Thoth

Thoth - the god of time, wisdom, moonlight and knowledge - is one of the most famous and greatest deities of an Ancient Egypt.

Like the vast majority of Egyptian gods, he was depicted with the head of his sacred animal - in this case, it is an ibis - a symbol of writing itself and the magic of the Word.

As a god of time, Thoth was the patron of longevity, succession to the throne and inheritance in general, the god of measures and weights, justice and truth; as the god of wisdom, he was honored as inventor of hieroglyphs, the author of sacred books, a magician, the god of libraries, public places, the patron of scientists, the founder of finance. He also patronized writing and education. In addition to writing, he was considered the founder and inventor of a large number of everyday and religious observances. Therefore, he took care of all dimensions and, in general, most of the events that occur in the world.

All the archives and the famous library of Hermopolis, the center of Thoth's cult, were under his patronage. This God "ruled over all languages" and was himself considered the tongue of the Ptah. As a secretary of the gods, Thoth was even at the trial of Osiris and recorded the results of weighing the soul of the dead one.

He is an extremely practical, pragmatic and balanced deity - emotions and feelings do not bother him at all, he gives them no more attention than to a feather in his hand.

Scientists, students, researchers, archaeologists and other people whose life is connected with obtaining new knowledge or consolidating old ones are most often pray to Thoth than anybody.

Offer the Great Ibis meat and fruit, and then briefly and as clearly as possible make your request to him - do not get too emotional. After the ritual and prayer, go to bed calmly - it is likely that Thoth's baboons will bring you a couple of curious thoughts that you asked for.
