Abstract

The concepts of celestial medicine in Ancient Egypt are explored with special emphasis on the ritualistic relationship between the signatures of body constitution, ailments and remedies and planetary agreement (law of similars). Medical alchemy, celestial anatomy, planetary constitution of Egyptian medicine, the medical papyri, pathology, diseases and disorders and herbal and other remedies are discussed. Notes on medical practice, specialties and training of physicians are also included. The relationship between medicine and allied disciplines of Life as experienced in the Mystical School of Life (House of Life) (per ankh) is also explored.

Introduction

Ancient Egyptian medicine, like other aspects of Ancient Egyptian civilization, was a product of the intimate relationship between the heavens and earth. The Biogeometry of Life in its various manifestation was only a reflection of the heavens as observed astronomically. Medicine, like architecture, engineering, religion, calendars and agriculture, etc. was a system reflecting patterns and cycles of higher order in our solar system, and beyond.

For instance the Nile was only a reflection of the heavenly river, the Milky Way. The rituals of religion were centered in the concept of the holy triad which appeared in Ancient Egyptian history on three separate occasions millenniums before Christianity appeared. The idea of the virgin birth, crucifixion and resurrection was first documented over 5500 years ago with the most famous triad of Osiris, Isis and Horus. It is estimated that the evolution of the concept took about an equal amount of time before the first written documentation became known. After having been assassinated and dismembered by his satanic brother Seth then resurrected, Osiris became the concept of rebirth. The Orion constellation was his heavenly counterpart as it also dipped below the horizon then reborn again with the beginning of each new day. Orion then represented the most cardinal of all religious rituals of immortality as manifest in the perpetual birth and rebirth cycles. The relative size, distance and angle between the three great pyramids of Giza are identical to the scale of the three major stars of the Orion constellation; a mirror image in heavens.

In the complete article I will explore how the elements of Ancient Egyptian medicine were derived from the geometry of the heavens.
