yourmaj3sty:    Osiris is often represented with the lower part of his body wrapped like a mummy. Man’s spirit consists of three distinct parts, only one of which incarnates in physical form. The human body was considered to be a tomb of this incarnating spirit. Therefore Osiris, a symbol of the incarnating ego, was represented with the lower half of his body mummified to indicate that he was the living spirit of man enclosed within the material form symbolized by the mummy case.
