This is Osiris. I use a statuette of him to help facilitate my brewing process. My belief is that if I place the statue near my beer and mead during the fermentation process the alcohol will come out tasty. So, yeah, I make beer and mead; I am surprised I haven't included a photo of that part of my life yet. Anyway, Osiris is the Egyptian god of the underworld and afterlife. In Egyptian times, beer seemed to magically spring up from barley sitting in a jar filled with rain water. To Egyptians, this was god like. So, the thought was that Osiris was gifting them with beer. As such, Osiris became an Egyptian god of beer…among all his other god duties.
