Anubis
the jackal who keeps the threshold
earthAnubis walks the border between the living and the dead, weighing each heart against a feather; to dream of him is to be gently reminded that you will one day be measured only by how light you kept your own heart.

In the still hall he sets your heart upon the scale, and if it weighs heavier than a single feather, the waiting devourer stirs beneath the beam.
He walks softly at the front of every funeral, a black guide who has learned all the roads of the dark and will not let a soul lose its way.
