Difference between revisions of "Pehuy Djat"

The mineral of this decan is galena, a silver-colored, metallic crystalized form of lead. In ancient Egypt, it was used to create the ubiquitous Egyptian-style eye makeup. Far from being merely cosmetic, galena makeup was used by both men and women from all walks of life to protect their eyes from the harsh glare of the sun, similar to the black eye strips worn by professional athletes. Pehuy Djat not only offers protection, but also reminds us that the shining light of our accomplishments must be tempered by hard reality.
