I wear an Eye of Horus about my neck 24 hours a day. It oversees my long hours of travel and at times when i'm away from home.

The only time it leaves me is when i know that i'm at home and theres nothing much to draw me away.

Horus son of Isis & Osiris, father of Harsomtus, avenged his fathers death by killing his uncle Seth. Horus sacrificed an eye to the battle, which he took to the underworld and gave to Osiris.

Horus is represented as the falcon-headed god of Egyptian law and his eye a powerful ward used as protection from evil.

Egyptians pronounced the symbol as "udjat", the symbol represents a human eye with the cheek markings of a falcon.

The phamacutical 'Rx' symbol has its origins in the Eye of Horus design.

The fraction system was based on the Eye of Horus symbol was used to record prescriptions, land and food. The fractions are obtained by representing vales as parts of design and combining sections of the Eye of Horus symbol. The complete Eye of Horus represents 63/64, which is rounded off to 1. The smallest fraction is 1/64 with each of the 6 parts half the size of the prevoius value.
