Another peculiar question about V

Grigori

Is Horus wearing a green sandle on one foot in the Heirophant? If so, why?
 

Grigori

No comments huh? Guess its a pretty weird question, but my curiosity is peaked. I've googled everything I can find on Horus's shoes, and while there plenty of mentions of his sandals, nothing about one only, or that its green. I wonder if there's some other story this could refer to? All I can think of is Cinderella and I think thats a pretty far fetched theory... (Although I quite love the idea of Crowley referencing a Disney movie! LOL)
 

Grigori

Oh oh oh! While posting about Cinderella I had the idea to google for one sandle. Jason (of the argonauts) was prophysied to over throw his Uncle, and his Uncle was warned about being overthrown by a man in one sandal. Could this be a reference to Horus overthrowing Osiris?

Well I'm happy with that as an explanation, so that stupid sandal can stop mocking me :)

Medicine in Ancient Egypt

The following incantations are quoted from John F. Nunn,
Ancient Egyptian Medicine (2003) British Museum Press:

Flow out, poison. Come forth. Go forth on to the ground.
Horus will exorcise you. He will punish you. He will spit you out.
Repelled is the enemy that is in the wound.

Cast out is the evil that is in the blood....

I am under the protection of Isis; my rescue is the son of Osiris.
I am Horus, the young child with his finger to his mouth;
the sandal of Horus is what tramples the nekhi snake.

so, is this what Crowley was referencing? Very mysterious, did Nunn get this incantation from...hieroglyphs or something else?

This makes sense, Fulgour. The singular sandle of Horus defeats the snake. Horus' right foot is sandled, ready to trample evil. It looks like he's stepping forward forcefully. In our time, what is the snake he tramples?

could an american understand it? (I guess I am only partly kidding here, and I am actually only speaking for myself!) I had 777 (is that the name? By A. C.) and never read it, it seemed a very heavy read, and well, difficult to understand.
can I order thru here?

I must say my curiosity is piqued, and my new found interest in Egypt is leadng me into a lot of new territory, things I never knew existed. I really appreciate that quote, Fulgour, thanks.

The quotation from Nunn was taken from an article in:
Women in the Ancient World by James C. Thompson

to see the article go to: Medicine in Ancient Egypt

Nunn's book is a summary of his painstaking research on
Egyptian concepts of anatomy, physiology and pathology,
probably more of a good read if you're a research specialist.
