More tantalising is the relief of the goddess Hathor on the north wall of the 2nd Hypostyle Hall. Hathor is shown with the ‘water sign’ symbol over her hands. The is one of the commonly used hieroglyphs of Ancient Egypt and symbolises the action of wind over water, which is why it has become known as the water sign. There is a curious parallel here with Feng Shui, which when literally translated means ‘wind and water’. On the surface then it would seem as though Hathor was offering ‘water’ with it’s life giving essence to the king
Kinesiology and the 'Water Sign'
A few years ago Dee Jay Nelson and David Coville carried out a number of kinesiology tests using a copper version of this symbol to see what effect it had on the energy fields of the body. There work was published in Life Force in the Great Pyramids. They discovered that when this sign was held in the hand, as demonstrated by our goddess, the subtle energy fields of the body were considerably strengthened.
This same sign can be also seen in the hands of another goddess in the tomb of Ramses III in the Valley of the Kings. It has been considered that this sign was simply a form of greeting or offering of water (life) to the pharaoh but the inner significance and spiritual message of the hieroglyphs cannot be denied so a deeper explanation is most likely.
The Ancient Egyptians were famed for their magical practices. Perhaps the water sign when held in the hand indicated the transfer of magical or healing energy to the person it was being offered to, which in this case was the king.
We might therefore surmise that this information was known and understood by the Ancient Egyptians and indicated how healing energy can be channelled through the hands to help sustain and balance the subtle energies of another.
