Some key takeaways are that Anubis was the god of embalming and the afterlife in ancient Egyptian mythology. He played an important role in guiding souls and weighing hearts in the underworld.

Anubis was originally the god of the dead and embalming. He was depicted as a jackal-headed man and was responsible for guiding souls to the afterlife and weighing their hearts against a feather to determine if they could enter the kingdom of the dead.

Over time, as Osiris became a more prominent god of the underworld, Anubis' role changed to more of a guardian and protector of souls. He became associated more with dying and funeral rites rather than directly being the god of death.

Channelling & manual by

- The Jikiden Channeling Workshop
Back in 1995 I learned healing with Archangels and Ascended
Masters from Ole Gabrielsen, the year after I was made a teacher
and some years later I learned to channel by him. I used the
channelling a bit round year 2000 where I was in Japan with
Charmaine, but after that we did not use it much. Last year my
Kembo Nasake students asked me to make a workshop for
Healing with Archangels and Ascended Masters and I decided
to combine that with a one day class for Reiki teachers in
channelling. I worked a lot and both things and ended up with a
one day workshop in Kaji Master-healing and a one day
workshop in Jikiden Channeling. There were many students
the first day, but the second day 26
th
Of March 2006 - only 5
students, my shihan-kaku Charmaine and me a total of seven.

The last assignment of the day was for each of the students and the teachers too - to channel 3
energies and each of them to pass it on to the other 6. In that way we channelled 21 attunements
that afternoon. The 21 attunements were, alphabetically:

Anubis Transition Initiation
Anubis Transition Initiation (Jens Seborg)
Originally, in the Ogdoad system, he was god of the underworld, and his
name is frequently thought to have reflected this, meaning something like
putrefaction. He was said to have a wife, Anpu (who was really just his
female aspect, her name being his with an additional feminine suffix: the t),
who was depicted exactly the same, though feminine. His father was
originally said to be Ra, as he was the creator god, and thus his mother was
said to be Hesat, Ra's wife, who later was identified as Hathor (to whom her
identity was remarkably similar). As lord of the underworld, Anubis was
identified as the father of Kebechet, the goddess of the purification of bodily
organs due to be placed in canopic jars during mummification.

Dogs and jackals often loitered at the edges of the desert, especially near the cemeteries where
the dead were buried; in fact, it is thought that the Egyptians began the practice of making
elaborate graves and tombs in order to protect the dead from desecration by jackals. In
consequence, Anubis was usually thought of as a jackal, an association reinforced by certain
variations of his hieroglyph, which can be translated as young dog. Thus, ancient Egyptian texts
say that Anubis, like a jackal, silently walked through the shadows of life and death and lurked
in dark places, watchful by day as well as by night.

In art, he was usually depicted as a man with the head of a jackal
and alert ears, often wearing a ribbon, and wielding a whip. On
very rare occasions, Anubis was shown fully human, or slightly
more frequently as fully jackal. However, Anubis was also
depicted as black, rather than brown, the colour of jackals, since
black was the colour that the body turned as a result of
mummification.

As ruler over the dead, he was given titles such as He who is set
upon his mountain, in reference to his sitting atop desert cliffs to
guard multiple necropolis, and Chontamenti (also spelt
Khentimentiu, and Khentamenti), meaning Lord of the
Westerners, in reference to Egyptian belief that the entrance to
the underworld was towards the west, since that was the
direction in which the sun set. As ruler, he was also said to have
been victorious over the dark forces (described as nine bows),
which also, naturally, lurk in the underworld, gaining him the
title Jackal ruler of the bows.

As king of the underworld, he was also considered to be the one who weighed the heart of the
dead against the feather of Mat (the concept of truth), gaining him the title He who counts the
hearts. One of the reasons that the ancient Egyptians took such care to preserve their dead with
sweet-smelling herbs was that it became believed Anubis would check each person with his keen
canine nose. Only if they smelled pure would he allow them to enter the Kingdom of the Dead.

Following the merging of the Ennead and Ogdoad belief systems, as a result of the identification
of Atum with Ra, and their compatibility, Anubis became considered a lesser god in the
underworld, giving way to the more popular Osiris. Indeed, when the Legend of Osiris and Isis
emerged, it was said that when Osiris had died, Anubis stood down from his position out of
respect for Osiris.

Since he had been more associated with
beliefs about the weighing of the heart than
had Osiris, Anubis retained this aspect, and
became considered more the gatekeeper of
the underworld, the Guardian of the veil (of
death). As such, he was said to protect souls
as they journeyed there, and thus be the
patron of lost souls (and consequently
orphans). Rather than god of death, he had
become god of dying, and consequently
funeral arrangements. It was as the god of
dying that his identity merged with that of
Wepwawet, a similar jackal-headed god,
associated with funerary practice, who had
been worshipped in Upper Egypt, whereas
Anubis' cult had centred in Lower Egypt.

As one of the most important funerary rites in Egypt involved the process of embalming, so it
was that Anubis became the god of embalming, in the process gaining titles such as He who
belongs to the mummy wrappings, and He who is before the divine [embalming] booth. High
priests often wore the Anubis mask to perform the ceremonial deeds of embalming. It also
became said, frequently in the Book of the dead, that it had been Anubis who embalmed the
dead body of Osiris, with the assistance of the other main funerary deities involved - Nepthys,
and Isis. Having become god of embalming, Anubis became strongly associated with the
(currently) mysterious and ancient imiut fetish, present during funerary rites, and Bast, who by
this time was goddess of ointment, initially became thought of as his mother.

However, as lesser of the two gods of the underworld, he gradually became considered the son of
Osiris, but Osiris' wife, Isis, was not considered his mother, since she too inappropriately was
associated with life. Instead, his mother became considered to be Nepthys, who had become
strongly associated with funerary practice, indeed had in some ways become the personification
of mourning, and was said to supply bandages to the deceased. Subsequently, this apparent
infidelity of Osiris was explained in myth, in which it was said that a sexually frustrated Nepthys
had disguised herself as Isis in order to appeal to her husband, Set, but he did not notice her as
he was gay and infertile, whereas Isis' husband Osiris did, mistaking her for his wife, which
resulted in Anubis' birth. Some more homophobic versions of the myth depict Set as the father.
