Left Eye of Horus Earrings
The Eye of Horus—also named "The Whole One" or "The All Seeing Eye" was a powerful symbol for ancient Egyptians. It has been used for thousands of years as a protective amulet, and is believed to have great healing powers.
Horus was a sky god whose eyes were said to be the sun and the moon. In one myth Horus made a gift of his moon eye to Osiris to help him rule the underworld. Osiris ate the eye and was restored to life! As a result, the Eye of Horus became a symbol of life and resurrection.
According to later traditions, the right eye represented the sun and so is called the "Eye of Ra" while the left represented the moon and was known as the "Eye of Horus".
In the Tulku representations of these sacred amulets, the Left Eye of Horus has a lapis stone— representing the lunar and feminine energies, and the Right eye has coral— representing the solar and masculine energies.
