I'm saving that image for my wall.
The M officially means "Matthew". I'm going to become the Incarnation of Horus some day when I grow up. That's what I pray for at any rate
I live in Ramsey county. Ramses in Egyptian Meaning:
begotten by Ra, the sun god.
I did get handed a book about Egyptology by some random black guy in my security hallway who didn't even give me his name. Shortly after, I had a visitor who called himself Ra. Around that time I found 17 Egyptian Obelisks and two pyramids on Capitol Hill. I've shared that story before at RF, but it's worth saying again I suppose.
It's because I'll be some Pharaoh some day.
Pharaoh's are basically what a Shinto "Emperor" is. A Pharaoh is the chief mediator between the Spirit world and the material world, and God Incarnate.
The Egyptians believed their pharaoh to be the mediator between the gods and the world of men. After death the pharaoh became divine, identified with Osiris, the father of Horus and god of the dead, and passed on his sacred powers and position to the new pharaoh, his son. The pharaoh’s divine status was portrayed in allegorical terms: his uraeus (the snake on his crown) spat flames at his enemies; he was able to trample thousands of the enemy on the battlefield; and he was all-powerful, knowing everything and controlling nature and fertility.
