_{anubis; the egyptian god of mummification and the afterlife. depicted as a jackal-headed protector of graves and an embalmer, he also had a role as lord of the underworld until he was replaced by osiris during the middle kingdom. despite being one of the most frequently mentioned gods, he played almost no role in egyptian myths, but is most known for attending the scales during ‘the weighing of the heart’ in which he weighed a person’s heart against ma’at, or truth (who was often represented by a feather). hearts heavier than this feather were devoured, and souls whose hearts were lighter could continue on into the next world.}

_{the word ‘anubis’ itself is actually a greek rendering of the god’s egyptian name. his name in hieroglyphs was composed of the sound ‘inpw’, which was vocalized as ‘anapa’.}

“I, Isis, am all that hath been that is or shall be,

I, who made light from my feathers, The wind

from my wings, No mortal man ever hath me

unveiled! - Until now.”

Who strides like a lion in the darkness.”

Osiris & Isis
I found you my love,
in wooden box, in Byblos did I find you,
drowned in life-waters.

I took you my love,
I buried you in golden sands,
but from the deserts, the one of Chaos,
dazzling all with strength of jealousy.

I found you my love,
in pieces rendered. [x]
