Reading about Thoth and Maat. Thoth, as a word, comes from the Greek reading of the Egyptian hieroglyphics. Mcavity from tarotforum has an excellent explanation here: http://www.tarotforum.net/library/16/2003-08/how-do-you-pronounce-thoth-20030816.shtml The hieroglyphics did not write out vowels, and the sounds of "djwhty" (dj wh ty) recorded apparently come out as something like theta-omega-theta in Greek, which in English became th o th. From Wikipedia: Djehuty is sometimes alternatively rendered as Jehuti, Tahuti, Tehuti, Zehuti, Techu, or Tetu. Thoth (also Thot or Thout) is the Greek version derived from the letters ḏḥwty. Thoth as a concept is the pursuit of knowledge, the impulse towards art, scholarship, information and the pursuit of balance. (I will think of his name as Thought. It seems appropriate.) Ma'at has somewhat less controversy over her name. She is balance. She is the universal law. The laws of physics, the laws of thermodynamics, the laws we live by. She is the order by which the universe runs- she is what science tries to explain, she is the understanding Thoth encourages us to pursue. She was thought by the Egyptians to be a goddess who encouraged tradition over innovation. A sorry contradiction, since science is about change- the willingness to change personally when your theories are wrong and the ability to recognize change in the universe. Nothing remains the same within our stars.
