Ancient Deities; Anubis
One of the most ancient of Egyptian deities, Anubis was guardian and protector of the dead, god of embalming, funerals, and death. Anubis ushered souls to the underworld and attended the weighing of the heart. He was known as “Imy-ut” (“He Who is In the Place of Embalming”), “nub-tA-djser” (“lord of the scared land”)




Out of chaos came the light. Out of the will came life.
-The Egyptian Book of the Dead. A more correct translation of the title would be the Book of Coming into the Light.
