WhyThoth

Out of the many Egyptian Gods and Goddesses, Thoth is an unusual Egyptian God who is a patron of knowledge, secrets, writing and scribes. Though some stories place him as a son of Ra, others say that Thoth created himself from language. According to Egyptian Mythology he is said to be the creator of magic, the inventor of writing, the messenger of gods and synonymous with the Greek god Hermes. 



 Thoth has a head of an Ibis and Ibis' beak resembles a crescent moon.
Thoth the scribe, wrote the story of our reality then put it into grids for us to experience and learn through the alchemy of time and experience.

Thoth's role as a mediator is well documented. It is fascinating to know that it is he who questions the souls of the dead about their deeds in life and then judges them.

I am interested in Egyptology and Egyptian hieroglyphs and who better to depict that than Thoth. Add to that, we are both nocturnal-it is a lunar deity and goes to sleep only after greeting the new day.



How it all Started!


                                Thursday afternoon with nothing to do and irritated by my fluctuating internet service I call up the 'internet-man' to fix my connection. Luckily he turns up and fixes the problem by twitching some wires on my building's rooftop. Happily I open my Facebook account and start surfing and chatting. While visiting a post written by one of my friend, in her blog, I decided to comment. There it starts...

The comment was posted alright, but I had opened a blog of my own without any intentions of creating any. Whatever, I now sit in front of the laptop typing my first blog.
So Hello Bloggers!

Suggestions are welcome as to what you do in a blog.

Have a great evening!
