Has anyone here used the four sons of Horus (Egyptian funerary deities) in ritual to represent the cardinal points? I am a bit amazed as to how many different correspondences to directions or elements can determined.

In the classical Egyptian we have the following:

Ahephi = North

Ameshet = South

Tmoumathph = East

Kabehsnuf = West

Not counting the golden dawn attributions (which seem to me inaccurate due to incorrect assignment of organs) , I have come across several other methods during my research.

I find the most success when using the historical system in my practice. I am curious as to the experiences of others using these deities. If you use another system of correspondences what was the basis of your choice to do so?

Gretings Hlidreamer,

Actually the correspondences I learned as a Neophyte for the Four Sons of Horus are as follows:

Amset (Man-headed) Air - stationed in the Northeast.
Toouamaautef (Jackel-headed) - Fire - Stationed in the Southeast
Kabehsonef (Hawk-headed) - Water - Sationed in Southwest
Ahaphi (Ape-headed) - Earth - stationed in Northwest

I must admit to my ignorance of the main teaching concerning the Sons of Horus, I learned these particular correspondences to Initiate into Neophyte from Probationer, over a year ago.

I would be interested to learn where in the "Egyptian Book of The Dead" it states the directions and correspondent characteristics concerning the Sons of Horus.

Thank You,
Repsectfully,
Helel (Joseph)
