Thoth

Somebody had to write it all down. He never put the palette away.

7 chapters on the figure behind the card, researched in the Egyptian mythology sources and reviewed before publication. See Thoth’s card →

1. The Ibis and the Baboon Two animals, one figure, and nobody left an explanation.
2. Lord of the Divine Words Egyptians called their writing the god's words. They meant his.
3. Reckoner of Years The moon was the calendar, and he was the one counting.
4. The Recorder at the Scales Anubis holds the beam. Thoth is the reason it counts.
5. The Eye Made Whole The famous amulet is not an eye. It is a repair.
6. Five Days Won at Draughts The year was 360 days. He gambled five more out of the moon.
7. Four Million Birds Millions of mummified ibises. Nobody knows where they came from.
