CROWN OF UPPER AND LOWER EGYPT-THE SEKHET OR PSCHENT CROWN

An emblem of the Divine supremacy over the higher and lower natures in the Soul.

"Amen-Rå, Lord of the uraeus crown, exalted by the two feathers, beautiful of diadem of the white crown of Upper Egypt. . . . He is adorned in his palace with the Sekhet crown. Loving its south and its north (i.e. the two divisions of Egypt which are symbolised by the Sekhet crown)." - WIEDEMANN, Rel. of Anc. Egyptians, p. 113.

The “uraeus” crown signifies the triumph of Wisdom over the lower nature, and the "feathers" (plumes) signify the aspiring condition in which supremacy is realised. The "south and north" are the higher and lower divisions of Egypt which symbolise the higher and lower mental planes.
