Though transient at first, my tarot reading fruited a tremendous outcome that was better than I could have hoped to interact with. My intent towards the experience was, “tell me a story that portrays my unique karmic and spiritual forces currently.” In short, the cards pulled were: first was The Hanged Man (or The Dying God) of the Water element, second was The Chariot of the Cancer zodiac, third was The Lovers of Gemini, fourth was The Moon of Pisces, and fifth was Adjustment (or Justice) of…

Probably, there was a well-known and successful alchemist, who most likely lived around the time of Moses as this was the earliest mention of him. As his fame rose, probably him and/or his followers might have started associating his name with the God Thoth, giving him a god-like…

where the Memphis Temple was built. Arguably, all the cults believe their temple is where the primeval mound lies.

scripts were hieroglyphics, although there were at least three other scripts used for different purposes. These scripts were kept on papyrus rolls and tomb and temple walls. It is said that a god, Thoth (the god of writing and knowledge) brought the gift of God’s words, (Medu Netjer) to the land of Egypt. Thoth is described as a god “who knows the mysteries, and sets the gods' utterances firm... who proclaims all that is forgotten.” This script is very sacred and was used to record the words and…

The Greek gods are, to an extent, unique amongst the mythologies of ancient civilizations. The Greeks imagined their gods, not greater than them, but the same as them. The same flaws, the same characteristics that made the Greeks human, were present within the gods. But, at the same time, the gods were more than human; they possess supernatural abilities and together have absolute power over the world.

the dead's way. They must be successful to get passed him. There are now the trials of the seven gates and the ten pylons. Next is the ascent of the stairs of justice. Next is the weighing of the heart ceremony. The ceremony is conducted by anubis, thoth and ma’at. The heart is weighed against the feather of truth.
