Anubis Indeed, you are 83% erudite, 62% sensual, 62% martial, and 83% saturnine. |
Anubis was the Egyptian God of funerary rituals and the protector of the dead as well as the judge of souls and ruler of the underworld. Since it was his duty to weigh souls (along with the Goddess Maat) as a means of discovering the content of honesty, Anubis was also the God of truth. He is usually seen as a man with the head of a jackal holding the divine sceptre carried by kings and Gods, but he can also be found on the walls of tombs as a black jackal or dog accompanying Isis. By no means an evil God, his domain of graves and tombs was nevertheless a frightening one, but then, one that offered the chance of an afterlife. The God of the dead is probably associated with the jackal due to the habits of jackals to lurk about tombs and graves, which was one of the reasons why the early Egyptians sought to make their tombs more elaborate; to keep the bodies safe from the jackals. It is only natural therefore that a God of mummification would be connected with them. By worshipping Anubis, the Egyptians hoped to invoke him to protect their deceased from jackals, and later, the natural decay that unprotected bodies endure. |
