#thoth deity

In the hour when thought unravels, you appeared—already written— a figure of ibis and idea, trailing living glyphs through sleep.

No voice, only alignment: my inner stars quietly corrected.

“You are not the reader,” the silence spoke, “but the ink remembering itself.”

My name dissolved, then returned—refined.

And when you were gone, one truth remained:

the depiction of egyptian gods always fascinated me when i was a child, i even drew Thot for an elementary school art project. (now knowing he was identified by the greeks with Hermész Trismegistus makes so much sense)

Prayer to Thoth, Keeper of the Hidden Word

O Thoth, Lord of the Silent Measure, Scribe of the Infinite Library, You who set the stars in their exact paths and weigh the heart against the feather of Truth— I call upon your silver quill.

Carve upon the winds the glyphs unseen, etch into my mind the scrolls of eternity. Let my tongue speak the hidden syllables that unlock the gates between worlds.

Bless me with the patience of the moon’s slow turning, the clarity of papyrus unmarked, the courage to write what the soul has whispered through lifetimes of shadow and light.

Keeper of the Emerald Tablet, who knows the measure of all beginnings and endings, grant me the vision to read the unseen margins and the wisdom to place each mark in balance.

Through your ink, let my thoughts take wing. Through your measure, let my path be true. Through your blessing, may I remember the first Word and the last Silence.

Today at work I wrote up a special prayer to Thoth (aka Djehuty) asking for him to help me find the energy to work hard, since I work at a library which is like his place, and I became so filled with strength to keep working that I immediately gave offerings to him once I got home. I plan on using that prayer whenever I need to at work now, with the condition that I'll always give offering either before or after I get home of course.
