Who is god danunah. The great god "Danunakh", the mantra "Forget it" or why adult serious people do nonsense

According to some researchers, there were five thousand gods in ancient Egypt. Such a huge number of them is due to the fact that each of the many local cities had their own gods. Therefore, one should not be surprised at the similarity of the functions of many of them. In our list, as far as possible, we tried not only to give a description of one or another celestial, but also to indicate the center in which he was most revered. In addition to the gods, some monsters, spirits, and magical creatures are listed. Our table gives the characters in alphabetical order. The names of some gods are designed as hyperlinks leading to detailed articles about them.

Our table of Egyptian gods can be used in school to prepare 5th grade students. See also: Gods of Ancient Greece - list, Gods of Ancient Rome - list, Gods of Ancient Scandinavia, Gods of Ancient India - list, Gods of ancient Slavs - list.

Top 10 Gods of Ancient Egypt

Amat- a terrible monster with the body and front legs of a lioness, the hind legs of a hippopotamus and the head of a crocodile. It lived in the fiery lake of the underground kingdom of the dead (Duat) and devoured the souls of the dead, who were recognized as unrighteous at the court of Osiris.

Apis- a black bull with special marks on the skin and forehead, which was worshiped in Memphis and throughout Egypt as a living embodiment of the gods Ptah or Osiris. The living Apis was kept in a special room - Apeion, and the deceased was solemnly buried in the necropolis of the Serapeum.

Apop (Apophis)- a huge serpent, the personification of chaos, darkness and evil. He lives in the underworld, where every day after sunset the sun god Ra descends. Apep rushes to Ra's barge to swallow it. The sun and its defenders fight nightly with Apophis. The ancient Egyptians also explained solar eclipses by the serpent's attempt to devour Ra.

Aten- the god of the solar disk (or rather, sunlight), mentioned as early as the era of the Middle Kingdom and proclaimed the main god of Egypt during the religious reform of Pharaoh Akhenaten. Unlike most other representatives of the local pantheon, he was depicted not in a "beast-human" form, but in the form of a solar circle or a ball, from which arms with palms stretch to the earth and people. The meaning of Akhenaten's reform, apparently, consisted in the transition from a concrete-figurative religion to a philosophical-abstract one. It was accompanied by severe persecution of adherents of former beliefs and was canceled shortly after the death of its initiator.

Atum- the solar god revered in Heliopolis, who created himself from the original chaotic Ocean of Nun. In the midst of this Ocean, the primordial hill of the earth also rose, from which all the dry land originated. Having resorted to masturbation, spitting out his own seed, Atum created the first divine couple - the god Shu and the goddess Tefnut, from whom the rest of the Ennead descended (see below). In archaic antiquity, Atum was the main solar god of Heliopolis, but later he was pushed into the background by Ra. Atum began to be revered only as a symbol setting sun.

Bastet- the cat goddess from the city of Bubastis. It personified love, female beauty, fertility, fun. It is very close in religious meaning to the goddess Hathor, with whom she often united.

Bes- (Demons) dwarf demons favorable to a person with an ugly face and crooked legs. Peculiar kind brownies. In ancient Egypt, figurines of Demons were widespread.

Maat- the goddess of universal truth and justice, the patroness of moral principles and firm legality. Depicted as a woman with an ostrich feather on her head. During the trial in the kingdom of the dead, the soul of the deceased was placed on one scale, and the “feather of Maat” on the other. The soul, which turned out to be heavier than a feather, was recognized as unworthy of eternal life with Osiris. She was devoured by the terrible monster Amat (see above).

Mafdet- (lit. "fast running") the goddess of harsh justice, the protector of sacred places. It was depicted with the head of a cheetah or in the form of a genet - an animal from the viverrid family.

Mertseger (Meritseger)- the goddess of the dead in Thebes. Depicted as a snake or a woman with a snake head.

Meskhenet- the goddess of childbirth, who enjoyed special honor in the city of Abydos.

