The Original Sun of God
“Consider our ‘modern’ terms, Horizon and Sun Set. These terms belie their ancient history. Horus-sun (Horizon) was sunrise as Horus was the Egyptian god of light and the day light portion of the 24 hour cycle. Set, was the god of darkness and night. He came on the scene at ‘Sun Set’ and is the Jackal headed god of the Egyptian underworld.

When we say ‘what a beautiful Sun Set,’ we don’t realize we are speaking as one might in ancient Egypt. Darkness was the time of Set, god of darkness. Night time was not a good time in most ancient mythologies. This is why many a priest stood every morning acting as if by incantation and arm waving, he could bring back the Sun/Son from the Underworld of darkness and fear. The sun descending into hell is something it did every Sun-Set. There was relief every morning when the sun/son was reborn.”

This makes the Winter Solstice all the more celebratory. Grab a God, grab a sun(son), and get to merry making.
