The Enchanted Statue The “Dajd-Hoor” statue in the Egyptian Museum:
The statue of the priest "Dijd-Hoor" made of black basalt is one of the most famous pieces of art in the Egyptian Museum.
This statue gained its fame from rumors that spread around it, which says that it is an "enchanted" statue.
What is the story of the enchanted statue and why there are some people afraid to get near it ?
The statue of the priest "Dijd-Hor" dates back to the late period (about 323-317 BC). It bears the artistic characteristics of what is known as the "Child Horus Tablets" and is considered one of its variants.
The "Child Horus Tablets" appeared in the late period and were used for therapeutic purposes, especially treatment of snakebites, scorpions and poisonous reptiles.
The symbols engraved on these tablets are symbols intended to address another world, which is the astral world (Duat). The astral world, according to the ancient Egyptians, was a world intertwined with our world and not separate from it, and it is the world to which souls go after death, and it is also the source from which all things come and in which also lie the causes of all diseases. The priests in ancient Egypt treated the sick by contacting this world (Duat).
The British writer (Jeremy Naydler) says in his book (Temple of the Cosmos) that the waving of Horus of the Child is part of the magic rituals in ancient Egypt and its symbols address the astral world (Duat), which is the world in which the causes of diseases lie.
And if you contemplate the statue of "Dajd - Hor", you will find that it bears all the symbols found on the tablets of the Child Horus. The priest "Dajd-Hoor" sits and puts a plate in front of him in which we see the child Horus stepping on two crocodiles with his feet facing each other.
And crocodiles in the astral world are a symbol of the latent danger that man does not see. The crocodile lies under the surface of the water and lurks in its victim, even if the victim imagined that the water was safe, the crocodile pounced on it from under the water suddenly and without introduction.
Not seeing the crocodile hiding under the surface of the water does not mean that it does not exist. Yes, it is in fact present, but it hides itself, and herein lies its danger.
The crocodile Horus sets foot as a symbol of overcoming the seriousness of the underlying causes of diseases, no matter how hidden.
Horus holds in one hand a lion and in the other hand a deer, a symbol of ferocity and meekness, and both are aspects of the human soul. There is no soul that does not have these two characteristics, but to varying degrees.
We note that the child's Horus stands perfectly balanced, although he stands above two crocodiles and carries in one hand a deer and the other a lion, but he stands in the utmost "equilibrium". This balance is the secret that lies in the healing.
The disease is basically an imbalance in the human being. What the symbols on the child's Horus tablet do is that they address the astral world in its language (the language of the symbol) and restore balance again to the patient's energy system. This balance is what helps him to heal.
Above Horus we see the head of "Bes", the divine being who protects children, and he is here to protect the child, Horus, while performing his mission.
The statue of the priest "Dijd-Hoor" is completely covered with symbols addressing the astral world, and among the most widespread symbols in every place in the statue are the symbols of serpents and scorpions.
Above the statue's back is a picture of "Heka", the symbol of eternal/cosmic magic, which is the magical energy with which the universe was created, and it is the basic energy or infrastructure that forms the basis on which the energy system in the universe was built. The good of humanity because it is the energy that can deal with the causes and roots of everything that exists in our material world.
Dealing with the energy of the statue and the symbols it carried was done using water, where the priests poured water over the statue and let it flow and gather in what looks like a small basin located under the feet of the child Horus.
The water is left to interact with the symbols on the statue, where the water is charged with the energy of these strong symbols, and then the water is given to the patient to drink or wash with it, as the energy in the water creates balance within the patient's body and helps him to recover.
The statue has a very strong presence and energy that cannot be ignored.

Nor can we ignore that calm smile on the face of "Dajd-Hoor", a smile full of reassurance and serenity, which are positive feelings that the statue conveys strongly to the patient to help him recover.
