Order of Hapy ~ May Your Grace Offer Deliverance




Hapy
He was a baboon headed deity, who was shown as having a body wrapped up like a mummy. Hapy (Hapi) was believed to be the protector of the lungs, along with the goddess Nephthys. The lungs were placed in the canopic jar, near the sarcophagus, on the north cardinal point. His name probably means "Runner", and may be related to boating as the 3rd letter in his name is used in words such as 'oar'.
The original name probably meant "The Two Geese", which would suggest that there may have been two gods. Hans Bonnett believes that there was originally a male and a female deity, the female goddess disappeared, and left the male Hapy as the son of Horus. Again, others believe that the evidence for this is weak. Hapy was also a God Of The Nile.



SPEECH OF HAPY

I am Hapy, thy son, O Osiris Ani, whose word is truth. I come to protect thee.
I bind together thy head and the members of thy body.
I smite down for thee thine enemies under thee.
I give unto thee thy head for ever and for ever, O Osiris Ani,
whose word is truth, whose word is truth in peace.

The bit about binding together thy head and the members of thy body is like a nice analogy with the forum being Osiris, the Egyptian god of the underworld and also worshipped as a fertility, resurrection, and vegetation god.

I like the idea of Protector Of The Lungs though and am seriously contemplating establishing this as a religion if only to preserve the right to vape.

Brother Alan.




The heiroglyph translates as Rastafari! :-)

Gaia is
the primal Greek goddess personifying the Earth.
Gaia is a primordial and chthonic deity in the Ancient Greek pantheon and considered a Mother Goddess or Great Goddess.
Her equivalent in the Roman pantheon was Terra.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaia_(mythology)

I have to mention that I've found out that the Black Madonna I mentioned in my first post doesn't seem to be the VooDoo deity I thought she was, rather a European representation of the mother goddess.

How about Pythagoras.
He believed that breathing was related to the soul and that air was the ether by which all creatures were bound together. Because of this, his followers couldn't eat beans because if fouled the air.
He also did alot of math and seemed to be obsessed with triangles.
But, I nominate him because of the air thing.
