The Birth of Horus
Thoth the Ibis headed moon God who knew much of time, was begginning to worry about Isis who was traped by Set. So He Sent forth his sisters Ma'at and Seshet disquised as weavers to free Isis. Ma'at and Seshet told Isis that she must leave this very night for Set has evil intentions for the child. They told Isis that her child would soar to the highest heights and avenge his father. They also told her to name the child Horus.
That very night 7 stars fell from the sky and took the form of scorpions. They used their pinchers to free Isis and kill Set's guards. Then Isis went forth to freedom. It was still night when the belly of Isis stired and the waters of Life flowed out. Nephthys felling this in her own stomic rushed to her sister. So too where there other Gods and Goddesses present, Khnum the Ram God came forth, Selket the Scorpion Goddess arose, Heket the frog Goddess, Wedjit and Renenutet came forth as Cobra Goddesses. Isis criied out as the child came forth.
"My Son!" Isis
chanted to the morning. as dawn broke and the son rose Horus opened
his eyes of blue. "child of dawn!" criied Wedjit.
Then his eyes flashed
red. "Child of the two horizens!" criied Selket
Then his eyes turned
black and gold "Dispeller of Darkness!" criied Renenutet.
Isis bathed him
and wraped him in her dress. "Horus the twice born, he makes the
answers for his father. Horus my child, my brother." Said Isis.
On this day Set knew what had occurred and became enraged. "Kill the Child!!" he commanded and sent forth his assassins to hunt the child down. they where disquised as snakes and scorpions and crocadiles and chaos.
But Isis kept watch, as the child grew.
