Sawy Seret

Divination meaning

The Egyptian Star Oracle connects this decan with healing.

Characteristics

Spell 246 from the Pyramid Texts proclaims that the deceased is a child of the sheep with the power of the Sheep decans: “You stand among the gods, with two horns on your head like two wild bulls, for you are indeed the black ram, son of a black sheep, born of a bright sheep, suckled by four sheep-mothers.” For healing rituals calling upon Amenhotep, this card should be used together with Pehuy Djat (#5), which has actual tomb art depicting the deified pharaoh.

The Dendera D zodiac ceiling depicts this decan as a seated lion-headed god. The same ceiling gives its minerals as carnelian and gold.
