The All Seeing Eye Wood Sculpture

Signed P.J. Bramley

The gazing eye is able to rotate a full 360 degrees. The eye of Horus or the eye of Ra?

The eye of Ra is often confused with the eye of Horus. However, the two are quite distinct. The eye of Ra represents the right eye, and the eye of Horus the left eye (see fourth photo).

Ra is the sun god, his power is quite close to the almighty gods of the monotheistic religions. In this sense, his power of vision is thus unlimited, his eye is called “the eye that sees everything”. This is not the case with Horus, whose powers are limited and whose protection is mostly linked to physical integrity.

The eye of Horus is a strong protective symbol, used for thousands of years by the Egyptians. It is associated with vision (especially the power of vision between the afterlife and the world of the living), the protection of physical integrity and health.

It should be noted that the Eye of Horus symbol corresponds to the location of the Third Eye, represented by the sixth chakra. The sixth chakra represents the seat of intuition and clairvoyance (including the ability to “see” things usually hidden).
