"Kohl" We where each assigned a color with a small except explaining the history of the color. We where only aloud to use the color assigned in the artwork. I was assigned Kohl, which was used in ancient Egypt as a sort of eyeliner, worn for its protective qualities both against the sun and against illnesses that affect the eyes. The rich would mix crushed pearls or emeralds or such things to add a shiner to their kohl. It was later discovered that the chemicals kohl is made of helps prevent eye infection. My ancient Egyptian grammar may be off but the hieroglyphs spell out "ointment that protects the eyes" in ancient Egyptian. The hieroglyph on the top right is the symbol of Sheshat goddess of scribes and illustrators.

Devotional Prayer to Thoth

📜✍️ 🫀⚖️🪶

Thoth who dwells in the House of Life,

Lord of the Mansion of the Moon,

Most devoted to Maat,

And partner to Sheshat.

You saved the Horus child

From the scorpion's sting,

And restore the Eye,

Rendering it whole again each month.

For you know all the Words,

Of healing and magic,

Life, death, and rebirth.

Tutor and scribe,

Physician and magician,

Chiefest of Gods,

Him of the many names.

You know my true name,

For you recorded it on the day of my birth.

You see all that I do and hear all that I say,

And it is you who shall declare my worth

When my heart is weighed

At the end of my Earthly time.

Look kindly upon me Thoth,

And help me to learn and understand

What it means to live a good life,

What it means to walk this magical path.

Sheshat chasing after Eriopis because -- NO COME BACK LITTLE ONE. DON’T RUN OFF IN THAT DIRECTION, YOUR PARENTS ARE OVER THERE IF YOU JUST LOOK!

[thaliajoy-blog]

The process of drawing another Egyptian Dany! with little Missandei by her side.

Daenerys is dressed as Horus, god-king of Egypt who protects hiw kingdom from evil and defeated the evil god Seth to avenge his father. All pharaohs are associated with Horus. Here the Falcon symbols are replaced with Dany's dragon symbolism. And she wears Viserion on her shoulder + wears a necklace with the sun disk.

Missandei's look is inspired from three gods (all related in some way) : her dress is that of Sheshat, a goddess of wisdom and writing ; she bears a moon crescent for Sheshat's father Thot, also god of writing and wisdom and many kinds of knowledge, and of paramount importance in the Egyptian Pantheon (the moon is one of his symbols, like the baboon on Missandei's shoulder) - he's the patron god of scribes (Missandei being called a "little scribe" in the books). And lastly, she has on her head the feather of Maat, goddess of truth and justice (and who is also Thot's wife).

Together, they represent the royal power, it's justice and it's balance.

Has there ever been an artificial being described in Egyptian mythology? Like something either the gods or men made. If so what is their name(s)?

(Disclaimer I'm just a white binch with a deep deep love for ancient Egyptian history,my knowledge is not definite)

You mean like unexplained technology? Not to the best of my knowledge

The ancient Egyptians where masters of invention,craft and maths,you name it. Written language,metal craft,complex construction,sailing both short and long distances,as well as like an honestly almost endless list of other accomplishments have at this point been uncovered and recreated with original methods so they really had no need for stories of god given technology since they could so it for themselves

There are plenty of like,knowledge gods (Thoth being most famous,he is credited with creating language,and if I'm remembering right the ability to make real whatever he imagines? Also credited with the invention of law,religion,philosophy and science). there's Sheshat,goddess of knowledge,wisdom and writing but writing was given to thoth and she was demoted. Also worth noting Ptah,god of craftsmanship and architects

Basically we know a lot about the tech and it's p much all been recreated at this point

If your looking for story/dnd inspo for this theme those are the gods id look to but would say that godly intervention isn't strictly needed from a culture of such sharp minds. But if your looking for a like conspiracy angle? Nah Bruh They where just that fuckin good

Sheshat withholds her blessing from asshole companies

Thru Sheshat

[a-lemon-tree]

Consort to the God Thoth (sometimes sister, sometimes wife) who brought writing and Hieroglyphs to the Egyptian people, the goddess Seshat was tasked with presiding over all that was written. She ruled the domain of the written word, overseeing its use in the mortal world, the celestial heavens, and the realm of the dead.

“Known as ‘she who is foremost in the library'”(1) Seshat was the collector and cataloger of all the works stored in the Library (Egyptian – House of Life) where all of the important and sacred texts were kept; it was in the House of Life that scribes and scholars would discuss concepts such as religion, cosmology, astronomy and mathematics.

