Thoth

Thoth is a very powerful deity. Ancient even by Egyptian standards, he is the right-hand man of Ra, head of the Egyptian Pantheon, and is renowned the world over as a patron of scholars and wizards. So complete is his mastery of the magickal arts that Thoth is believed to have produced whole other Pagan Gods through his own spellcrafting! 
== Facts: ==
-Thoth's primary temple and place of worship among the ancient Egyptians was in the city of Khmun. To this day, a thriving sect of Witches and various other magick-users maintain secret temples and shrines to Thoth hidden about the city.
-Thoth is pictured with the head of an Iblis, an Egyptian bird associated with mystery. His symbol is the crescent moon.
-Thoth has an important link to the Hermetic Society. The founder of the Society is Hermes Trismegistus, an historical figure many believe to have actually been an Avatar of Thoth. While Hermes was not Thoth per se, Thoth was a patron and mentor to Hermes. Thoth was a hidden force in the birth and development of the Hermetic Society and he continues to watch over these budding Alchemists even into modern times.
-Thoth himself is a Master Alchemist and both he and his closest followers often utilize the very best alchemical materials for their weapons and equipment.
-Thoth is a wisdom figure within the Egyptian Pantheon. Often, his fellow Egyptian gods will seek him out for advice or to help settle a dispute. He is the undisputed right-hand man of Ra, chief of the Egyptian Pantheon. Ra frequently holds private counsel with Thoth, and Thoth is often sent on missions of extreme importance which even the other gods are ignorant of.
-Because of his loyalty to Ra, Thoth is oftentimes dubbed the 'Voice of Ra.' 
-Thoth was also a patron of Imhotep and so he has a history with the early House of Wisdom Chapter.
-Thoth was a committed enemy of Set.  He will rarely if ever accept Fallen Adepts among his followers, and he will often work against any Fallen he catches operating in Egypt.
-Thoth looks favorably on anyone who studies Magick (sans anyone who also follows Set). 
-The Egyptian Book of the Dead, one of Egypt's greatest Relics, is believed to have been penned originally by Thoth himself. 
-While the fist Heru were created by Anubis, Thoth was also involved, having gone to pains to teach the fledgling Egyptian mummies how to wield the fearsome magickal powers of their homeland's heritage!
