“It was awe of the unfathomable wonder of the divine birth as portrayed in the twelfth nocturnal hour that must have caused this hesitation to depict it. Where the sacred is so intensely present, it is best to keep silent and not to depict or name it. The same is true of numinous power in its darkest form-thus the reluctance of the Egyptian artists in the face of the unfathomable in the case of Apopis. Only with great caution did they bear witness to this archenemy of creation or even depict the monster unfettered.”

“That the individual must strive for knowledge about the things of the afterlife is a central idea of Egyptian thought, and it was this knowledge that inspired their magnificent images of the hereafter. The same striving for consciousness though in our case on a psychological level has motivated us to study and understand the images anew.”
