The Cult of Thoth

will survive among

the Greeks as the
Cult of Mercury
and eventually
become
the powerful order
of Hermes. Its
manifest destiny
begins very early
in Prehistory as a
small
priesthood of
learned men who
follow the Arch
Mage Thoth Tehuti,
the Ibis Magi. The
Cult of
Thoth were
knowledgeable
wielders of
Language, they
understood the
power of names
and
words and built
eternal truths with
the mathematics of
the Universe. Even
those whom Ra
had not
awakened to the
true glory of the
stars could affect
Hedge Magic with
their words and the
True
magi could shape
mountains into
massive edifice in
honour of Pharaoh
and the Gods. The
Hermetic Mages of
today have
continued to
practice a watered
down and
bastardised
version of
the original craft of
Khem's sorcerers
with their sigils and
rotes but it is paltry
in comparison to
the
magic of the
Mythic Age.
And what of Thoth
himself? The
mysterious student
of Isis has been
credited with
various
parents, Ra, Osiris
and Isis, Isis and
Anubis, Osiris and
Nephthys, Anubis
and Nephthys.
Whoever gave
birth to him, it was
Isis who shared his
thirst for
knowledge and
together they
helped Khem
become a kingdom
of magical
prowess. Her
Mother wit and his
detailed and
exacting formula
helped create the
advanced glories
of Khem and each
of them attracted a
huge
and loyal following.
Practices of the
Cult
In Zep Tepi, the
first times, only
members of the
Cult could be
scribes and thus
even the
recording of
Names and taxes
was the domain of
these wise priests.
This monopoly
based in the
'House of Life'
stood for millennia
its secrets survived
the great deluge
and is perhaps the
only
link between
Egypt's two Golden
era. Even into the
Dynastic period it
was the acolytes of
Thoth
who were
responsible for the
keeping of history,
the design and
placement of
Tombs and
monuments, and
the creation of the
art and hieroglyphs
on them. Exacting
ritual and
ceremonies
that took several
months to
complete were vital
to the spiritual well
being of the
Egyptian
kingdoms and the
Cult of Thoth were
indispensable
because of their
ability to conduct
this offices.
This monopoly
stood for millennia
until Sutekh
decimated the
priesthood.
While menial tasks
such as the
appeasement of
the Gods and the
spirits was left to a
lesser class
of priests, the Cult
of Thoth were
second only to the
Royalty. It was they
who presided over
the
Kings ascension,
passing on the
secrets of state
and ensuring that
the Old king
passed on his
knowledge to his
heir. The vast body
of Law and the
exacting need for
correctly
performed ritual
lay in the hands of
the Priesthood,
and the most
intelligent children
were considered
the property
of the Cult almost
without question.
From the scribes
and ministers, to
great Mages like
Imhotep himself,
the Cult of Thoth
was
inseparable from
the day-to-day
existence of the
Egyptian state.
They controlled the
House of
Life, the central
repository of
sacred and
profane
knowledge, of the
Astronomers and
the
fortunetellers.
Pharaoh would
consult the Cult of
Thoth when
seeking advice
from the celestial
bodies and from
the Gods. Weighty
questions about
existence, the
skills required to
traverse the
afterlife, the study
of the Occult and
the mapping of the
Heavens all took
up a great deal of
time
and energy and
the Priesthood
could reasonably
expect to be
housed, fed and
protected by the
rest of Egyptian
society.
Foremost in the
philosophy of the
Cult was the
ongoing quest to
define the
interconnectednes
s of
all things, the
threads that held
the Universe
together. Sigils,
patterns and
Mathematics were
all
used to add
intricate layers to
each project and
the result was an
amalgam of
knowledges and
Lores not easily
discernable by the
untrained eye. The
inclusion of Pi in
the construction of
the
Pyramids, the
positioning of the
shafts within those
structures and the
placement of each
and
every monument
and tomb, all these
served to
communicate a
variety of different
messages on
different levels. To
ask, "what is the
Sphinx?" is foolish;
by seeking a single
defining answer
the

