Scorpion Guardians

Sacred scorpion guardians appear in ancient myths from Egypt, Mesopotamia, and Greece. They serve as escorts, attendants, and servants to some of the most powerful goddesses. Many Scorpion Guardians are female. They are envisioned either as monstrously huge scorpions (big enough to hold their own in a Godzilla movie) or as hybrid scorpion-people (in the way that a mermaid is a fish-woman).

• In the epic of Gilgamesh, scorpion spirits patrol the border at the end of the human realm.

• When Orion threatens to exterminate all Earth’s creatures, either Artemis or Gaia dispatched a scorpion to stop him. It stung the mighty hunter and then followed him into the sky, where the pursuit continues eternally.

• The most famous Scorpion Guardians are the Scorpion Girls who serve as Isis’ entourage and bodyguards when, pregnant and as a new mother, she is in hiding from her brother Set. The Scorpion Girls travel with her and protect her. When human beings are mean and rude to Isis, the goddess is forgiving but the Scorpion Girls are not. When Horus, Isis’ son, grew up, he married one of the Scorpion Girls. Selket is their leader.

Scorpion Guardians may be invoked for protection when you are truly in need if you have an affinity with scorpions; if you are a Scorpio, if the sign Scorpio is prominent in your natal chart, or if you have a close alliance with the goddesses whom the Scorpion Guardians serve. One must be very brave to summon them; they are extremely powerful, extremely fierce, and forbidding. Don’t bother them for trifles. Call on them when it’s a matter of life and death.
