T'hot'

East God – T’hot’ (teh-ho-teh) - associated with incense and knowledge, the psychopomp and the prophet.  Questions to Him must be distinct, or the answers will be too vague to understand, but He will often aid the questioner in narrowing the focus of his/her query so as to elicit a more helpful answer. He is far older than and became the Egyptian Thoth.

I've found three sources that corroborate our pronunciation, instead of having the THs spoken as in "that" or "with." It's interesting as well to note that this and other spellings resemble the word "thought."

In Egyptian mythology, Thoth is the Scribe, inventor of language (both written and spoken), astronomy, geometry, and medicine. He is the Record Keeper, a librarian of sorts, recording all knowledge and communicating with the other Gods.

In Sorgae, our God T'hot' sits in the East, the place of Knowledge and communication. He can easily communicate with the other Gods of our pantheon without any of Them being present. He has said, basically, that the ancient Egyptians knew Him as their ibis-headed God, but He is older than that civilization.

This is another of the Sorgae Gods with whom I haven't had direct contact yet. As a writer and someone fascinated by etymology, He appeals to me. However I think that asking Him to assist in creative writing is inappropriate, as that deals with inspiration, and so is the domain of Ariadne, the Muse. Though it is another East-West connection, the physical act of writing coupled with the ethereal act of inspiration.

Great post, as always. Funny, I never made the connection between the spelling and the word 'thought' It certainly it appropriate though, no?

I didn't either until writing the post. Appropriate indeed, Lady.

This is highly interesting.

He has said, basically, that the ancient Egyptians knew Him as their ibis-headed God, but He is older than that civilization.

That was what Ra said to me as well, only worded differently, of course.

Other Gods in this Sorgae pantheon have made similar claims as well. It's a very pantheist notion.

I *think* I have worked with Him before, because I have worked very closely with Thoth.

The connection to the word "thought" is really fitting.

Excellent post.

Considering T'hot' claims He *became* Thoth, I'd say you have.

*nod* yes
