THOTH
"Thoth" (aka "Hermes", "Mercury") is actually the root of our word "thought" and has to do with the principle of mind. Thoth was regarded as The Egyptian God of Magic and great author of sacred writings, more than 40,000 volumes.
Magic was common part of every day life in the ancient world.
According to legend, Thoth predicted the coming of Christ in 13,000 BC.
Study of the remnants of the native religious literature of ancient Egypt, which have come down to us, has revealed the fact that the belief in magic, that is to say, in the power of magical names, and spells, and enchantments, and formulae, and pictures, and figures, and amulets, and in the performance of ceremonies accompanied by the utterance of words of power, to produce supernatural results, formed
a large and important part of The Egyptian religion.
And it is certain that, notwithstanding the continuous progress which The Egyptians made in civilization, and the high intellectual development to which they eventually attained,
this belief influenced their minds and, from the earliest to the latest period of their history, shaped their views concerning things temporal, as well as spiritual in a manner which, at this stage in the history of the world, is very difficult to understand."
