pillar of djed
nature_spirit earth single tradition · 1
The pillar of djed is a consecrated pillar, anointed with myrrh and wrapped in linen by Isis. It was originally a tree that grew rapidly around the coffin of Osiris, enclosing the coffin within its trunk. The king of the land ordered the tree cut down and installed as a pillar in his palace, unaware that the tree contained Osiris's body.
