The Eye of Horus and the Eye of Ra
A hybrid of a human eye and a falcon’s eye, the Eye of Horus looks very much like the Eye of Ra. But the Eye of Horus is the left, lunar eye, while the Eye of Ra is the right, solar eye. Ra’s vision is said to be all-seeing and limitless; Horus’s, more intimate, is turned towards protection.
Is the Eye of Ra evil? It is rather a fearsome force, capable of violence to subdue the sun god’s enemies. Less protective than the Eye of Horus, it should be invoked with respect.

The Eye of Horus in modern culture
Jewelry, tattoos, works of art: the Eye of Horus has become a universal symbol. It is worn as an amulet against negative energy, tattooed for intuition and awakening, and seen in films and video games as an image of mystery and ancient wisdom.
Did you know that Horus is also one of the signs of Egyptian astrology? And among the most powerful spiritual symbols, he stands alongside the ankh, his Egyptian neighbor.
Key takeaways 📌
- The Eye of Horus, or udjat, is the lunar eye injured by Set and made whole by Thoth.
- Its six parts stood for fractions and senses.
- It protects as an amulet, at home, in the car and in meditation.
