burned a few things in the process

Osiris is wearing his beloved custom sweaters for Christmas. He makes Isis and Horus wear them too. And he is definitely the uncle who makes the stupid jokes at Christmas dinner, sorry but I don't make the rules

Serket keeps changing the song every five seconds because nothing pleases her, ignoring the others' complaints by skipping songs they like

Wadjet and Tawaret are trying to keep the children busy so they don't turn the palace upside down, but they keep getting distracted by talking and the cute decorations in the house

Ptah and Khnum are just in the corner, enjoying the few snippets of music they can hear while they talk about life. There might be a lot of crying in a few minutes

Kebechet really wanted to stay awake and see in the New Year with her parents, but she fell asleep in a few minutes and didn't wake up even with the noisy family

Gebe and Nut spend New Year's Eve in love and ignoring the rest of the family

Anput gives the best gifts for Secret Santa and New Year's Eve, but she always ends up getting things like socks and picture frames

On New Year's, it must be a different kind of gathering. Everyone gathers at the Pharaoh's (Horus) palace and there are drinking competitions, lots of beautiful fireworks and dancing. Everyone looks forward to the flooding of the Nile as the main attraction of the night and it is generally a very good time of year. I wonder if there would be as much chaos, but I can definitely imagine Ra making all the silly "I'll do it next year" jokes.

I really love the end of the year, I hope everyone is having a great holiday!

Wadjet Eye Amulet

Third Intermediate Period, ca. 1070-664 BC. Made of Egyptian faience and aragonite. Now in the Metropolitan Museum of Art. 26.7.1032

Wadjet eye amulets were among the most popular amulets of ancient Egypt. The wadjet eye represents the healed eye of the god Horus and embodies healing power as well as regeneration and protection in general.

This faience eye here is an intriguing combination of the regular wadjet eye with a wing, two uraei, and a lion. This combination alludes to various ancient Egyptian stories that involve the eye of the sun-god Re.
