The
eye of Horus also called Oudjat or Wedjat, is the left lunar eye which
originates from the struggle between Horus and Seth. In this fight, Horus
loses his left eye which is taken by Seth, but then Horus acquires spiritual
sight, the eye of light. The eye was later healed by Thoth and returned to
Horus and then called “the Oudjat” (“the Whole One”). It was a
symbol of the power of the God of light, and therefore a popular amulet
for protection and good luck.
Some
oudjat eyes had an arm carrying the Ankh or the papyrus staff, symbol for “to
flourish”. The eye of Horus was also used as a protection against the evil
eye. From the late old kingdom, two oudjat eyes were placed on the door
recesses of tombs.
