Thoth

One of Thoth's duties was alongside Anubis in the Underworld. As Anubis weighed the souls of the dead, it was Thoth who recorded the results of each test. Thoth was the God of record keeping, knowledge, mathematics, astronomy, geometry, and written language. The crown on his head usually has a crescent moon, as he is closely tied to lunar magick as well. He was not a common figure among the myths and stories of Egypt, but was still a very important element of spiritual life.

Thoth was illustrated most frequently with the head of an ibis (a crane-like bird of Egypt), but also with the face of an ape. The family relations of Thoth are unclear, and it's believed he was a self-created God without any recorded parentage. Thoth has existed from the beginning of time, and in some aspects represents time itself.

The modern-day occultist Aleister Crowley felt a strong connection with the Thoth, and was inspired by the God of Wisdom. Crowley wrote "The Book of Thoth" along with the companion deck of Tarot cards.

The main temple to Thoth was at Hermopolis, in the delta of the Nile.