modern mind has

already shut itself
off from the
possibility of
finding the answer.
The Great
Pyramid is at once
a Tomb for a vain
King, a
mathematical
model of the earth,
a fixed point in
space and time, a
Doorway to the
afterlife and tourist
attraction. No land,
no concept in life,
has
such a simple yet
unmistakable icon
than that shape,
and yet there is
nothing simple in
its nature.
The End
for Enoch and
Khem
" [Thoth] …
succeeded in
understanding the
mysteries of the
Heavens [and to
have]
revealed them by
inscribing them in
sacred books
(places?) which he
then hid on Earth,
intending
that they should be
searched for by
future generations,
but found only by
the worthy."
Thoth and his
priests saw the
coming of a
cataclysm in the
celestial signs.
Further
investigation
revealed the
unlikelihood that
Khem, or any of
the great
civilizations ruled
by Enoch, would
survive the coming
disaster intact. The
priesthood who
held learning and
knowledge as so
vital
were faced with
the total
obliteration of
everything they
had mastered,
every secret
revealed and
every philosophy
explored in the
face of the
unyielding chaos of
capricious nature.
The Cult withdrew
from the secular
life of Khem to
concentrate on
forestalling or
circumventing
their own
destruction. The
mastery of
mathematics and
masonry became
their only hope and
the
Cult set about
designing
landmarks and
structures that
would withstand
the misfortune and
somehow
communicate the
secrets of the
universe to later
generations. It is
still unclear as to
whether or not they
succeeded.
Certainly some
great thinkers have
discerned the
hidden secrets
of the pyramids
along with the
crackpots and
Conspiracy
theorists, but the
world isn't ready to
listen.
Remnants of the
knowledge
entrusted to the
world by the Cult of
Thoth survived
when the later
Pharaohs of Egypt
placed their tombs
and temples over
the ruins of ancient
Khem. Concepts
such as Pi are
represented in the
construction of the
Pyramids, and
their alignment to
the cardinal
points and the
exact adherence to
right angles is
unmatched even
by modern
abilities. The
alignment of the
Queens shaft with
the pole star and
the use of the Lion
(remodelled into
the
Sphinx) is meant to
fix a point in
prehistory for the
height of the
kingdom of Khem
of 14,000 years
ago, long before
accepted
archaeology
believes Egyptian
society flourished.
Only now with
modern
investigation
techniques have
we discovered
hidden vaults and
apertures on the
Giza
plain, perhaps one
of these really will
hold the secrets
recorded by none
other than Thoth
himself.
Thoth Tehuti, the
Ibis magi never
saw the completion
of his work, in the
final decades of
Zep Tepi
he made a terrible
sacrifice in an
attempt to
preserve all he had
uncovered about
the hidden
nature of creation.
In concert with Isis,
Thoth sought to
record his
knowledge upon a
book even
more enduring
than rock and
stone. For the
Magi knew that the
soul of man was
capable of
surviving beyond
any catastrophe,
even the complete
annihilation of the
planet Earth itself.
Isis
had been working
fervently on
magic's to restore
her dead husband
to life, or at least
Unlife. This
Spell, the Spell of
life was a powerful
reweaving of the
laws of nature and
if successful would
allow a human to
survive the trials
and tribulations in
the Duat and to
return to its body.
In a secret
chamber deep
beneath the dark
sand of Khem, Isis
and Nephthys
prepared to create
the first of the
Reborn. Two
lifelong friends had
agreed to undergo
the untested Spell
of Life for
their Queen and
Thoth was not
about to pass up
this chance for an
immortal student.
As Anpw,
the first of the men
was being given
the Ritual, Thoth
was secretly
altering the nature
of his
companion. By
taken his own
Avatar, the source
of his power, Thoth
made a book out of
a boy.
He etched the
mysteries of the
heavens, the
secrets of his craft,
upon the very soul
of this boy
and then sent him
to be made
immortal by the
Spell of Life. If only
that ritual had been
completed
our modern world
would be a vastly
altered place.
