In this image, the spiral tear line extends to the viewer's left (which would be the eye's right) — a detail that has caused considerable confusion in both academic circles and popular culture. Your argument is technically defensible, and I appreciate you raising the issue. However, the left/right identification regarding the Eyes of Horus and Ra is far from settled.
In this case, the intent of the artist — internationally recognized visual artist Ivan Soto Cobos — is clear: the falcon imagery and overall context unequivocally reference Horus. Given the persistent ambiguity found in scholarly sources, honoring the artist’s explicit symbolism and contextual narrative is not only valid but essential to appreciating the work’s meaning.
This link is to an excellent source should anyone wish to research the issue.
Not at all! Your comment precipitated about 90 minutes of useful research to clear my head of cognitive dissonance. When I learned that the Metropolitan Museum of Art describes the image as an Eye of Horus, I decided to stop there. The spiral swirl to the left seems, for whatever reason, far more aesthetically appealing to the eye, an important consideration when you're peddling art or jewelry that has to compete with the Ankh.
Yes, many interesting points and perspectives. I think Set mirrors Shiva in his destructive aspect (aka Rudra). An inflection point has surely passed, the cord holding the kite has snapped, and the upper winds now dictate its future course. If, with Set, are speaking of a cosmic principle, it invokes the question of agency (who is acting upon what). It this an agency or a fundamental self-organizing property of the Universal Field? Is internal cosmic law thereby the justification for Setian-Rudran destruction (i.e. is there an inviolable ethical as opposed to a mechanical cause for re-balancing)? Manly P Hall emphasized how important integrity was to the ancient Egyptian. Aquino's satanic work "The Book of Coming Forth by Night" is the exact opposite of the true title of the Egyptian "Book of the Dead" which is "The Book of Coming Forth of the Day". One could suggest that Plato's proto-Athenians represent virtuous states of consciousness, untarnished stem cells that retreated "underground" to dwell with the great Earth Mother, or what Lao Tzu referred to as "the Valley Spirits". This would align with Celtic and Druidic culture, and the indigenous pan-European pagan world prior to its invasion and conquest by Middle-Eastern salvationist ideology (Judeo-Christian). What seems to have happened is that growing deception (and self-deception) at all levels has led us to capture by the demonic realm. As this "Round-Up" (echoes of glyphosate) is occurring under the aegis of Crown delegates (NWO organizations), the rise of Sorath and Fenrir is establishing itself as the megalomaniac blood lust of the post-human world. 666 is a number I have had close personal encounters with as previously articulated. The legend of the proto-Athenians and their retreat into Anatolia is very beautiful. I have visited the caves in Cappadocia and they are quite haunting. It seems clear that any future resolution must occur by 1) an expansion of consciousness that mirrors the structure of the Omniverse (Bruno) 2) a restoration of the sanctity of Earth's spiritual consciousness, as practiced by all ancient pagan people's and the sine qua non of "enlightenment".
Splendid -- hear, hear! You're spot on: I should have addressed Setian agency in this essay. But as Joseph II purportedly remarked to Mozart, "Your opera is beautiful, but it has too many notes." Alas, this essay already has too many notes -- too many words. I plan to address Setian agency in Monday's article.
Briefly, in this context, the concept of agency is best embodied by Prometheus -- the ultimate archetype or Überarchet of the trickster figure. However, I do not mean to imply that a single trickster, as I believe is imagined in Prometheism, is solely responsible for shaping events. The dynamics at play are more complex than that, though I hope this complexity makes for a more coherent explanation.
I imagine there is an ethical imperative for rebalancing, one that requires mechanical agency to implement. This task must be accomplished by a trickster. For example, while multipolarity may appear to be a self-serving ruse orchestrated by a Globalist Cabal, perhaps the ruse is itself a ruse: with cunning tricksters, nothing is as it seems.
The fact you've visited the caves in Cappadocia inspires me. I take it as confirmation of the proto-Athenian legend and Celtic population diffusion I mentioned.
As always, thank you for your thoughtful comment, engagement, and kind words.
Satanist’s for 9/11 Truth - Michael Aquino on 9/11
A Psyop Tinfoil Possession
An American political scientist, military officer and Satanist. He was the founder and high priest of the Temple of Set. Aquino was also a specialist in psychological warfare for military intelligence and an officer in the U.S. Army.
"According to whistleblower John Kiriakou in a recent interview with Tucker Carlson, up until that time the CIA functioned primarily as an intelligence-gathering agency. After 9/11, the agency morphed into a paramilitary organization. "
I really enjoyed this article, mainly because it follows along on so many of my own personal obsessions. Atlantis, Greeks, Egyptians, etc. You are brave for bringing up Michael Aquino, the Temple of Set, ritual child abuse, Nazis and saying it’s not all bad. Or rather, the bad has a higher purpose.
A well put together and timely article. A joy to read even if the contents are foreboding. The grimdark reality we exist within once viewed, cannot be unseen. I appreciate articles like this for their service to mankind and the preservation of the impotus to continue forward regardless of the present situation.
I've always admired both Churchill and the personal maxim he coined to emphasize the need always to push forward, regardless of setbacks or obstacles -- "Keep buggering on!"
Rather than "goodbye," Sir Winston used it in the context of perseverance and resilience to end all his phone calls.
