Anubis godform

Godforms are they only egregore of ancient or true archetypal symbols of causal reality? Nothing exists outside existence.
I would like to dedicate this text to Anubis, god of Ancient Egypt, whos worship rises again through revival of religion and ceremonies of ancient Egypt . To utilize influence and power of godforms we have to approach them trough religion-organized system of belief, or system composed of interconnected symbols arranged in specific order of representation.
Anubis is also known as Anpu/Yinepu/Ienpu - Royal Child , Am Ut - Dweller in the chamber of embalmment, Khent Amenti - Foremost of Westerners, there couple more names which describe his function and attributes. Here you see his names in Egyptian, use of foreign languages in magickal working will be elaborated in other article. Anubis is cynocephalus, jackal headed god. Sometimes he is completely theriomorph, then his animal form is jackal. One of his main attributes is psychopomp, then he is guardian of sacred places, finder of lost, protector of abandoned, we can draw out basic idea from this. In Anpu we see both guardian of known world and guide through unknown.
He usually calls his children himself, trough dreams or vision. At first his appearance might be terrifying, maybe not only at first. He is presence is truly great. He radiates peace and cold of depths. When you talk to him, you must overcome your fears, show respect without crawling. Maybe you already communicated with him, maybe its yet to happen. I must not forget to mention, ways to attract this influence into your own sphere. He is connected to West, place of afterlife, color white as it is color of West in Egyptian tradition, in worship black is also assigned to him and North for he is Opener of Roads of North (think about Sirius, sign of Cancer, summer solstice), other color connected to him is black, times of day: dawn, sunset and midnight, those are hours of transition, metal silver, stone onix. If you have statue of Anubis it should be placed to face West. Prayer is one of most common methods to invoke/evoke divine presence, pray facing West visualizing Anpu mask on your face, if you have one even better! I find that keeping bowl of fresh water with silver and onix inside it is really appropriate and functional.
