Thoth and Seshat, are father/daughter companions from the Egyptian pantheon.
Thoth is the Ibis-headed God of reckoning, wisdom and learning. God of the moon, Thoth is a magician, giver of divine words and spells. It was Thoth who gave Isis the words that resurrected Osiris. Thoth bestows knowledge, law, science, philosophy and writing to humans.
Seshat, Thoth's female counterpart, is a scribe, keeper of books and libraries. She is the Goddess of architecture, astronomy, mathematics and surveying. Seshat's symbol is the seven-pointed emblem above her head. She wears a leopard hide and carries a notched stem that marks the passage of time.
Sacred Union is a work in progress. I hope to publish the deck in 2022.
