2433 Thoth ENT_EGY_THOTH patron_of Ogdoad ENT_EGY_OGDOAD medium Thoth is the patron deity of Hermopolis Magna (khmun, the City of the Eight), the city whose name, cosmological identity, and central religious system are the Ogdoad. The Hermopolitan tradition in some versions makes Thoth the active creative agent who gives voice to the Ogdoad's latent primordial forces — he is the divine Logos/Word who speaks the creator into existence from the primordial waters stirred by the Ogdoad. In one version of the Hermopolitan creation narrative, it is Thoth (in his form as the ibis or the sacred baboon) who lays the primordial cosmic egg from which the creator (Ra-Atum or Thoth himself) hatches at the first sunrise. The relationship between Thoth and the Ogdoad is thus that of creative mediator/patron to the primordial forces he organizes and articulates. Confidence medium: the specific tradition varies — in some versions Thoth creates through the Ogdoad; in others the Ogdoad creates independently and Thoth is simply their city's patron; in yet others Thoth is identified with the Ogdoad's collective wisdom.
