Thoth (𓅝) — Wisdom, Writing, Measurement

Djehuty (Thoth) is the ibis-headed neter of wisdom, inventor of medu neter (hieroglyphs, literally 'words of the gods'), and lord of sacred reckoning. The Book of the Dead depicts him recording the result of the Weighing of the Heart in the Hall of Two Truths, his impartial reed pen determining the fate of each ba. He is the measurer of time who established the calendar, the mediator who settled the Contendings of Horus and Set, and the keeper of the cosmic ledger upon which ma'at depends. The Hermopolitan cosmogony names him as the self-created intellect who spoke the Ogdoad into existence through the power of precise utterance.
