Museum named after Pushkin);
11) an ancient Egyptian sacred scepter "was" in the form of a staff with a curved tip and
a forked bottom (a head and hooves of an animal); an attribute of the ancient Egyptian
gods meaning control (power) over the Animal nature;
12) a symbolic image of a dragon-like serpent with feathers in the mythology of the
Northern American Indians; myths mention that it symbolized storms; this dragon could
only be defeated by the Great Hero who had moral purity and a superior spiritual
strength;
13) the supreme deity of water and earth, a demiurge in the Inca religion - Viracocha
(he holds two serpents in his hand - one with seven "divisions" of the body indicating
seven dimensions, and the other one with three "divisions" of the body and cloven
hooves indicating a three-dimensional world and the Animal nature); (the 11th-14th
centuries CE, South America);
14) the stele “Horus on the crocodiles” (the 3rd century BCE; Ancient Egypt); Horus is
depicted naked as a symbol of purity and not being burdened by the material desires in
his walk through this world (the importance of control of one's Aspects is indicated here
as well as the domination of the non-material values in the human life).
Rigden: Yes, who could have imagined back then the scale that this "transformation"
from the human mind would take... The symbol that once personified the spiritual
control of the human being over his lateral Aspects (and consequently, the possibility of
the spiritual development and liberation from the material world), came to be used as a
symbol of power over people after the loss of the spiritual component because of a
foolish human imitation. Priests of different religions, magicians, monarchs, kings, tsars
and emperors made a material symbol of their all-embracing power and rule over
nations out of the staff and the scepter. By the way, the Greek word scepter (“sceptron”)
and the Latin “sceptrum” mean "a staff, prop".
No one remembers anymore why, in fact, was this ordinary stick, for which people
would sometimes kill each other to possess it while climbing to power, endowed with
such symbolism as the attribute of "gods of Heaven", a mediator between God and men
(kings and their servants) and the guarantor of peace and justice? Why was it considered
to be a symbol of additional possibilities for its bearer and of the highest power in the
meaning "as you wish"? Why did it serve for different peoples as an attribute of death
