Eye of thoth vs eye of horus

The Eye of Horus

Start out right by understanding Eye of Horus as an emblem representing protection, health and healing. This emblem often depicts as an eye with teardrop at its base – it symbolises Horus himself with one eye left open as per legend from Osiris and Isis‘ son Horus being his left eye due to conflict between Set and him over who would become King, while Thoth intercedes and restores Horus’ left eye which then became his signature emblem representing protection, health, healing as an amulet that bestows wealth and well-being upon all who wear one – something no other amulet does so easily or instantly!

But the Eye of Horus stands for more than simply protection and healing; it also symbolizes life’s cycle between birth and death as well as its transformative power of resurrection. According to Egyptian mythology, Horus had his Eye split into six pieces during a fight between Set and himself which signified fragmentation of reality – hence this symbolizing fragmentation as part of creation’s cycle; though Thoth, as god of wisdom and understanding could restore his Eye by providing regeneration within nature itself.

The Eye of Thoth

Now let us examine The Eye of Thoth as it symbolizes wisdom, knowledge, and intuition. Often depicted as a moon disk encased by serpents (representing deity Thoth who associated himself with both moon and wisdom), its origin story is equally complex; according to tradition it helped restore Horus’ eye through wisdom and knowledge which ultimately lead to regeneration of universe – making The Eye of Thoth its emblem representing wisdom, knowledge, intuition as well as aiding individuals on their quest for spiritual and intellectual enlightenment.

The Eye of Thoth symbolizes both the mystery of our universe and any hidden knowledge hidden therein.

Eye of Thoth vs eye of Ra

Tradition holds that according to later accounts, the right eye represents the sun and therefore was known as “Eye of Ra“. Meanwhile, left eyes represented moon, hence their association with Horus or Thoth (in some instances it can even be unclear which). Although oftentimes one eye or another was referenced.

Later customs claimed that the left eye, which was also identified with Thoth, represented the moon and was named the “eye of Horus,” while the right eye, which symbolized the sun, was dubbed the “Eye of Ra.” That being said, it is frequently unclear which eye is being discussed—the left or the right. According to some tales, Horus’ right eye was severed, and the story alludes to a solar eclipse—a brief period of time when the sun is obscured from the sky.
