Crocodiles, like snakes, are simultaneously fearsome, dangerous creatures and potent symbols of spiritual and psychic protection. Pregnant Isis, after all, hid in the crocodile infested swamps of the Nile Delta. It was the safest spot she knew.
In ancient days, the papyrus plant, which once lined the Nile, was a hieroglyphic emblem for Lower Egypt, especially that Nile Delta swampland. It also served as a protective emblem from crocodiles, lending new meaning to Moses' cradle on the Nile, formed from papyrus. This symbol (shown here) can be used in a variety of ways to create a protective talisman.
* Draw the hieroglyph on parchment paper and carry it.
* For intensive protection, draw the hieroglyph onto the body with henna, or if danger is constant, consider a tattoo.
* Carry a photograph of living papyrus plants as a talisman or post it in a prominent location.
