Ancient Egyptian Oracles, Zodiacs & Secret Chambers

Many ancient Egyptian temples had secret priest holes, or small chambers behind the inner sanctuaries for a priest of the oracle to wait. The temples were dark inside which apart from being practical also added to thier mystery and secrecy.

Direct and sharp lines of daylight travelled straight onto the statues of Gods to add to the impact of being in their presence.

In the floor at Kom Ombo there was a moveable stone,which when raised gave admittance to an underground passage, beneath the wall between the twin sanctuaries of Sobek (left) and Horus (right), the sanctuaries were clearly separated by a hidden chamber thought to be where the priest acting as the 'Oracle' would be concealed this enabled a priest to speak, without being seen, which would add to the belief in the oracles advice, especially if they were standing in the presence of a statue of a God. (Margaret Murray described this secret chamber in her book 'Egyptian temples'

At Dendera temple there is a chamber dedicated to 'The Seven Hathors' who are present at the birth of a child, when they pronounce its fate. They are also called upon for help in matters of love, as well as protection from evil spirits.

Dendera is Famous for its circular Zodiac ceiling in a small room on the rooftop, and also the first hypostle room as we enter the temple is known as the bout of heaven as it also shows astrological signs of the heavens and gods.

Alexander the Great made a special journey through the western desert to consult the Oracle of Amun, and gain answers to some of his questions. This small temple was renowned all over egypt.at Siwa in the western desert .

We are not so different to the ancient Egyptians as all over the world people consult tarot readers, pyschics and oracle readers to help them with guidence on their future path, or advice about problems and how they can be resolved.

On several travels through Egypt Triade Travel offers a astrological birth chart for each guest, and also Tarot readings.

Dendera Temple the Zodiac and Astrology

On my travels through Egypt with my groups I often visit Dendera Temple in Egypt, the earthly home of the Goddess Hathor, on entering the temple the whole ceiling shows the heavens, and a smaller sculptured circular zodiac is on the ceiling of a small chapel dedicated to Osiris on the rooftop of Dendera,this shows the images of Taurus (the bull) and the Libra (the scales)as we recognize them and it shows the stars and planets in the positions they would have been positioned in 50 B.C. Another small chapel on the roof where the Goddess hathor was taken every year to be renewed again, we can see the goddess nut on the ceiling and in this photo I have taken we can see Bootes(orion) and taurus. Not only does Dendera have these astrological ceilings but it also has a room dedicated to shows the seven hathors, who were an oracle that predicted the future of a child on the day of its birth.

Denderah circular Zodiac also shows the precession of the equinoxes. The axes marked on the zodiac show the movement of solstices and equinoxes through the constellations between the foundation of Egypt and the time of the building of the Denderah Temple. Sirius appears twice - once on the true North-South axis, above the horns of the "cow of Isis", and also on the axis of the temple, as Horus on a papyrus stem. The light of the star would illumine the inner temple on New Year's Day, at the heliacal rising, when the temple was built.
In the Valley of the kings, it is not possible to visit the tomb of seti 1, but the ceiling in this vast tomb shows the Egyptian constellations in the northern sky. Ancient Egyptian priests interpreted the influences of the movements of the celestial bodies,The Star Sirius told them when the river Nile would flood. When Astrology is understood and used properly it can be a powerful and highly effective tool for the initiate.

The position of the planets at the time of birth is important for life.The effects are noticeable. A horoscope is a map where the position of the planets are subscribed. The Exact date, time and place of birth are very important.