The texts Seshat collected on earth were also mirrored and collected in the celestial House of Life in the heavens. Here, texts were given immortality through their eternal storage in this library and scribes could earn a form of immortality via their words if Seshat retained them – a blessing for any writer who manages to impress the Goddess.

As well as collecting works, Seshat also took on the role of a scribe alongside Thoth. The Egyptians saw writing as a form of magic, believing that if something could be created in the form of the written word, it could also manifest into the world through the word as a medium, something that holds true for many magical systems to this present day. Her work as a scribe often meant recording and tallying the passing of years, and she is often depicted holding a palm frond which she marks with notches to designate the passage of time.

She also functioned as a guide in the underworld (a Psychopomp); as the keeper of books she could help the newly dead interpret the spells written down in each individual’s unique Book of the Dead (more properly known as the Book of Coming Forth Death), and hopefully navigate safely through the underworld. Another reminder of this is the fact that she is often depicted wearing a cheetah or leopard hide, both of which are symbols of funerary priests.

^ Seshat marking her palm frond. This figure of the goddess is carved on the back of the throne of the seated statue of Rameses II., author Jon Bodsworth.

Another important task Seshat performed was helping the Pharaoh hold the knotted cord which was used for the measurement of buildings; laying the foundations and aligning the sacred geometry with the heavens above. This ceremonial task was known as the Stretching of the Cord, and expanded Seshat’s patronage to builders as well.

Building and writing were seen as related processes; after all, they both involve the conception and creation of something that has not existed before. This is a poetic understanding of the process of writing, as well as architecture, though it could be extended to any of the arts.

So, the next time you create something from nothing (including, but not limited to accounting, architecture, astronomy, astrology, building, mathematics, and surveying), remember the Goddess with the Seven Pointed Crown, the Lady of Writing, the wife of Thoth, the incomparable Sheshat.

Powerful Academic Spells Through Sheshat

Very powerful Egyptian magic spells through Sheshat are here! Seshat is the ancient Egyptian deity of wisdom, knowledge and writing, following which date back as early as the second dynasty. She came from Lower Egypt however; the following covers the entire nation. She is what looks like a woman, her daughter and sometimes a feminine aspect of the god of…

[psyentifically-minded]

Ptah: Ptah (depicted top left) was a luna God said to be the husband of Bastet or Sekhmet and was thus father of Nefertem and Maahes. Ptah was depicted as a green-skinned pharoah with a crescent and full moon on his head, standing on the symbol for Ma’at and holding a staff crossed with a scepter/ankh and the djed pillar of Osiris, he is also sometimes pictured with a crook and flail. Ptah was often described as self-creating and sometimes credited with creating the universe he also God of craftsmen, metallurgy, sculptors, ship builders and carpenters suggesting that he may be related to Egyptian builder cults. Ptah was also known to be part of a trinity with Osiris and Sobek and was identified with the Apis bull and acted as a herald of Ra. Ptah was also the foundation of Ma’at that the scales rested upon.

Qadesh: Qadesh was a Semitic Goddess sometimes worshiped in ancient Egypt.

Qebehsenuef: Qebehsenuef was a God with the head of a hawk and was one of the four sons of Horus. Qebehsenuef was therefore depicted on canopic jars and was the one in which the Intestines were stored, he was said to be protected by Selket. Qebehsenuef was said to represent the West and was one of the four rudders of heaven or four pillars of Shu.

Ra: Ra (depicted top and central) was the main solar God of Egypt particularly associated with the noon sun. Ra was said to have fathered Shu and Tefnut in some myths and in others he was born from the unfurling of the lotus in the primordial waters of creation. Ra is said to have created Hathor, Sekhmet and Bastet who are all also his consorts and daughters and ultimately one Goddess identified as the “Eye of Ra”. Ra took many forms and was merged with many deities including: Amun, Horus, Atum and Khepri he also had a female counterpart making him an androdgynous being she was known as Raet-Tawy. Ra literally represented the sun and was depicted as the sun, when merged with other deities they were depicted with the sun disc on their heads. Ra was said to travel in two boats across the sky (Nut) these were Mandjet in the morning and Mesektet in the evening. When Ra was upon Mandjet he took the form of a ram and was accompanied by the deities Sia, Hu and Heka. In the evenings Ra was accompanied by other deities such as Seth. Ra was said to battle each night with the serpent God of chaos Apophis and was said to be swallowed and sent to the underworld each night to become one with Osiris and was then reborn victorious in the mornings as Horus - the sun on the horizon (Horus-Risen).

