In ancient Egyptian mythology, Anubis presides over the judgment of the dead. He leads the soul to the Hall of Judgment for the “Weighing of the Heart” ceremony. In this ritual, the heart is placed on one side of a scale, and the Feather of Truth and Justice on the other.
If the heart is lighter, the soul was mostly good; if heavier, evil prevailed in life.
Suspended between them is the Sword of Damocles, balancing the scales. Moral, societal, and personal judgment all converge here—inviting deep self-reflection.
