Greetings, i'm getting a tattoo of the Eye of Hours, however i don't understand the correct orientation of the eye. Every place i check switches it's orientation and I DO NOT want to get the Eye of Ra by mistake. I've checked egyptian dictionaries and books but there is no precise explanation comparing both Ra and Horus eyes.
I understand that the correct side is the left, viewing it from our perspective: the tear duct is on the right and the curve where the eye ends is on the left. The 'complete eye' is on the right as we are looking at it from our perspective, but I don't understand why they sometimes place the Eye of Horus on the left side, with the tear duct on the left and the curve on the right—the 'complete eye' on the left.
I'm getting confused... if the left eye is just the left eye from our perspective to ourselves or if the left is the right as we are seeing someone's left eye (on the right) in front of us face-to-face.
