Anubis Seated | |
|
The Egyptians didn't
worship the animals,
but the forces of
nature that they
symbolized. Anubis,
God of the Dead,
represented with a
head of a jackal or
simply as a jackal
opened the road to
the other world and
presided over
embalming ceremonies.
After a funeral,
Anubis would take the
deceased by the hand
and introduce him
into the presence of
the sovereign judges
where the soul of the
deceased would be
weighed. Anubis was
the ceremony by heirs
of the deceased and
he also guarded the
mummy form evil
forces in the body
was embalmed, a
priest wearing a
jackal mask acted as
Anubis
representative. He
also was the guardian
of the Sacred
Esoteric Mysteries.
The origin of this
god lay in the fact
that jackals could be
heard howling in the
desert to the west of
the Nile at sunset-at
the time when burials
took place.
