Difference between revisions of "Akhuy"

[[The Egyptian Star Oracle]] connects this decan with harvesting rewards. The Akhuy card symbolizes getting what you want, but only because of the work you have done to obtain it. These aren't so much divine blessings, pennies from heaven, but receiving due reward for your efforts.

Spell 443 from the Middle Kingdom Period coffin of Mesehti celebrates Akhuy, proclaiming, “I am this unique Akh-spirit. There is nothing I do not know in heaven, on earth, or in the water. There is nothing I do not know about [[Hapi]] and [[Thoth]] because I am the God of the Morning.” This marks the earliest association of Akhuy with the planet [[Venus]], the morning star. Nearly 1,700 years later, the Egyptian astronomer Harkhebi was described as “purifying himself in the days when Akhuy rose heliacally beside Venus.” This same astronomer was a renown observer of the night sky, who claimed to know everything [[Sopdet]] (decan #36) predicted.
