Osiris
Osiris was the son of Geb and Nut, and was once the greatest of the Egyptian gods, until murdered by Set. Set was very jealous of his brother Orisis. he tricked Osiris into a chest which was then thrown into the Nile. Osiriss body was retrieved, but when Set found out he tore it into 14 pieces and spread it throughout the Kingdom. All the pieces except one where recovered by the wife of Osiris, Isis. Using magic she embarmed Osiris and restored him to life, after three days. Thus, he represents the cycle of life, and is eternal. From the ancient deities, Osiris inherited the power of control over the forces of nature. He is the god of the afterlife, and vegetation. He demands that his worshippers are honest and square in their dealings with others to earn their place in eternity. |

Thoth
Thoth is mysterious, ancient. Also known as Aah-Djehuti or Tahuti.It is said he was present at the creation, witnessing the birth of Ra. It is occasionally suggested he is the son of Ra, but this is confused. Thoth is the god of knowledge, of scribes, of learning for the sake of improving oneself. He is said to have invented geometry, arithmetic, astronomy, medicine, music and writing, amongst other disciplines. Thoth knows what others do not. Thoth symbolized the Moon in all its phases, although he most strongly represents the new moon. The name Thoth means Thrice Great, and thus he is the equivalent of Hermes Trismegistus of the Greek pantheon. |
