Day 9 of my Egypt adventure, a time to connect with Osiris, Hathor and the incredible Pleiadean energies …
It was another early start and a 4 hour drive, as I travelled from Luxor to Abydos with my fellow Priestesses. The sacred city of Abydos is the site of many ancient temples and was the burial place for the first kings of a unified Egypt.
We were there to visit the Temple of Seti I, constructed by Seti and his son Rameses II in honour of the God Osiris, God of the Underworld. There was no doubt about the intense energy here. And amongst the incredible hieroglyphs we saw are those of what look like a spaceship and a helicopter!
There are several chapels within this temple, dedicated to various deities including Seti I, Osiris, Isis, Ptah, Amun, and Horus, and each chapel is decorated for the specific deity.
I felt the energy most intensely in the chapel of Osiris and was especially drawn to the golden-arched false doorway there. False doorways are often found within temples and tombs because the ancient Egyptians believed that the soul of the deceased could pass freely through them. When I closed my eyes as I stood beside this false doorway, I felt as though the whole chamber was spinning!
I separated from my fellow Priestesses as I explored the temple more. There was an eeriness about it, a tranquil silence, contradicted only by the periodic loud chirping of its feathered inhabitants!
I made my way to a hallway in the temple where we’d been recommended to check out an inscription on the wall, known as the Abydos Kings List. And it is pretty impressive. The list includes the names of 76 pharaohs, those of greatest importance according to Seti, although it’s not exactly politically correct. It omits the names of many earlier pharaohs, including the all mighty Queen Hatshepsut and Tutankhamun!
We had no service work to do at the temple of Seti I, but were there to connect with and embody the Emerald Ray, and receive more ancient codes. Another powerful and humbling experience. Although I was abruptly brought back to reality when I realised it was time to leave and panicked momentarily that I was lost inside the temple building! Not that I have much sense of direction at the best of times…
Fortunately I found my Priestess companions and together we walked away from the temple, past a structure at its rear called the Osirion, that is equally mysterious. Constructed of enormous red granite blocks it’s actually believed to pre-date the temple itself by at least a thousand years, its simple megalithic design drawing parallels with similar Old Kingdom structures like the Sphinx Temple at Giza. And inscribed on some of these blocks, visible to us as we peered down onto the structure beneath us, are a number of Flower of Life patterns, believed to be the oldest known examples of this sacred geometry formation.
We didn’t stop long to ponder over the Osirion – it was becoming unbearably hot again! Instead we made our way towards the village where we’d been invited for lunch. We were taken inside one of the houses, a simple, traditional house, but one in which we were made to feel extremely welcome and were served the freshest, tastiest lunch of tomato and aubergine ratatouille, rice, bread, okra and tahini. A veritable feast!
And then we were off on the road again, another 2 hour drive ahead of us, as we made our way to Dendera Temple about 60 km north of Luxor. Dedicated to the Goddess Hathor, the goddess of love, fertility and music, we were especially looking forward to our visit here and knew to expect a heart surrendering …
As you approach the entrance to this great temple only the front is visible, and it stands silhouetted against the brilliant blue sky. I felt completely in awe of its magnificence as soon as I arrived, despite only seeing that front facade.
Whilst it’s not obvious from there, the Dendera Temple complex actually covers an area of 40,000 square meters and encompasses various other structures, including a temple dedicated to Isis (the mother in law of Hathor), and a sanatorium which was used for healing the sick. There is also a sacred lake on the site.
Dendera temple is breathtakingly beautiful. Even in spite of the obvious damage and vandalism at the hands of the early Christians who had hidden there for a while. Sadly, on all of the vast pillars inside, the faces of Hathor had been chiselled off, and there was also smoke damage from fires they’d lit inside. Regardless, it is incredible, as is the energy there, and its impeccable acoustics that resonate with its divine purpose.
Within this vast temple there is a whole depiction of the Zodiac, an ancient Egyptian astronomical chart that dates back to the 2nd century BC. It is among the most famous and well-known examples of ancient Egyptian astronomical knowledge. The temple is also known for its detailed depictions of ancient gods, and mystifying hieroglyphs. There are just so many incredibly detailed images on the walls, the ceilings and in fact, every where you look. All with a story to tell, or wisdom to share.
There are twelve underground crypts at Dendera, but public access is limited to only one. We were given the opportunity to climb down into this underground chamber, where we were told they tested a type of electricity. And it really did feel electric down there, forgive the pun! There are famous ‘light bulb’ hieroglyphs carved onto the walls, suggesting that the ancient Egyptians may well have possessed knowledge of electricity.
There was certainly no need to touch the walls of the chamber to connect with the energy either. I held my hands over a couple of areas where there were images of Hathor’s face and felt an undeniably strong connection and frequency.
Dendera Temple holds a lot of Pleiadean energy, soft and feminine, but also super powerful. And we each received Pleiadean Stargate codes and energies here, as well as initiations into our 3rd eye.
Dendera Temple may not be as well known as some of the other ancient Egyptian tourist hot spots, but it was definitely well worth the visit. And if you want to connect with the beautiful energies of the goddess Hathor, then it’s a must!
Our incredible, full-on day had come to an end. And within a minibus full of very tired Priestesses, the long journey home allowed for lots of quiet reflection time …
