Horus - The Sky God

Resurrection is a common theme these days whether its Easter honouring Jesus Christ and his crucifiction and resurrection or how we gain back our own lives from the brink of sadness, depression or loss of some kind.

I occaisonally get glimpses of something "other" not fitting into what should be but rather a sense or feeling that words cannot often convey the meaning of. It goes back to the heavy footsteps down the hall - ghostly presences in a way triggered me to delve past the obvious, the ordinary and the mundane. There is more to life than just "being" isn't there?

Consequently my thirst to learn more, to question what this "reality" is about led me to delve into astrology, numerology and the Tarot. It was really a quest to understand something intangible and obscure.

I started reading cards well over 35 years ago and from time to time I pick them up again and see what happens. I was thinking about transformation and I was instantly given the flash - Horus - the child conceived by Isis from the phallus of her dead husband. I wont go into details - you can read the story here:

These thoughts led me to explain out loud, "how do you change" how does one move from one position to another. How do you transform, move beyond what you think and feel to a new and clearer, more mindful self.

Think I had better find those cards and see what they trigger.....
