Set: Also known as Seth, Seti. The ancient egyptian god of darkness and evil. Known for murdering his brother, but was also revered as a protector of Egypt. Set was one of the earliest Egyptian deities, a god of the night often identified with the northern stars. He was variously hailed as a source of strength, and a protector, especially from the serpent Apep. Within Egyptian theology, there are conflicting opinions regarding Set's strength and warlike resolution. At first, pictures of a god with two heads- that of Set, as the god of darkness, and that of his brother Horus, god of light, appeared. At first this was a symbol of harmony, the union of polarities. However, later, it was regarded as a symbol of the conflict between dark and light. Set is depicted as being untamed and wild looking with white skin and fiery red hair. |

Synchronicity: Meaningful coincidences, 'designed' to alert one's attention and/or suggest a course of action. Psychologist and spiritualist Carl Jung first coined the term after experiencing a peculiar event. Jung and a friend were in England having a discussion about spiritual symbols in ancient Egypt when out of nowhere, a scarab beetle walked across the table. Synchronicity flies in the face of probablitity and forms strong evidence of the interconnectedness of existance and divine intelligence |
