Written by: Dawn Black (Witchipedia)

Anubis is the Egyptian God of the dead and the embalming process. He presided over the embalming of Osiris when he was killed by Seth. Priests would sometimes wear masks of Anubis when performing embalming rituals.

He is associated with the jackal and often imaged with a jackal’s head.
