The Eye of Horus: Why This Ancient Symbol Became an Occult Icon

The wedjat, commonly called the Eye of Horus, survives on coffins, amulets, a mummy’s arm, and a funerary papyrus from ancient Egypt. Its most intimate surviving setting may be the outer coffin of Myt, a child buried at Deir el-Bahri during the Middle Kingdom.

This episode follows the image through documented Egyptian objects: Myt’s coffin, the nested coffins of Hapiankhtifi, excavated amulets from Lisht and Malqata, a wedjat placed on a mummy’s left arm, and the Greenfield Papyrus. It then crosses a much later historical divide to Aleister Crowley’s modern occult writing.

The evidence establishes ancient Egyptian religious uses and a later occult reinterpretation. What it does not establish is an unbroken secret transmission carrying one fixed meaning from pharaonic Egypt to modern esoteric movements.
