“Djed” (pronunciation “The Jed”) is a Afro-Khemetian philosophical concept. It is represented by a pillar/supporting column. It is synonymous with the center pillar of one’s conscious and unconscious being. It is the fulcrum on which we balance and the resting point for proper measure. Constructed by the original nobles, endowed with inherent permanency because it is Truth. Hence we go forth in hot pursuit of inner stability bringing the mind, body and soul back to optimum performance, through the pursuit of physical and mental health, guided by honor, Integrity, balance, and permanency…
Djed Pillar
Definition:
The Djed pillar! A symbol of great power and significance in the ancient world, and one that holds much meaning for us even today.
Imagine, if you will, a sturdy, rectangular pillar, often adorned with horizontal bands. This is the Djed, a symbol of stability, strength, and renewal. It represents the backbone of the world, the axis upon which creation spins.
In ancient Egypt, the Djed was closely associated with the god Osiris, the lord of the underworld and the embodiment of resurrection. It was believed that the Djed represented Osiris’s spine, which was broken during his murder by his brother Seth. However, through the power of magic and the love of Isis, Osiris was resurrected, and the Djed was restored to its rightful place, symbolizing the triumph of life over death.
The Djed was also associated with the fertility of the Nile River, the lifeblood of Egypt. Just as the Djed provided stability and support for the world, the Nile River brought life and sustenance to the land.
The Djed was a powerful symbol of renewal and rebirth. It reminded the Egyptians that even in the face of death and destruction, there was always hope for a new beginning. It was a reminder that life is a cycle, and that even in the darkest of times, the light will always return.
In the modern world, the Djed continues to hold meaning for those who seek connection to the ancient wisdom. It is a reminder of the importance of stability, resilience, and the power of renewal. It is a symbol of hope, a reminder that even in the face of adversity, we can rise again and create a better world.
Liberty is alive and well…So, Raise Your Djed, then BUILD SOMETHING!
