A passage from the Coffin Texts (passage 148) sums up Horus in his own words:

"I am Horus, the great Falcon upon the ramparts of the house of him of the hidden name. My flight has reached the horizon. I have passed by the gods of Nut. I have gone further than the gods of old. Even the most ancient bird could not equal my very first flight. I have removed my place beyond the powers of Set, the foe of my father Osiris. No other god could do what I have done. I have brought the ways of eternity to the twilight of the morning. I am unique in my flight. My wrath will be turned against the enemy of my father Osiris and I will put him beneath my feet in my name of 'Red Cloak'."

This website I dedicate to "He who is Above", the God most commonly known today as Horus - God of the Air and Sky.

Horus has many names and you will notice me interchange them often so you can know them too. Horus is the Greek version of his name. His true Egyptian name is Hrw. 
(pronounced "hair-OO" or "hor-OO")

Some are Hrw, Heru, Hor, Harendotes/Har-nedj-itef (Horus the Avenger), Har-Pa-Neb-Taui (Horus Lord of the Two Lands) Heru-ur or Hrw-Wr (Horus the Elder) Heru-sa-Aset (Horus son of Aset(Isis))

He is the Patron of: the living Pharaoh, rulers, law, war, young men, light, the sun, many others depending on the particular variant.

I would like to thank those people that helped to contribute images (per-set.org for use of the candle graphics,& Weben Banu for her offerings), text, stories and anything helping the creation of this site and I would like to send a special thanks to Banu, without her I don't think this site would be possible. To her I say "Ankh, Udjat, Seneb" (Life, Strength, Health)
