I very much love this simple image of Set and Osiris by sheeigh.
The repeating pattern of sibling rivalry in human stories always amazes me. Fratricide is such a repeating pattern in humanity stretching back to our earliest recordings and no doubt oral before that.
Set is such a strange entity. I mean, his role is both horrific from one point of view (brother murder/attempted nephew issues) as well as utterly necessary from another (protecting the solar barge from Apep, and hence, protecting Ra).
I would love to go back to ancient Kemet and travel to the different nomes, getting all of the little details and insights into the stories that have been lost over the millenia.
I love the vibe here the Osiris is Set’s shadow.