Min- a god revered as the giver of life and fertility in the city of Koptos. Depicted in itiphallic form (with pronounced male sexual characteristics). The worship of Ming was widespread in the early period of Egyptian history, but then he receded into the background before his own local Theban variety - Amun.

Mnevis- a black bull who was worshiped as a god in Heliopolis. Reminds me of the Memphis Apis.

Renenutet- a goddess revered in the Faiyum as the patroness of crops. Depicted in the form of a cobra. Nepri, the god of grain, was considered her son.

Sebek- the crocodile god of the Faiyum oasis, where there was a large lake. Its functions included managing the water kingdom and ensuring earthly fertility. Sometimes he was revered as a kind, benevolent god, to whom they prayed for help in illnesses and life's difficulties; sometimes - like a formidable demon, hostile to Ra and Osiris.

Serket (Selket)- the goddess of the dead in the western part of the Nile Delta. A woman with a scorpion on her head.

Sekhmet- (lit. - "mighty"), a goddess with the head of a lioness and a solar disk on it, personifying the heat and scorching heat of the Sun. The wife of the god Ptah. Terrible avenger, exterminating creatures hostile to the gods. The heroine of the myth about the extermination of people, which the god Ra entrusted to her because of the moral corruption of mankind. Sekhmet killed people with such fury that even Ra, who decided to abandon his intention, could not stop her. Then the gods poured red beer all over the earth, which Sekhmet began to lick, mistaking it for human blood. From intoxication, she involuntarily had to stop her slaughter.

Seshat- the goddess of writing and counting, the patroness of scribes. Sister or daughter of the god Thoth. During the accession of the pharaoh, she wrote down the coming years of his reign on the leaves of the tree. Depicted as a woman with a seven-pointed star on her head. The sacred animal of Seshat was the panther, so it was represented in a leopard skin.

Sopdu- "falcon" god, revered in the eastern part of the Nile Delta. Close to Horus, identified with him.

Tatenen- a chthonic god revered in Memphis along with Ptah and sometimes identified with him. His name literally means "rising (i.e. emerging) earth."

Hathor- the goddess of love, beauty, joy and dance, the patroness of childbirth and nurses, the "Heavenly cow". It personified the wild, elemental force of passion, which could take cruel forms. In such an unbridled image, she was often identified with the lioness goddess Sekhmet. Depicted with the horns of a cow, inside of which is the sun.

Hekat- Goddess of moisture and rain. Depicted in the form of a frog.

Khepri- one of the three (often recognized as three attributes of the same being) solar gods of Heliopolis. personified the sun during sunrise. Two of his "colleagues" - Atum (the sun On the Sunset) and Ra (the sun at all other hours of the day). Depicted with the head of a scarab beetle.

(I do not recommend reading for those who are prone to very deep religious feelings)

The article is a joke. The effect when applied is real.

I'll tell you the background of the question.

Very often, adults are very upset because of all sorts of trifles.

Someone said something, said it in the wrong tone, yelled, was rude, or even sent it at all.

If someone lives in a world where this never happens, respect to you gentlemen and sincere genuine RESPECT.

Unfortunately, we are all people and periodically stand in traffic jams, visit airports, train stations, bazaars, Housing Offices, Federal Migration Service… continue the list of fun organizations of your choice.

And the most interesting thing is that you were not personally beaten there, your property was not taken away in most of the situation ... But it happens in your heart that you were actually beaten and everything was taken away.

Does it happen?

I know what happens unfortunately.

It is for such cases that we came up with the god "Danunakh" and the mantra "Forget it."

One evening, while in the woods in the suburbs, my colleagues and I were sitting by the fire, drinking tea, and, like ordinary people, chatting about everything in the world. Thank God, there was no Wi-Fi in this place, it was impossible to work on info-business projects, and the creative energy accumulated after dinner had to be put somewhere.

I talked about yoga, about the universal mantra OM and that a mantra called “ VLOMMMM»

I heard it from a man with the surname Lebedev. (Sasha, if you read it, hello to you)

What is Vlomm, how to take it and why is it needed?

