Indian
mythology has the stories of the gods which have fascinated the people.
The parables have been used to enhance their knowledge to increase their
light bodies so that eventually they be gods, as the gods that walked
in their midst. Egypt had such gods. The
wisest
of the Egyptian gods was Thoth or known as Djhuty, Djehuty, Tehuty. |

He was depicted as the Baboon and the Ibis god of the moon. Thoth was the god who overcame the curse of Ra, allowing Nut to give birth to her five children. It was he who helped Isis work the ritual to bring Osiris back from the dead, and who drove the magical poison of Set from her son, Horus with the power of his magic. He was Horus' supporter during the young god's deadly battle with his uncle Set, helping Horus with his wisdom and magic. It was Thoth who brought Tefnut, who left Egypt for Nubia in a sulk after an argument with her father, back to heaven to be reuinted with Ra. When Ra retired from the earth, he appointed Thoth and told him of his desire to create a Light-soul in the Duat and in the Land of the Caves, and it was over this region that the sun god appointed Thoth to rule, ordering him to keep a register of those who were there, and to mete out just punishments to them. Thoth became the representation of Ra in the afterlife, seen at the judgement of the dead in the 'Halls of Amenti'. The
magical powers of Thoth were so great, that the Egyptians had stories
of a Book of Thoth, which would allow a person who read the sacred book
to become the most powerful magician. The Book which the god of wisdom
wrote with his own hand was a book that brought nothing but pain and tragedy
to those that read it. Afterall if you had to be like the gods then the
attachments of the human life had to be set aside. Despite that one learnt
about the secrets of the gods themselves and all that is hidden in the
stars.
Thoth was a god of creation, but was later thought to be the one who civilized men, teaching them civic and religious practices, writing, medicine, music and magic. The god of learning was also a god of measuring the passage of time. He was the One who Made Calculations Concerning the Heavens, the Stars and the Earth, the Reckoner of Seasons, the one who Measured the Heavens and Planned those on Earth. He was the God of the Equilibrium and Master of the Balance. The Lord of the Divine Body, Scribe of the Gods, the Voice of Ra, the Author of Every Work on Every Branch of Knowledge, both Human and Divine, he who understood all that is hidden under the heavenly vault. Thoth was not just a scribe and friend to the gods, but central to order - ma'at - both in Egypt and in the Duat. He was He who Reckons the Heavens, the Counter of the Stars and the Measurer of the Earth. It was he that raised 'DJed/ the Pillar of Power, the energy symbol that was built into the pyramid of Cheops. |
