Tota

Imagine him as * Thoth *, one of the greatest gods of the Egyptian pantheon, the lord of wisdom, writing, and moonlight.

He appears in the majestic guise of a man with the head of an ibis, crowned with the double crown of Upper and Lower Egypt. In his hands he holds* an ankh , the sign of life, and a staff *, a symbol of power and patronage. His gaze is penetrating, as if penetrating the hidden secrets of the universe, and his movements are filled with the leisurely wisdom of millennia.

• Sphere of dominion: *

• knowledge and writing - he gave people hieroglyphs, taught them to record thoughts and events; *magic and secret sciences - under his patronage, the hidden laws of existence are revealed;

• the moon and time - he regulates the phases of the night light and keeps track of days, months, and years; *judgment and justice - he is an impartial witness at the afterlife, recording every word of the soul.

• Mythical deeds: *

• created the world with a word - his speech has creative power; invented the calendar - organized the flow of time for the benefit of people; compiled sacred books - the keeper of knowledge recorded on the papyri of eternity; *maintained the balance between day and night - the keeper of the balance of the cosmos.

• Sacred symbols: *

• ibis - the bird of wisdom and foresight; *baboon - the embodiment of lunar nature and intelligence;

• writing instruments - a palette and a reed stick; *the moon is a silver disk that illuminates the night.

In the heavenly boat of Ra, he stands next to the goddess Maat, holding the scribe's tools in his hands -* the keeper of truth, the measurer of hearts, the lord of words on which the fate of the world depends *.
