HORUS Horus was once two distinct gods, the Elder in the form of the falcon or the falcon –headed God, brother of Set, later identifiable with Ra and the younger, a naked youth with a lock of hair over his face and his finger on his lips. Other versions see the elder Horus not as brother as Set but the young Horus in his mature adult form who was able to take on kingship. The young Horus was, sometimes synonymous with the young Lotus God and the rising sun that was born anew each day. So he represented all kinds of new beginnings both in the year and in people’s lives Welcomed at all royal festivals, Horus is sometimes depicted as a falcon wearing the double crown of Egypt or in his falcon-headed form with a crown. A falcon was engraved behind statues of kings sitting on their thrones or hovering overhead. Invoke the young Horus for healing, for renewal and new beginnings, enthusiasm, action and courage and the elder Horus for power, responsibility and nobility. His colour is green for his wings and gold