Mantra VLOMM is the most honest mantra in my opinion.

VLOMM is when you honestly tell yourself - I'm too lazy to do this.

So you want more money, for example, or to meet a man, or to pump up the press or get prettier, and so, plus or minus, you know what to do and Google is at hand, if you have something to ask, but the days go by, but you don’t do it ... because that vlommm. And then what results, in fact, we are waiting for????

Not karma is not like that, not an unsuitable country, not an ordinary appearance, not relatives interfere, not because the men are goats, there are seven children, the cows are not milked, the pigs are not smoked, ....

And honestly and in all honesty - I "Vlommm"

And if it's broken, then you don't really want to.

And if you don’t really want it, then maybe you don’t want it at all?

Just figured out the mantra "Vlommm", Yuri Bostan took the floor. Information entrepreneur, already a multiple millionaire. In general, a person who really works hard and efficiently.

And Yura said that in addition to the mantra " VLOMM"There is a mantra in his life" DO NOT MIND IT»

The mantra “Forget it” - is used when you have done everything you could, and the situation is going as it goes.

For example, I prepared everything, calculated it, gave it my all, and at that moment one of the servers went down. It happens. And novice information entrepreneurs spend a lot of nerves on such moments. Then, of course, you get used to it. I know for myself.

“Forget it” is not when you do nothing completely, sit, smoke bamboo, and princes, diamonds, money projects, dollars in bundles at once, golden toilet bowls, trips to Cannes and Nica fall on you like manna from heaven.

Forget it - this is when you did everything you could ... and you have every right to relax.

After that, the mantra "Forget it" was tested on many projects. She really works.

You know, it's like in Christianity and other religions there is a concept - to let go of the situation.

I have one friend whose husband - well, loves to yell very much. What can you do? Big business, big money, big nerves, and he is a very good person, he cares about his family, takes care of children, but it is impossible to keep emotions in a fist all the time. Have you heard that all diseases are caused by nerves?

Yes, and my friend, to be honest, is still a kind Fairy (she just likes to hooligan, and not what Anton thought when he read the article). Sometimes this can be done away with, Mom, don't worry. Moreover, as a person she is wonderful, she takes care of the children, she sincerely loves her husband. But the Fae (hooligan) nature in her is simply indestructible.

As a result of another Fae ritual (drawing with paints on expensive double-glazed windows), a ritual on the part of a friend, there was a debriefing on the part of her husband. The Mexican series is resting with all the directors, writers and equipment. I will say briefly - the guys were cooler.

After some time, discussing this situation, a friend said that he is very good and kind, he just breaks down. Yes, she is a fairy. Well, nah .. in general.

This is how the great god "Danunakh" showed in our life

This is when you try, do it, but still it goes the way it goes. And the person does not change. And apples grow on an apple tree, not pears, although you personally really want pears. You continue to do what you have planned next, only very calmly, without internal emotional anguish ... Or you give up everything for nothing and start building everything anew. And on that and on another choice you have a provo.

Well, after this whole story, a phrase appeared that helped to overcome more than one server crash, sorting out relationships with partners, and in general it helps a lot.

Here is the phrase:

“My friends, may the great power of the god “Danunakh” be with you and make your path easier with the mantras “Vlomm” and “Forget it”

This joke phrase means very simple and actually deep things.

Do everything you can for yourself and your loved ones. If you tried, but something didn’t work out for you, you need to put up with it, catch your breath and move on. People very often react not with their heads, but with their emotions, and this does not mean that they are bad, evil and want nasty things for you. They and you are just PEOPLE. With your problems, cockroaches, emotions, sores, resentment, fatigue, nerves (continue the list ...)

For all ancient people, the world was filled with mystery. Much of what surrounded them was perceived as unknown and frightening. The ancient Egyptian deities represented for people natural and helping to understand the structure of the universe.

