The eye of Horus also called Oudjat or Wedjat, is the left lunar eye
which originates from the struggle btween Horus and Seth. In this
fight, Horus loses his left eye which is taken by Seth, but then
Horus acquires spiritual sight, the eye of light. The eye was later
healed by Thoth and returned to Horus and then called “the Oudjat”
(“the Whole One”). It was a symbol of the power of the God of light,
and therefore a popular amulet for protection and good luck. Some
oudjat eyes had an arm carrying the Ankh or the papyrus staff, symbol
for “to flourish”. The eye of Horus was also used as a protection
against the evil eye. From the late old kingdom, two oudjat eyes
were placed on the door recesses of tombs.