He also used to say "Bugger off!" a good deal, as we all did. That was a catch phrase commonly spoken in pre-cell phone England, as you know! WC also said, "Bugger the lot of them!", a use of the verb in question particularly appropriate for our present dilemmas and all those contributing to them. WC would have been apoplectically deranged by our accelerated entropy of grammar and elementary locution, replaced by monosyllabic cliches, social media sound bytes and emoji. My father worked under him during WW2 and he told me about WC's intolerance for poor grammar. He once sent out a memo giving an example of unacceptable report writing: "This is grammar up with which I will not put!"
When I was a kid, they taught Latin in secondary school. I took advanced mathematics in high school. These days they teach remedial English in college.
Thank you for your comment, Big Mike, and for your observation about the paradox of chaos serving higher purpose. Nietzschean philosophy states that suffering and destruction are necessarily creative forces for generating new values and promoting evolution to higher forms of life/consciousness. His concept of amor fati (love of fate), which the essay touched upon, suggests embracing even terrible aspects of existence as necessary for this creative process.
You've got a lot of the pieces on the board here, Brooks. A hell of a lot. You're mapping the metaphysical rot, the psycho-spiritual decay, the whole goddamn Setian carnival of institutional failure. You see the exponential curve heading for the cliff. You're not wrong.
But you're looking at the shadow on the cave wall and calling it the beast.
This isn't just some crisis of the soul or a breakdown of coherence, like you say. That's a symptom. The whole festering rot is a symptom. The prime mover is physical. Brutally physical. It's the 12,000-year cycle. The Geomagnetic Catastrophe. The sun is getting ready to pull the trigger and our planet's magnetic shield is shot to hell. The earthquakes, the volcanoes, the psychotic weather... that's not some abstract philosophical entropy. That's the physical engine of the whole goddamn thing.
This thing you call Set, this cosmic principle of chaos... it's the sun. And this civilizational breakdown you're tracking is just what happens when the planetary foundation starts to liquefy beneath our feet.
The human depravity, the Epstein filth, the Aquinos of the world... they're the rats that swarm out of the bilge when the ship is taking on water. They don't sink the ship, they're just a sign that it's already going down.
You've laid out the human response to the crisis with savage clarity. Now look at the cause. The data is there. It's not hidden in Egyptian myth, it's in the magnetometers.
Sir Count, You raise an intriguing point about the relationship between physical and metaphysical causation. Perhaps the shadows on the cave wall do indeed evince a reality --not as mere illusion, but as expressions of deeper forces. As with many philosophical arguments, the answer may not be 'either/or' but rather 'both/and.'
Perhaps Set -- as cosmic principle -- operates through precisely these physical mechanisms. The magnetosphere, solar dynamics, and geological instability may be the very instruments through which cosmic chaos expresses itself, making the metaphysical and physical not opposing explanations, but different aspects of a unified process.
I appreciate both the intellectual honesty and passion you express and thank you sincerely for your engagement. You are definitely onto something. I've long held the opinion that should the "Wrath of Gaia" become necessary to expunge the rot, the Sun will be her tool of destruction.
You need to see the work of the men who are tracking the raw feed, the stuff the establishment swine are actively suppressing.
The first is Ben Davidson at SpaceWeatherNews. He's putting out a daily dispatch on the raw solar and geophysical data, watching the sun and the Earth's failing magnetic shield in real time. He's tracking the instrument of destruction, minute by minute.
The second is a man who calls himself Ethical Skeptic. He's the one who's reverse-engineered the goddamn timetable itself, the deep, cyclical pattern of the catastrophe going back millennia. He calls it ECDO. It's the closest thing we have to a blueprint of the whole ugly business.
Apep, also known as Apophis, is a significant figure in ancient Egyptian mythology. He embodies chaos, darkness, and disorder, often depicted as a giant serpent or snake. Apep is the main antagonist of Ra, the sun god, and is believed to attempt to devour Ra each night as he travels through the underworld. Apep's name is often incorrectly translated as "he who was spat out
Interesting exchange! Thanks to everyone for the engagement. A note -- since the late New Kingdom and especially after 1,000 BC, Set and Apep became increasingly conflated. Unlike Apep, who always embodied pure chaos and evil, Set was not always viewed as malevolent; he was sometimes revered as a necessary force who helped maintain cosmic balance by combating greater threats like Apep.
After this conflation, Set’s image was demonized.
In our post, we positioned Set as a Cosmic Principle -- an embodiment of chaos and transformation. At his beck and call, and acting as his primary agent, is Prometheus, who marshals archetypal forces such as Apep (primordial chaos), Sekhmet (destructive fury), and Sobek (untamed natural forces).
These agents, commanded by Prometheus, execute Set’s dual mandate -- destabilizing rigid systems to enable renewal, while defending cosmic order against existential threats.
I would highly value your assessments and input regarding our Setian/Promethean cosmology, which I will also feature in Monday’s article. Thanks again!
Here is a link to a previous post on Sekhmet from about a year ago:
Uhh, OP I must point out your confusion between left and right.
The eye you've called Horus is the eye of Ra.
Horus is the other left.
Thanks for your comment!

I prefer Ragnarok .The old world dies for the world to be born
Set is a solitary god. He does not share his power with others easy.
Chaos is typified by Apep.-the implicate order in nature
The Egyptian are pictorial forces of the power of nature. Nothing more,nothing less.
It is Set who spears Apep the crocodile of devouring chaos. The force of chaos against itself? Hardly. Perhaps, one who wields even chaos for gain.
Apep, also known as Apophis, is a significant figure in ancient Egyptian mythology. He embodies chaos, darkness, and disorder, often depicted as a giant serpent or snake. Apep is the main antagonist of Ra, the sun god, and is believed to attempt to devour Ra each night as he travels through the underworld.
