The Shining Connection Between Seth and Horus

The Shining Connection Between Seth and Horus

The image of the winged Seth at the Hibis Temple in the Kargeh Oasis, a deity who combined Seth and Horus to defeat Apophis Although this deity is called the Strong One it has a different meaning from the evil Seth On the contrary it is positive and never fails Seth's name was still associated with a creature or a symbol of evil The ancient Egyptians found a way to deal with Seth's ambiguous nature by dividing him into two deities good and evil The events of Seth the Gleaming One reappear to illustrate the mysterious Seth

The powerful figure on the Island of Wrath in the Edfou scene is called Horus the Gleaming One the protector who protects his father from enemies The appearance of Horus the Gleaming One the divine symbol in this scene is presumably due to confusion The appearance of the radiant god is a testament to the god's good and evil qualities which arises from the confusion between place names and from the fact that the god Horus for his connection to the radiant Seth and Horus is connected Alternative symbolism or symbolism should not appear in the group scenes of the gods worshipped by the pharaoh in the temple commemorating Horus victory over Seth This suggests that it should not be confused with the evil Seth who in the same temple was represented by other gods Various Seth creatures are bound and pierced with spears This difference between the two gods is clearly seen in the scene of the gods from the small Temple of Amun at Medinet.

All the negative aspects of Seth and Seth's lack of direct attack on the gods while his positive aspects such as his role as the slayer of Apophis are conveyed by the radiant Seth. Despite the latter's positive character the name Seth is still written with the same evil designation as the Seth creatures at the Temple of Edfu In the scene from the Mammis in the Temple of Tutu at Kelis the name Seth is rendered harmless by avoiding the Seth designation. 

The radiant Seth He appears as an eighth god a humanoid figure whose original long pointed nose remains in the time of Lepsius Similarly in a scene from the Mummy of the Temple of Tutu at Kelis an ancient Egyptian chapel connected to the Great Temple Seth the Radiant also appears as a human being This contradiction is confirmed suggesting the reappearance of Seth the Radiant. In the definition of the title The Radiant Khepri comes to reach His children, born at the right time His ka is within them His body is within them They are His children His creation
