370 Horus ENT_EGY_HORUS patron_of Sovereignty ENT_SOVEREIGNTY high Horus is central to Egyptian kingship theology. Richard H. Wilkinson, The Complete Gods and Goddesses of Ancient Egypt SRC_WILKINSON_EGYPTIAN_GODS reviewed  
1357 Horus ENT_EGY_HORUS received_as Ra-Hoor-Khuit ENT_THL_RA_HOOR_KHUIT medium Egyptian Horus received as the Thelemic Ra-Hoor-Khuit: the solar falcon god of kingship and cosmic order becomes the "crowned and conquering child" and Lord of the Aeon of Horus in Crowley's system. Aleister Crowley, Liber AL vel Legis (The Book of the Law) (Cairo, 1904; The Equinox Vol. I No. 1, London: Crowley, 1909) SRC_CROWLEY_BOOK_OF_LAW reviewed 20th Century Occultism PER_20C_OCCULT
1458 Horus ENT_EGY_HORUS received_as Harpocrates ENT_SYN_HARPOCRATES high Harpocrates (Greek Harpokrates, "Horus the Child") is the direct Hellenistic reception of the child Horus (Hor-pa-khered), depicted in Egyptian art as an infant with finger to lips — a conventional Egyptian gesture indicating childhood. Greek visitors reinterpreted this as a gesture of silence, making Harpocrates the Greco-Egyptian god of silence and keeper of divine secrets. The figure appears extensively in Ptolemaic and Roman-period material culture; Plutarch (De Is. ch. 19) discusses him. The Horus-child-on-Isis's-lap iconography became the direct visual model for later representations of the Christ-child with the Virgin.