Raet-Tawy: Raet-Tawy was the female aspect of the sun God Ra and may have come to influence later Goddesses such as Hathor.

Rem: Rem (depicted top right) was known as the “tears of Ra” and was a fish God said to fertilize the land with his weeping which then provided vegetation, amphibians and reptiles. Rem was a male counterpart to Hatmehit a fish Goddess known as the “Eye of Ra” this pair may have influenced the star sign of Pisces as they are known to be the two fish protecting the sun Gods boat.

Renenutet: Renenutet was a cobra-headed Goddess often depicted as an aspect of Ma’at with the feather of truth on her head she was said to give the Ren (name) at birth and was mother of Nehebkau who bound the Ba (soul) to the Ka (vital spark).

Renpet: Renpet was the Egyptian representation of the year and was the Goddess of time, a kind of zeitgeist known as the “mistress of eternity”.

Satis: Satis was the Goddess of the flooded Nile. Satis was an early war, hunting and fertility deity who was seen as the mother of the Goddess Anuket and a protector of Southern Egypt. One of Satis’s titles was “she who runs like an arrow”, which is thought to refer to the river current and as such her symbols became the arrow and running river. Satis was pictured as a woman wearing the conical crown with gazelle or antelope horns or as an antelope - a fast moving creature that lived along the Niles banks. Satis was often depicted with a bow and arrows however she may also be depicted with an ankh symbolising the life giving powers of the Nile. Satis acted as a fertility Goddess who graunted the wishes of those who sought out love. Satis is also described as offering jars of purifying water. Satis would later be described as a consort of Khnum. Satis is also one of the Goddesses refered to as the “Eye of Ra”.

Sekhmet: Sekhmet (depicted second row and left) is the lioness-headed Goddess of war and wife of Ptah, she was said to be born from the fiery gaze of Ra gaining her title “Eye of Ra” and eventually became Bastet and Hathor. Sekhmet is also described as mother of Nerfertem and Maahes. Sekhmet was a Goddess of fire and vengeance and was known as “arbiter of the divine justice of the Goddess Ma’at”. Sekhmet also held the titles “one before whom evil trembles”, “lady of slaughter”, “mistress of dread” and “lady of the flame”, in these respects she can be seen as an ambivalent force both a protective Goddess against demons and as a force of evil herself. Sekhmet had a close association with blood and was only ever dressed in red likewise she was once sent to end humanity by utilising her powers as eye of Ra only to be tricked into drinking alcahol which pacified her and transformed her into Bastet this story influenced the worship of Sekhmet with rituals involving wine and associating her with the flood Nile when it coloured red with clay and silt. Sekhmet was often depicted with a sun disc and Uraeus on her head while holding a scepter and ankh.

Selket: Selket (depicted second row and central) was a scorpion Goddess sometimes depicted as a scorpion with a womans head, chest and arms and at other times as a woman with a scorpion on her head holding a scepter and ankh. Selket was the Goddess of poison, venom and venomous creatures as well as medicine and was invoked to cure those who were suffering as a result of such things, she was also a fertility Goddess associated with nature and magic. Selket was associated with protection from venomous creatures and thus also from demons and particularly Apophis who she guarded once he was captured and bound. Since venomous bites could lead to death Selket was said to be protector of the dead also and was a consort of Horus and the mother of the four sons of Horus who protected the organs of the dead. Selket was made up of other scorpion Goddesses such as Hedetet and ultimately became synonymous with Isis.

