ABOUT HORUS AMULETS

The eye of Horus is probably the most recognised symbol of ancient Egypt. In Egyptian mythology, Horus was a son of Osiris (Ausar) and Isis (Aset). Horus helped his mother to retreive the missing body parts of his murdered father, in order for his mother to bring his father back to life. Horus lost his eye in battle with his uncle Seth, who was his father's murderer. The missing eye of Horus was replaced by Ra (the sungod), grandfather of Horus.

The eye of Horus is a very evocative symbol, representing the love and support of family, dogged determination, resurrection, and good luck. it is a symbol of good triumphing over evil, and is thought to protect the wearer.
