Kažu da čovjek postane siroče kada ostane bez roditelja. A kako se zove ovo stanje kada ostaneš bez nana i djedova?

Da li iko ikada bude na tvojoj strani kao što su to bili oni?

Puna kuća, duša prazna. Nedostajete 🕊

The djed pillar is used to represent the terms ‘stability’ or ‘enduring.’

This was often placed near the spines of mummified bodies, across their lower torso, or around their necks, so the dead could reuse their spines in the afterlife. When this was worn as an amulet, it would help invoke the regenerative powers of Osiris. It was most commonly depicted as blue or green to symbolize the ability to give the deceased a new life- making them become Osiris-NN. Thd djed representing the spine comes from the Osirian myth.

When Osiris’s body was sent down the Nile in a coffin, after being murdered by his brother, a tree started to grow atop of his coffin quickly, enclosing Osiris’s body within the truck. The pharaoh of the land was perplexed by its unnatural growth and ordered his people to cut down this tree to use as a pillar within his palace.

Isis had found his body at Byblos. She petitioned the pharaoh and his wife for a favor, which they had granted. She asked for the pillar within their palace. When this favor was granted, she extracted the coffin from the pillar, anointing it with myrrh and wrapping it with linen.

The djed has incredibly important connotations for religious purposes in accordance to ceremonial and religious usages, along with festival usage. The djed was associated with Osiris, Ptah, and Sokar.

The djed was also used at the sed festival in a cermony called ‘raising the djed,’ which represented Osiris having victory over his brother Set.

Amulette Égyptienne: Symboles Pieux de la Vie Spirituelle

Objets matériels et cultures

Les objets matériels en disent long sur les personnes qui les ont possédés. Les cultures et les sociétés de toutes les générations sont en partie classées - à tort ou à raison - en fonction des objets ou des symboles qu'elles choisissent et de la manière dont ils sont présentés. En règle générale, l'étude formelle de la société est du ressort des anthropologues et des spécialistes des sciences sociales qui classent les "gens" dans des ensembles culturels extrapolés à partir de "caractéristiques" communes (vêtements, bijoux et musique, par exemple) et de leur comportement interpersonnel (profession, activités politiques, pratiques religieuses) qui les définissent socialement. Ainsi, toute réponse à la "signification des choses" dans la société est, en général, une hypothèse structurée.

Non cercarlo nel libro di scienza naturale: l’albero di Natale è l’albero della magia (Gianni Rodari)

Mi sono sempre chiesta come sia nata la tradizione dell’albero di Natale. Un’esaustiva spiegazione l’ha scritta e condivisa Elena Paredi nel suo profilo di Facebook, dal quale attingo spesso i suoi preziosi articoli che ho riportare anche nel mio blog. L’abete sempreverde è stato tradizionalmente utilizzato per festeggiare le ricorrenze invernali (pagane e cristiane) per migliaia di anni. I…

So me and my brother were talking about this idea that starwars is based off of a rime in eygpt where there were people named the djed and they were basically similar to jedis. There depictions of light Saber looking technology in the hieroglyphics. I said "so who was anakins dad?" And my brother said "no one he was born because there was an imbalance in the force, he is the chosen one" and I said "wait like how Jesus was just randomly born? Crazy imagine if an energetic force could do that, like if the world was so evil the universe will create something out of nothing to keep the energy stable". 🤔 we had a big talk about it being a possibility and that we have no idea what the truth is about humanity. We know a lot of history but we also don't. We still debate who created the pyramids and how we have the technology we do so fast. I think there's a lot we don't know about our capabilities as humans.
