Wands of Horus?

[Sylvan]

(I think this belongs in here...)

Have you heard of them? Would you buy them if you could? Do you own a pair? How do you like them?

I have the opportunity to buy a new pair from a woman who gets them direct, but they are still $150. I have seen them elsewhere on the net for $200, $350+.

But I've only heard two testimonials about them, and one from a person who believes they personally were abducted by aliens. :rolleyes:

Anybody have any input? Bueller?

So saith the site:

"Their roots go back into the depths of time. For the priests and pharaohs of Ancient Egypt the Wands of Horus — metal cylinders filled with various special materials — were a tool for “attainment”, allowing them to achieve a step by step evolution of their psychic, energy and, consequently, physical capacities, the development of which was a decisive factor in preparing to enter into “intercourse with the gods” through the pyramids."

Geraldine Pinch is renowned for her book Magic In Ancient Egypt, and she goes into descriptions of the kinds of wands used in Kemet. They were made out of hippo tusks, not metal, and they didn't hold anything. There is no mention of any other kind of wand being used in Kemet, and since she's an expert in the field, I'm going follow her lead on this one.

And the Remetj didn't care about the concept of "attainment", either. They were concerned with living the best they could in this life and enjoying life to the fullest in this life, with the hope that the party would continue in Duat (The Underworld) or Aalu/Yaaru/Iaru (aka Paradise) after they died and were judged.

And on another page it says: "This panel shows a table with what Egyptologists tell us are sacrificial loaves on it. We have here a priest of Horus. [....]This priest (who was also an architect) was the number one person in the Ancient Egyptian civilisation, so important that information about him was not distributed anywhere. He was a man of mystery. Hesi-Ra means 'Marked Out by the Sun.'"

**laughs** They're making it up as they go along, sounds like. The Numero Uno Priest in Kemet was...... The Nisu (Pharaoh). And woe betide the person who makes the mistake of insulting the Ruler/Head Priest like that. It would probably guarantee a very swift and painful demise.

As to the part about this person being so important that no one would find any info on him... riiiiiiiight. In a culture where one had to leave at least ONE mention of onerself written on something, no matter how poor they were, in order to ensure their spirit's continued existence after they died, do these website people honestly think that someone of supreme importance (and *wealth*) to the Kemetic people would have kept himself virtually a secret? Incredibly unlikely.

[Sylvan]

Okay. So ignore all the made up pseudo-Kemetic nonsense. Imagine that they are the Wands of Bob instead. Would they be useful? Worth it? Nobody here has a pair?

[Ahautenites]

No, I don't think it's worth it, personally, but to each his own. Why would you want to buy something from someone who is deliberately *trying* to pull the wool over people's eyes?

[Sylvan]

I'm just thinking that if they are a good tool to have, that it doesn't necessarily matter where they come from. Like if you see a really pretty knife in an antique store and the owner tries to tell you that it was used at the dining table of King Arthur and whatnot, and you just want it because it's pretty.. Sure, the owner is a shyster, but if you want it, and if it'd a be a good investment down the road (and if you can get it for cheaper than the antique store across the road who is selling a similar "King Arthur's table knife")...

[Ahautenites]

**grins** Then, if that's the case, get it. I have nothing against the wand itself. I just have issues with false advertisers because it makes me wonder how honest they are in the rest of their business practices.

[Sylvan]

Actually, I'm just about decided not to get them anyways. More and more reasons keep popping up for me to not trust the woman I'd be getting them from, and it's really not worth $150 to me.

The big draw was that they are supposed to be powerful enough for someone who has very little energy sensitivity to be able to feel. I have very little energy sensitivity myself, and so thought these might help with that. Add to that that one testimonial was from a person who grew up in a similar family situation to what I had, and says that they have worked wonders for her, and I thought they'd be an end-all cure-all. :D

Silly rabbit. :D

Hi folks:

I actually have several of the wands of horus, purchase from russia direct. I also corresponded for a year of so with the makers

In a nutshell, they are the real thing, and very powerful.

If anyone wants more info, let me know.
Blessings,
