Feast of the New Moon
Thoth 𓁟
is the God of the Moon, keeper of records and time, God of mathematics, magic, medicine, astronomy, writing, architecture, science, geometry and wisdom- teacher of teachers.
Feast of Psedje(n)tyu - Feast of the New Moon - Thoth is the God of the Feast
As our modern day calendar is a derivative of the calendar from the ancient world, you could say that Thoth is still working with us through our sacred holidays, as keeper of time. And so, under this ethereal Pisces New Moon, let’s explore some of the miraculous mysteries of this very ancient and multi-encompassing Moon God.

Thoth’s Egyptian name was Djehuty
HE WHO IS LIKE THE IBIS 𓅡
"I am Djehuty the skilled scribe whose hands are pure, a possessor of purity, Who drives away evil, Who writes what is true, Who detests falsehood, Whose pen defends the Lord of all; master of laws Who interprets writings, Whose words establish the Two lands.
"I am the Lord of Justice, One truly precise to the Gods, Who judges a matter so that it may come into being; Who vindicates him whose voice is hushed; Who dispels darkness and clears away the storm. I have given sweet breath of the north wind to Wesir as when He went forth from the womb of Her Who bore Him."
"I am Djehuty, the favored of Ra; Lord of strength Who enables Him Who made Him; great of magic in the Bark of Millions of Years; master of laws who makes the Two Lands content; Whose power protects Her Who bore Him; Who gets rid of noise and quells uproar; Who does what Ra in His shrine approves."
~quotes selected by Djehutymose from The Papyrus of Ani, translated by Dr. Raymond O. Faulkner

The Emerald Tablets state that he is from the Atlantean epoch and passed down the cultivated wisdom to the dynastic Egyptians which attests for their sudden full language appearing from nowhere in the anthropological sense.
Thoth brought me into the Egyptian Mysteries in 2001, and continues to be a guide to this day, having brought teacher after teacher into my life that are aligned with his attributes. He states in the Emerald Tablets that we must not keep wisdom only for ourselves, it must be shared.

I love sharing so much of what has been valuable and life-transforming from my ‘Thoth’ teachers, with my Son, in my sacred journeys in Egypt and with the 2 amazing cohorts of students in our online mystery school, MA’AT.
Some exciting news is that I am building a store on my website with my wonderful assistant Paulina, and will have downloadable bundles available for purchase for those of you who want to experience Neteru embodiment and learn some powerful, ancient practices that are deeply beneficial for today’s world.
I’m looking forward to sharing these wisdom bundles with you all very soon, and am wishing you a beautiful New Moon journey through the Piscean depths.
