Egyptian Hawk Deities (Part 2)

Seriously, they're not all Horus. ;)

Hotep (peace) everyone,

So I know I said I'd probably be pretty much dead on YouTube for a while, but apparently- I lied. ;)

No, actually I just got a really good idea for a video while I was laying in bed last night, and thought you all might be interested to hear about it. This two-part video is basically a disambiguation of Egyptian hawk Deities, as most people have a misconception that Egyptian + hawk = Horus, when this is most certainly NOT always the case. As such, I give a breakdown of how to tell the difference between Heru-sa-Aset, Heru-Wer, Ra, Ra-Heruakhety, and Khonsu. This is by all means NOT the only hawk deities you will run into in any studies of Egyptian Gods, but they are pretty well-known.

I also speak a bit in the end about syncretization and how I view syncretized deities... and give a pretty tasty analogy. xD Enjoy!

Senebty (May you be healthy),

Laura

You are NOT bugging anyone. This was very very very interesting. I think you should share your new Khemetic spirituality and all your new knowledge with us. Suddenly I am DRAWN toward Egyptian Spirituality. Isis and Bast have always been a part of my spiritual practices. But now I am feeling drawn toward the entire pantheon. I think I will check out Khemeticism. Thank you !

I like my Djehuty. . .part-time ibis, part-time baboon. That's totes how I roll. XD

I think the only difference between Isis with the solar crown and Hathor with the solar crown is Isis will be holding an ankh, Hathor never holds an ankh. I prefer meh throne headdress lol.
