The Eye of Horus, also known as Wadjet, is a powerful ancient Egyptian symbol associated with protection, healing, and restoration. It's rooted in the myth of the god Horus and his struggle with Set, where Horus's eye was damaged but later restored. This act of restoration symbolized wholeness, health, and divine protection, making the Eye of Horus a potent amulet and a representation of the gods' power to aid both the living and the deceased.  

The Eye of Horus is linked to healing and positive protection while the Eye of Ra is linked to violent protection and wrath. There are also differences in usage in ancient Egyptian culture. Both eyes were fashioned into jewelry for their different protective purposes.

The Eye of Ra is a powerful symbol in ancient Egyptian mythology, representing the sun god Ra's power, often depicted as a solar disk or a protective eye. It can be seen as an extension of Ra's power or as an independent goddess, embodying both his nurturing and destructive aspects. The Eye of Ra is associated with various goddesses like Hathor, Sekhmet, and Bastet, and is sometimes portrayed as a vengeful force against those who disrespect Ra.
