by Djedetmiwesir © 2001- 2005

As a king, once of the living and eventually of the dead, Symbols of Kingship apply to Wesir; Such as The Crook, (Heq) and the Flail (Nekhakha) already mentioned, as well as throne, Ureaus, and the Shen. It is not however limited to kingship; One of Wesir's most Scared symbols is the Djed pillar. sometimes called "The Back bone of Osiris." As with many other Ancient Egyptian Deities, Wesir is entitled to the universal Symbology of such items as The was, and The Ankh.1
