Description
So I found out last nite that a good internet friend of mine Ive had for years recently died. She had Kidney disease and after years of problems, it finally took her out. I was overwhelmed with shock... I still am... and just floored at the news. She truly was a wonderful person and much too young to die. But I guess like they say, only the good die young (good thing Im evil heh) Soooo this picture was made in tribute to her (and what could pay better homage to a dear friend than giant mutated scorpions and half naked chicks? lol) May she rest in peace. Un nefer ba khepera tepemkau

Actually it was Nephthys, daughter of Geb and Nut, and wife to her brother Set, although it's said that Anubis was the son of Nephthys and Osiris, also their brother. So sorry about your friend...so sad to lose one so young...this is by far my favorite image! Thank you for sharing!

Sorry about the loss of your friend. Your image is a wonderful tribute. As for your question, the main reason Seth was villified was because he murdered his brother Osiris and attempting to murder his other brother, Horus, for which he was exiled to the desert.

Part one, I expect that the wingless Eye of Horus symbol is essentially a winged udjat eye symbol from which the wings of the coronal SunBird have been deliberately removed in order to emphasize the religious attribute of this sky god's divine omniscience that is allegorized by the striking similarity in appearance of the totally eclipsed sun to an "Eye of God". Part two: It is featured on the pyramid on the dollar bills back. Sorry for the loss of your friend...and a wonderful tribute.