Sheshat: Sheshat or Seshat (depicted second row and right) was a Goddess of scribes and messurment who was acredited with discovering writting and was also a Goddess of architecture, astronomy, astrology, building, mathematics, surveying and cannabis. As a Goddess of architecture and messurements Sheshat likely relates to early Egyptian builder cults. Sheshat is usually depicted holding a palm stem, bearing notches to denote the recording of the passage of time, especially for keeping track of the allotment of time for the life of the pharoah. Sheshat was also depicted holding other tools and often holding the knotted cords that were stretched to survey land and structures. Sheshat is frequently shown dressed in a cheetah or leopard hide - a symbol of funerary priests, the pattern on this hide was thought to represent the stars, being a symbol of eternity and association with the night sky and indicating the need to messure celestial objects and their movements in the workings of astrology. As the divine messurer and scribe, Sheshat was believed to appear to assist the pharoah in both these practices. Sheshat was said to assist the pharoah in the “stretching the cord” ritual, a ritual related to laying out the foundations of temples and other important structures in order to determine and assure the sacred alignments and precision of dimensions of the building. The use of hemp ropes for messurement meant that Sheshat was important in surveying the land after the annual floods to reestablish boundary lines. Sheshat’s priestesses were trained in mathmatics and knowledge related to meassurement and often oversaw the work of the builder cults and slaves used in the building process. Sheshat was also depicted with a seven pointed cannabis leaf on her head this is because of the hemp ropes created for meassurement but also relates to ritual uses of the cannabis plant for example a line in the coffin texts reads “Sheshat opens the doors to heaven for you”. Sheshat was thought to be the daughter and consort of Thoth and an aspect of the Goddess Ma’at, this is drawn from the fact that Ma’at as a set of balance scales is a system of messurement requiring calibration, Sheshat is often depicted near the scales of Ma’at as a plum level or as the Merkhet - a cord and plum-level tool used in ancient Egyptian astrology.

Seth: Seth was born of the union of Nut and Geb and was a brother of Osiris, Isis and Nephthys. Nephthys was the consort of Seth but had the child Anubis with Osiris causing a bitter rivalry between Seth and Osiris and it was Seth who cut Osiris into thirteen pieces and scattered them. Seth represented the barren deserts of the red lands of upper Egypt and was said to be infertile after Horus destroyed his testicles in revenge for Seth scratching out Horus’s left eye. Horus and Seth were said to engage in many competitions for the throne of Egypt with Horus ultimately being the victor. Seth was the God of darkness, chaos, the desert, storms, violence and foreigners he was depicted as a man with the head of an unknown animal known as the “Set”/“Seth” animal however in later works he is depicted as a donkey.

As a deity of oils Shezmu was closely linked to the embalming process.

Shu: Shu (depicted third row and left) was the God of the air and consort of his sister Tefnut, the pair were both born of Atum and Iusaaset and spawned the sky Goddess Nut and earth God Geb between them. Shu was charged by Ra to uphold the sky Goddess Nut from her brother Geb forbidding the two from further union after the birth of Osiris, Isis, Seth and Nephthys, in this role as the air upholding the sky Shu became associated with a ladder of ascension or ladder to heaven which would parallel in later Kabbalistic symbologies where the tree of life is refered to as “Jacobs Ladder” alongside other mystical ladders in other traditions with the same meaning of ascension thus Shu was titled “he who rises/raises up”, this is further explained since Shu also embodies the feather of truth of weighing scales of Ma’at which granted ascension to any soul whos Ib (heart) weighed equal or less than the feather. Shu was often depicted upholding the sky or with an ankh and scepter and was seen as a duality in the world because he caused the seperation between Nut and Geb.

Sokar was also depicted standing on the back of a serpent with his wings outstretched in an emblem thought to denote resurrection.

Sopdet: Sopdet is the Goddess of the star Sirius which is the brightest star in the night sky, it also forms part of Orions belt with three other stars that in Egyptian times were thought to be Osiris, Isis and Horus, the pyramids of Giza were aligned with them. Sirius rises in the sky at around the same time that the Nile flooded each year this caused Sopdet to be associated with the fertility that the flooded Nile brings as well as with other deities of the Nile. Sopdet was depicted as a woman holding an ankh with a five-pointed star on her head.

Ta-Bitijet: A scorpion Goddess and aspect of Selket who bore the four sons of Horus from her union with Horus. Ta-Bitijet is the “lady of the menstrual blood” as it was written that when Horus penetrated her hymen the blood that flowed forth was a cure for all poisons, this is likely a metaphore for the ritual use of menstrual blood for healing and in sacred marriage rituals.

Taweret: Taweret (depicted third row and right) was a protective Goddess of childbirth and fertility shown as a bipedal hippopotamus with cat-like claws, large pregnant belly and human breasts.

Werethekau was a Goddess of protection whose image appears on funeral items particularly ivory weapons ment to allow the dead to protect themselves and to assist women in child birth which makes her a greater aspect of Taweret.
