Research this week: Udjat

One of the cool things about being a writer is the research. Here is what I’ve been googling this week:


Udjat (Eye of Horus): Depicted as a human eye and eyebrow as they would be seen looking at a person full-faced. The eye is decorated with the markings that adorn the eyes of hawks. Usually, it is the right eye shown as the udjat, although the left is not uncommon. This is probably because of another myth that says the sun and the moon were the right (sun) and left (moon) eyes of the sky god and the sun is seen as more powerful. (source)

Udjat - or all seeing eye. One of few symbols referring to Lucifer. Below the eye is a tear because he mourns for those outside his influence. (source)
