Thoth

God of writing, knowledge, and sacred magic, Thoth is the messenger between Gods and men. He brings balance, truth, and divine inspiration. His light opens the doors of the initiatory mind and secret language.

Thoth, Djehuty in the language of Kemet, is the God of Absolute Knowledge, of Sacred Language, of the Art of Writing, and of Ceremonial Magic.
He is depicted as a man with the head of an ibis or as a baboon, both symbols of the illuminated mind and of the connection with cosmic cycles.

According to the Egyptian Mysteries, Thoth is the one who invented writing (Medu Neter), the sacred letters that contain the power of the creative word.
It was he who recorded the words of Maat, the Divine Order, and counted the days of the world, establishing the rhythm between Gods and men.

Thoth is the mediator between light and darkness, between spirit and matter.
In the Book of the Dead, he assists Anubis in the judgment of souls, writing down the results upon the Scales of the Heart.

In the sapiential texts, he is described as
“He who knows the secrets of heaven and earth,
who measures the stars, and listens to the voice of the waters.”

In Hermetic thought, Thoth became Trismegistus, the Thrice-Great, the foundation of all sacred arts and occult sciences.
He is the symbol of knowledge that illuminates without burning,
of the word that creates without destroying.
