Sometimes the eye of horus and the eye of Ra are confused. Both symbolize protection, the difference is that the eye of Ra represents the right eye and that of Horus the left, Ra is the feminine divinity and Horus the masculine divinity, they represent the union of feminine energy and masculine energy. They had to be careful because the Ra symbol could become a bit aggressive if misused.
Ra eye & Horus eye.

On occasion, the goddess Ra can be seen depicted with drawings of a lioness or cobra representing authority and protection. The Egyptians believed that her queen was the physical personification of the goddesses who were connected to the Eye of Ra. Most of the time, the queens wore a headdress very similar to that worn by the goddesses in their images.
This symbol can be seen often represented in Egyptian culture as a tribute to the Goddesses, especially in cults. Her power to give life was celebrated by doing rituals in temples, These cults that were carried out in the temples were made to invoke a protection towards the temple itself, the Pharaoh and the inhabitants of the community.
In current times we can honor these goddesses, and ourselves in a more updated way and in line with our reality, simply give them self-care spaces, value ourselves, wearing those jewelry or clothes that make us feel beautiful. from MUSA we believe it is important to create these sacred spaces for oneself, and we want to offer them in the form of unique jewels.
