Morning Prayer to the Winged Solar Disk

Without the Sun, there is no life, there is just nothingness and darkness. The Ancient Egyptians saw the Sun as being key to their collective wellbeing. The Egyptian symbol of the winged sun was a symbol of royal power. It also represents the soul without physical form.The Egyptian myth of the sun concerned the Solar God Ra who brought the Sun into the skies every single day. According to Egyptian myth, the main duty of Ra, the solar deity, was to carry the sun cross the sky on his solar boat to light the day. This boat was known as the boat of a million years. Sunset and twilight represented the time when Ra and his vessel passed beyond the horizon, in the west, to begin the journey through the underworld. There, according to the myth, he would sail on the subterrestrial River Nile and cross through the twelve gates and regions. In the underworld he would meet and defeat the energies of the lower astral worlds to emerge once again victorious at dawn.The God Ra represents the energy of the outgoing age of Patriarchal rule. Therefore, in this morning blessing we call upon the Goddess Isis and her warrior son Horus to bless us with the golden radiance of this day. This daily blessing calls upon the power of the sun to bless the earth and to bless your day with a new vibration of possibility and magic.
