Heru is the son of Ausar and Auset, the divine child of the holy family triad. He is one of many gods associated with the falcon. His name means "he who is above" and "he who is distant". The falcon had been worshipped from earliest times as a cosmic deity whose body represents the heavens and whose eyes represent the sun and the moon.
The story of Ausar, Auset and Heru: The God Ausar and the Goddess Auset were King and Queen in Kemet. Their brother, the God Set was jealous of Ausar and murdered Him. He took Ausar's body and threw it in the river. Auset was then
removed from power and Set took over the rule of the country,
reigning as a tyrant. Auset searched tirelessly for the body of her husband. When she found him she performed a ritual. Through ritual, the Spirit of the God Ausar came to Auset, and through their Divine spiritual union Auset became pregnant with Heru.
