Wepwawet

Wolf god, guide of spiritual paths and unknown thresholds. Wepwawet opens the doors of the worlds, leading the soul beyond visible limits. Call upon him when you seek a path, guidance, or a new beginning.

Wepwawet is the God who opens the gates of destiny and guides the steps of the soul through the visible and the invisible.
He is the forerunner of the journey, the path that shines before the pure heart.

The name Wepwawet (Wp-wꜣwt) literally means “He Who Opens the Ways.”
He is one of the most ancient deities of the Egyptian pantheon, originally worshipped at Asyut (Lycopolis) — the “City of the Jackals.”

In origin, Wepwawet was a warrior god, who opened the way for the pharaohs in battle and during ceremonial processions.
Over the centuries, his role expanded into the spiritual realm: he became a guide of souls through the realms of the afterlife, a forerunner of Anubis, with whom he was often associated.

Unlike Anubis, who presides over the weighing of the soul and the rites of mummification, Wepwawet represents the moment of transition, the first step toward the light.
He is the one who breaks boundaries, dissolves veils, and opens the portals that separate the worlds.

In iconography, he appears as a gray or black jackal (the color of rebirth) upon a standard — a symbol of movement and spiritual guidance.
He was carried before the pharaoh in wars and funeral processions alike, as a spirit-guide who cleared the way.

On an initiatory level, Wepwawet represents the Inner Master who opens the way of the soul — the first contact with mystery, the force that dissolves fear and invites passage.
He is the spiritual pioneer, the one who enters the darkness first so that others may follow him into the light.
