Thoth/Hermes

Thoth/Hermes 

Thoth/Hermes - a demi-god - 'a Place Taker' a son of P'taah and keeper of divine secret knowledge.
Thoth is most often depicted as wearing an ibis mask, with the head of an ibis, a large bird of the Nile.
Egyptians associated the ibis's long curved beak with the moon. The ibis was regarded as one of Thoth's
Earthly representatives. In Egyptian mythology, Thoth was the god of the moon, god of wisdom, the
measurer of time, and the inventor of writing and numbers. He is credited with devising the standard 365-
day year. Thoth was depicted with a symbol combining the Sun's disk and the Moon's crescent upon his
head, and - in words reminiscent of the biblical adoration of the Celestial Lord - the Egyptian inscriptions
and legends said of Thoth that his knowledge and powers of calculating 'measured out the heavens and
planned the Earth'.Thoth was the 'god of the equilibrium' and considered depictions of him as the
'Master of the Balance' to indicate that he was associated with the equinoxes - the time when the day and
the night were balanced. He was also the brother of Marduk/RA - a demi-god. His mate was Seshat.
Scribe of the Gods. Thoth was one of the most powerful Gods worshiped throughout Egypt. He was
known as Tehuti, or Thoth, "master of divine words and sacred writing." Thoth later became Merlin, St.
Germaine, etc. Thoth
Seshat is the Goddess of Libraries, all forms of Writing and the Measurement of Time. The Egyptians
believed that Seshat invented writing, while Thoth taught writing to mankind. She was known as
'Mistress of the House of Books', indicating that she also took care of Thoth's library of spells and scrolls.
