The Eye of Ra/Wadjet 'All Seeing Eye'
This powerful symbol was believed to have healing and protective powers, and it was used as a protective amulet. The right eye represented the sun and the left (EYE OF HORUS) represented the moon. Egyptians also used them to protect buildings and themselves.
Feathers
In the afterlife of ancient Egyptian culture, the feather had a purpose of measuring weight. Once the souls of the newly dead entered the underworld, Ma’at, the Egyptian goddess of justice, would weigh their hearts against the weight of a feather determining the worthiness of the soul.
The feather was also thought to be symbolic of the sky gods and to signify truth, speed, and lightness/airiness.
Bennu
Bennu was the name given to the bird that represented Ra’s soul. This bird was seated at the Tree of Life and was associated with the Sun, creation, and rebirth.