Pantheon of Ancient Egyptian Gods

Beliefs in the gods were laid down in the ancient Egyptian civilization from the moment of its inception, and the rights of the pharaohs were based on their divine origin. The Egyptian pantheon was inhabited by deities with supernatural abilities, with the help of which they helped the believers and protected them. However, the gods were not always benevolent, therefore, in order to earn their favor, not only prayer was required, but also various offerings.

Historians know more than two thousand deities of the ancient Egyptian pantheon. The main gods and goddesses of ancient Egypt, who were worshiped throughout the kingdom, have less than a hundred names. Many others were worshiped only in certain tribes and regions. With the development of ancient Egyptian civilization and culture, a national religion was created, which became the subject of many changes. The gods and goddesses of Egypt often changed their status and place in the hierarchical ladder, depending on the dominant political force.

Afterlife beliefs

The Egyptians believed that every human being is made up of physical and spiritual parts. In addition to sah (body), man had the essence of shu (shadow, or the dark side of the soul), ba (soul), ka (life force). After death, the spiritual part was released from the body and continued to exist, but for this it needed physical remains or a substitute (for example, a statue) - as a permanent home.

The ultimate goal of the deceased was to unite his ka and ba to become one of the "blissful dead" living as ah (spiritual form). In order for this to happen, the deceased had to be judged worthy in a court where his heart was weighed against the "feather of truth." If the gods considered the deceased worthy, he could continue his existence on earth in a spiritual form. Moreover, it was initially believed that only the gods, as well as the goddesses of Egypt, possessed the essence of the ba. For example, the supreme Ra had as many as seven ba, but later the priests determined that every person has this essence, thereby proving their closeness to the gods.

It is no less interesting that the heart, and not the brain, was considered the seat of thoughts and emotions, so at the trial it could testify for or against the deceased.

The Process of Worship

The gods were worshiped in temples run by priests acting on behalf of the pharaoh. In the center of the temple was a statue of the god or goddess of Egypt, to whom the cult was dedicated. Temples were not places of public worship or gatherings. Usually, access to the personification of the deity and the ritual of worship was isolated from the outside world and was available only to clergymen. Only during some holidays and celebrations, the statue of God was taken out for general worship.

Ordinary citizens could worship deities, having their own statues and amulets at home, they provided protection from the forces of chaos. Since after the New Kingdom the role of the pharaoh as the main spiritual intermediary was abolished, religious customs were reoriented to the direct. As a result, the priests developed a system of oracles to communicate the will of the gods directly to believers.

Appearance

Most in physical form tended to be a combination of human and animal, many associated with one or more animal species.

It was believed that the mood in which the gods or goddesses of Egypt lived depended directly on the image of the animal accompanying their appearance. An angry deity was depicted as a ferocious lioness; in a good mood, a celestial could look like an affectionate cat.

To emphasize the character and power of the gods, it was also customary to depict them with a human body and an animal head, or vice versa. Sometimes this approach was used to visually show the power of the pharaoh, he could be depicted with a human head and the body of a lion, as in the case of the Sphinx.

Many deities were represented only in human form. Among them were such figures as very ancient cosmogonic gods, as well as the goddesses of Egypt: air - Shu, earth - Geb, sky - Nut, fertility - Min, and the craftsman Ptah.

There are a number of minor gods who took on grotesque forms, including the devouring goddess Amat. Her image consists of a part of a crocodile, a lioness and a hippopotamus.

Gods of the Ennead

In ancient Egyptian mythology, there are nine major sun gods, collectively known as the Ennead. The birthplace of the great divine nine was the city of the sun Heliopolis, where there was a center of worship for the supreme god Atum (Amun, Amon, Ra, Pta) and other major deities associated with him. So, the main gods and goddesses of Egypt had names: Amun, Geb, Nut, Isis, Osiris, Shu, Tefnut, Nephthys, Seth.

Supreme god of ancient Egypt

Atum - the god of the first creation, who created himself from the primary chaos Nun somehow has family ties with all the major gods of Ancient Egypt. In Thebes, Amun, or Amon-Ra, was considered the creator god, who, like Zeus in Greek mythology, was the supreme god, the king of all gods and goddesses. He was also considered the father of the pharaohs.

