Unknown, Canopic Jars, Ptolemaic Egypt

The jar has an unusually long and detailed inscription incised in columns on the body, concerned not so much to protect the body part inside, but to assure the deceased that he will have food and drink in the afterlife.

How It is Created: Lapis lazuli is a complex mineral made up of lazurite, pyrite, and calcite. The lazurite gives it its deep blue color (along with the sulfur that’s in its matrix), the pyrite gives it its golden veins, and the calcite gives it its white specks.

History: The name comes from the Latin word lapis, meaning stone, and the word lazuli which means blue. It was first mined in Afghanistan but it has existed even before then. The Egyptians used lapis lazuli in protective amulets and other jewelry. It was used famously by Egyptian nobility, even its powdered form being used as eyeshadow. Lapis lazuli is said to produce power and wisdom and is associated with the Egyptian goddesses, Isis and Nuit. Romans would ingest the powder in food and drinks as an aphrodisiac and it was also used as an antidote for poisons. It is said that the ring the angel gave King Solomon to control his demon legion of workers was made of lapis lazuli.

What It Can Do:

Open the third eye and balance the throat chakra

Stimulates enlightenment and enhances dream work and psychic abilities

Facilitates spiritual journeys and stimulates personal and spiritual power

Protective stone that contacts spirit guardians

Recognizes psychic attacks, blocks them, and return the energy back to the source

How to Get the Best Out Of: With a lot of these visionary stones, I am always going to recommend a bracelet or necklace. Anything that is close to the bloodstream or heart will help the power of the stone connect to you best with these types of stones.

How to Cleanse and Charge: Using incenses or a singing bowl to cleanse lapis lazuli. Lay it on a clear quartz disc or bowl over night under the moon to recharge it. Do not put under the sunlight. It will discolor the stone. (I made this mistake and was heavily scolded by Isis afterwards)

Hello dear friends, may I present a second photo that will be featuring in a new portfolio that I'm currently working on. This is one of the original photographs of my sculpture called Tut .

I took this photo just as I finished up the clay sculpt of the sculpture in my little work shop. Very soon I look forward to showing the next photo of The Lost Boy Of Venice in the making. The sculpture is developing on since the last photo I showed on here.

Hope you're having a great start to the week, keep well and Take care dear friends 🖐️🤗😌

Chemistry behind Garlic

Garlic, originating from Central or Western Asia, traces back to ancient Egypt with records of cultivation dating as far back as 2780 BCE. The pungent flavor of garlic is primarily attributed to 'allicin.' Fresh garlic lacks this spicy aroma until its cells are damaged, leading to the rapid generation of allicin and other volatile sulfur compounds, creating its distinctive spicy scent. Consuming garlic results in unpleasant breath due to the metabolism of sulfur compounds, producing allyl methyl sulfide (AMS) with a distinct sulfur ether odor. AMS is expelled through the lungs and skin, causing bad breath and body odor.
