Anubis is the deity charged with the task of guiding souls from the world of the living into the afterlife. As part of this journey, Anubis served as “Guardian of the Scales.” The ancient Egyptian funerary text, “The Book of the Dead,” depicts Anubis as he performs the rite of weighing the heart of the deceased in the Hall of Two Truths. This ritual involved placing the heart on one side of a golden scale, while a feather was placed on the opposite side. The feather represented the embodiment of the Ma'at, or “truth,” and it was that feather which a person’s deeds were weighed against. If the heart was heavier than the feather, then the soul was judged to have done more evil than good in life and was consumed by Ammit, the Devourer of the Dead. If the heart was lighter than the feather, the soul was ushered into the Kingdom of Osiris where it enjoyed the rewards of the afterlife.
In addition to his important role in the conveyance of the dead and the judgment their souls, Anubis is also known as the patron god of embalmers. In the Osiris legends, it is Anubis who embalmed the God of the Deceased and protected the body after Osiris was killed by his brother, Set. After Set assumed the form of a leopard, Anubis killed the evil beast and wore its skin as a warning to evildoers, thus becoming known as the Protector of Tombs and lord of the sacred desert necropolis.
