What is in a Name?

Why Living Horus? We're glad you asked! The Pharaohs of ancient Egypt were given 5 names when they ascended the throne. One of them was known as their Horus name, as Pharaoh was considered to be the living embodiment of Horus on Earth.

Since the role of Pharaoh was thought to be the highest spiritual evolution humankind could strive for on the earthly plain, it seemed that the name Living Horus was a title one strives to achieve in the pursuit of perfection.


About Living Horus Designs

Living Horus Designs has existed in one form or another since it's inception by Blair Parkinson in 2005. Created to showcase his work as a Visual Artist and Stage Designer, it has evolved even further over the years and rose phoenix-like out of the ashes of Covid-19's initial devastating impact.

Living Horus Designs was re-established also as a way for Blair to rehabilitate himself and maintain independence after a serious Brain Injury in mid-2016. Seven years later the success of the venture has led to creating a partnership by bringing his husband-to-be, Zac Chalkley in as co-owner.

We now look forward to a very bright future, one where we maintain the beauty, spirituality and essence of ancient Kemet by keeping the flame alive.
