    The Cippus (700 BC to Roman Era)

    The Cippus of Horus is an Egyptian healing charm that is carved on a flat


    tablet of stone.

    It shows a youth named Horus the falcon god holding wild beasts. He is
    unafraid, for his mother Isis has made magic to heal him.

    Egyptian mothers poured water over such charms and then washed their
    children with it, or had them drink it, to heal them from things that poison.

    In this example the fierce funny dwarf


    god Bes, protector of children, is above
    Horus. Underneath his feet is the
    crocodile. He holds snakes and a lion
    and a gazelle.

    Legend of Isis in the Delta

    After Seth the god of the wild desert killed


    her husband Osiris, Isis took her infant son
    Horus to hide in the marshes of the Nile
    river delta.

    needed a magic charm to protect Horus. She

    called upon the funny dwarf god Bes who loves all children. She called on
    Ra the Sun and Thoth the Moon, and the grandmothers Vulture and Cobra.

    In this cippus of Horus we can see the youth holding different animals, and
    guarded by adult gods. To his right stands the vulture grandmother of upper
    Egypt, Nekhebet, and Isis his mother, and Osiris-Ra his father. To his left
    stands ibis-headed Thoth and

    Wadjet the cobra grandmother of lower Egypt. Above him is Bes again, and
    the Eyes of Horus which are the sun and the moon. These eyes have human
    hands held up like Reiki palms to help Bes guard Horus. We can see this
    posture again at the curved top of the charm. The baboons of Thoth and the
    moon god himself raise hands to honor and strengthen the magic. The
    plumes of Amon the hidden Wind god of Thebes stand quietly guard nearby.

    We also notice in the third row down, a chariot and winged horse riding over
    a crocodile. This unknown Egyptian legend may be the precursor of the
    story of Pegasus and Bellepheron who defeated the chimera.

    In the fourth row we see several gods with spears threatening snakes and
    crocodiles. Seth the fierce warrior was set in the prow of the sun god’s barge
    as it moved across the sky to keep monsters away. Seth probably was being
    wisely punished for his murder of Osiris.

    On the back of the cippus shown above is this curious figure of a god
    with the wings of a falcon, the head of Bes, the lightning of the storm and
    snakes around his thighs. It is very possible that this is the early form of
    the gnostic god Abraxas who was shown as a serpent-footed god of magic
    and protection.

    How to heal with this attunement


    Just say aloud (name of system) once and let the energy flow through your hands and
    heal as you usually do.

    How to take down this attunement


    Just say aloud “I am now accepting the attunement to (name of system) from (name of
    teacher) in a way that is good for my health and spirit. So be it.”

    And relax for a few minutes. You may sense energy tingling in your hands or warmth, or
    if you close your eyes and let your mind drift away, you may see unusual pictures. It
    really doesn’t matter. It works even if nothing is sensed at all.

    How to give this attunement

    Just say aloud “I now attune (name of student) to the energies of (name of system) in a
    way that is good for both of us, in health and spirit. So be it.”

    Or you can put the attunement in a “chi ball” of imagined energy and let the student pull
    it down when convenient.

    Best wishes and love and light,


    Stewart
