THE URAEUS CROWN



u•rae•us (yoo re'as) n. a representation of the sacred asp upon the headdress of rulers of Ancient Egypt, symbolizing supreme power

Uraeus is a Greek word to describe a fiery cobra rearing up. In ancient Egypt, this serpent figure was attached to the front of a headdress/crown as an ornament, protruding from the forehead, above the brow, and worn by divinities and sovereigns. It was an emblem of "supreme power," reserved for divine royalty and diety. History books tell us it was believed to be a protective symbol that protected the king from all evil by spitting fire upon his enemies. They also tell us it is associated with the goddess Wadjet and Isis and bla, bla, bla...

I'm not going to spend a lot of words repeating what you can read in high school history books. Over the course of time, several interpretations and meanings of the uraeus crown have evolved. What I want to do here is reveal an interpretation of this sacred symbol that the history books do NOT discuss. Why? Because what mainstream historians cannot understand, they avoid. Why? Maybe they are too old to learn something new. Or maybe they don't have the intellectual capacity (to learn) something that is beyond anything they have ever thought or studied. Or maybe they are just too lazy to do the research, content to repeat what earlier historians have already concluded. Or maybe they just don't want to think outside the box of their job security.





In any case, thoroughout history, the snake/serpent/cobra symbolized:



• transformation and evolution

• the unconscious

• rejuvination and healing

• rebirth

• psychic energy

• rain

• fertility

• temptation

• satan

• sex

• phallus

• sin (Christianity)
