Maybe one of the most popular and widespread symbols in both science and occult
arts. This symbol is plain, yet mysteriously beautiful. Moreover, its magical
wisdom is hidden because of its tremendous power, which is no other by the power
which lies in you! So, let’s take a look at the importance and the meaning of the
Infinity Symbol.
What you can now see is that the risen Uraeus, is the one who messes with the
perfect symbol of ∞. Furthermore, the risen Ureaus is the eye of the Sun, ready to
claim its power and defend what needs to be defended. Thus, it is ready to fight
against darkness and oblivion. Hence the Iaret Uraeus has risen up and is awakened!
3. It’s Ouroboros – ∞
Mehet Uraeus (the coiled one) is simply Ouroboros. The secret teaching is that we
are bound to repeat our incarnations as we stick to this Realm. A Witch (meaning an
awakened one) should realise that this Life offers all kinds of experiences which
should be received as lessons for the Awakening. Once we have been awakened, we can
end the circle of infinite incarnations, exactly as many ancient religions teach
like Hinduism and Buddhism.
As we’ve already seen, Ouroboros has been used to symbolise the eternal life and
the following incarnations.
Sometimes, you just want to say something more elegant than, ''Hey, check out that
snake thing on the pharaoh's crown.'' Well, that snake thing is called a uraeus,
and it's an ancient Kemetic symbol of a reared snake, typically a cobra. The uraeus
was attached to the very front of the pharaoh's crowns.
Uraeus Symbol
Uraeus is an important symbol associated with the Gods, Goddesses, and Ngr/Niggers
aka Pharaohs of ancient Kemet. It is represented by the image of an upright cobra
in a threatening pose and is believed to have its origins in ‘Iaret’, a Kemet word
meaning ‘the risen one’. The icon symbolized divine authority, royalty,
sovereignty, and supremacy and was worn as a crown or head ornament by the ancient
Kemetic divinities and rulers.
This sacred serpent symbol reiterated the connection between the Gods and the
Pharaohs and wearing the Uraeus conveyed legitimacy to the royal personage. The
rearing cobra indicated that the ruler enjoyed the protection and patronage of
Goddess Wadjet, the Lower Kemet deity. After the unification of Kemet, the Uraeus
was depicted together with the Vulture, which was the symbol of Nekhbet, the
patroness of Upper Kemet. The merged symbol was called ‘The Two Ladies’, the joint
protectors of the country.
The first Uraeus is believed to have been made from earth’s dust and the spittle of
Sun-God by the Goddess Auset who used it to gain the throne of Kemet for Ausar, her
husband. Besides being used as a royal emblem or adornment, Uraeus is also an
important Medu/Metu Neter aka Hieroglyphics referring to a priestess, Goddess, or
shrine of Goddess. It can be seen in the ancient Kemetic relics, artifacts,
manuscripts, tombs, and temples
Now that you know what it's called, it's time to learn how to talk about it.
Wadjet
Why do pharaohs put a stylized rearing cobra on their crowns? To understand this,
we need some background on Kemetic mythology. In Kemetic art, the cobra often
represented the goddess Wadjet. Wadjet was a protective deity and daughter of the
sun god, Ra. Her job was essentially to help protect Kemet and the cosmos from
chaos, the ultimate evil in Kemetic mythology.
Wadjet was one of the oldest deities in the Kemetic pantheon, worshipped from the
earliest evidence of Kemetic civilization and presumably even beyond that. In fact,
her cult actually predates unified Kemet itself. Wadjet was specifically the
protective deity of Lower Kemet, the kingdom based around the Nile Delta. Even
after the Lower and Upper Kingdoms unified into a single state, Wadjet would always
remain a symbol of this part of Kemet. In fact, one of the ubiquitous symbols of
unified Kemet is the Eye of Ra with a vulture (a protective symbol of Upper Kemet)
and the uraeus (the symbol of Wadjet and therefore of Lower Kemet).
As a symbol of unified Kemet, the uraeus was also a symbol of royal authority.
Wearing the uraeus on the crown demonstrated that the pharaoh was divinely
appointed by the Kemetic Neteru to rule over all of Kemet and that his authority
was unquestionable. This was reinforced by the fact that the uraeus also implicitly
evoked the authority of Wadjet's father (the sun god, Ra).