The female form of Amun is Amaunet. The "Theban Triad" - Amon and Mut, along with their offspring Khonsu (Moon God) - were worshiped in Ancient Egypt and beyond. Amun was the chief deity of Thebes, whose power grew as the city of Thebes grew from an insignificant village in the Old Kingdom to a powerful metropolis of the Middle and New Kingdoms. He rose up to become the patron of the Theban pharaohs, and eventually came to act as Ra, the dominant deity of the ancient kingdom.

Amon means "hidden, mysterious form." He most often appeared as a man in clothes and a crown with double feathers, but sometimes the supreme god was depicted as a ram or goose. The implication was that the true nature of this god could not be revealed. The cult of Amon spread far beyond the borders of Egypt, he was worshiped in Ethiopia, Nubia, Libya and parts of Palestine. The Greeks believed that the Egyptian Amun is a manifestation of the god Zeus. Even Alexander the Great saw fit to turn to the oracle of Amon.

Functions and names of the main gods of Ancient Egypt

• Shu is the husband of Tefnut, the father of Nut and Geb. He and his wife were the first gods created by Atum. Shu was the god of air and sunlight. Usually depicted as a man wearing a headdress in the form of a train. Shu's function was to hold the body of the goddess Nut and separate heaven from earth. Shu was not a solar deity, but his role in providing sunlight linked him to the god Ra.
• Geb is the father of Osiris, Isis, Set and Nephthys. He was in eternal union with the goddess Nut until Shu separated them. As the god of the earth, he was associated with fertility, it was believed that earthquakes are the laughter of Geb.
• Osiris is the son of Geb and Nut. revered as a god afterlife. Having green skin - a symbol of renewal and growth - Osiris was also the god of vegetation and the patron of the fertile banks of the Nile. Despite the fact that Osiris was killed by his own brother Set, he was brought back to life (for the conception of the son of Horus) by his wife Isis.
• Set - the god of the desert and thunderstorms, later became associated with chaos and darkness. He was depicted as a man with the head of a dog with a long muzzle, but sometimes there are images of him in the form of a pig, crocodile, scorpion or hippopotamus. Set is one of the leading characters in the legend of Isis and Osiris. As a result of the growing popularity of the cult of Osiris, Set began to be demonized and his images were removed from the temples. Despite this, in some parts of ancient Egypt he was still worshiped as one of the main deities.

mother goddess

The pantheon is headed by the mother goddess, the patroness of moisture and heat, Tefnut. The wife of Shu and the first goddess created by Atum, is mentioned in myths as the daughter and eye of Ra. Later she became identified with Mut, the wife of Amon and the mother of Khonsu, she was one of the main Theban goddesses. Revered as a great Divine mother. Mut is usually depicted as a woman wearing a white and red crown. Sometimes she is depicted with the head or body of a vulture, and also as a cow, because in a later period she merged with Hathor, another great Divine mother, who was usually depicted as a woman with cow horns.

• Isis is the goddess of motherhood and fertility, patroness of children and the oppressed, mother of the god Horus, wife and sister of Osiris. When her beloved husband was killed by her brother Seth, she collected the dismembered parts of his body and connected them with bandages, reviving Osiris and thus laying the foundation for the ancient Egyptian practice of mummifying their dead. By bringing Osiris back to life, Isis also introduced the concept of resurrection, which had a profound effect on other religions, including Christianity. Isis is depicted as a woman holding an ankh (key of life) in her hand, sometimes with a female body and a cow's head or with a crown in the form of cow horns.

• Nephthys, or the lady of the underground abode, is the second sister of Osiris, youngest child of the divine family of Hebe and Nut, often referred to as the goddess of death or the keeper of the scrolls.

Twilight was considered the time of this goddess, the Egyptians believed that Nephthys was floating in the sky at night, and Isis was in a day boat.
