Thoth
the ibis-scribe of moon and measure
airThoth invented writing and keeps the record of all things spoken and weighed; to dream of him is to feel that somewhere your true name is written down correctly, and that reckoning need not be feared by the honest.
Fragments
When the moon was won and lost in a game of draughts, he wagered light itself and added five stolen days to the year so a goddess might give birth.
He stands beside the scales in the hall of judgment, brush poised, and sets down the verdict of each heart in ink that no god may afterward erase.
