How Thoth came to be Hermes Trismegestus

Most of what you’ve probably heard about ancient Egypt comes via Hermeticism — a Greek reimagining of the ancient Egyptian religion, that began in early Alexandria.

Make no mistake this is the viewpoint of a colonizing culture.

While Alexandria may physically have been located in Egypt, it was founded by Greeks, governed by a Greek elite, and used Greek as its dominant literary and scientific language. It had limited continuity with traditional Egyptian priestly networks, many of which had declined by the 2nd century BC during the Late Period.

So while Egypt provided the symbols, myths, and prestige of linking to a great culture of deep antiquity, the actual creators of Hermetic texts were Greek-educated Alexandrians, often philosophical monotheists, Platonists, or Stoics.

In this new syncretic religion, Imhotep, a vizier from the 27th century BC who was later honored as a sage, was elevated to a god, and identified with Asclepius, the Greek god of medicine. And Thoth, the ibis-headed lunar god of scribes, record-keeping and the measurement of time, merged with the Greek god, Hermes, to become Hermes Trismegestus — the intellectual voice of wisdom in the Hermetica.

Only fragments or citations remain of this early Hermetic philosophy — the earliest Greek manuscripts date from the 14th century. A key text of later Hermetic thought, The Emerald Tablet, survived through a 7th century Arabic translation and became foundational for both Islamic alchemy and European esotericism.

Over the centuries, the Hermetic tradition was a dynamic cultural sponge, absorbing and reshaping ideas across Gnostic, Kabbalistic, Islamic, and Neoplatonic thought.

During the Renaissance revival of the Corpus Hermeticum, Hermes Trismegistus also acquired a face, inspired as much by biblical prophets as by Egyptian priests — bearded, crowned and holding a scroll or tablet.

I have been on a quest to track down Imhotep.

Imhotep lived in the 27th century BC and is universally believed to be the architect of the first pyramid, the step pyramid of Djoser at Saqqara, and the author of the Edwin Smith medical papyrus. He is even credited with founding the world’s first medical school at Memphis and given the title Father of Medicine. But oddly enough, there is no definitive evidence of any of this in the historical record.

His name appears only twice in relation to his historicity — 1) as an inscription at the base of one of Djoser’s statues that names him the sealbearer of the King of Upper and Lower Egypt and 2) as graffiti on the unfinished step pyramid of Djoser’s successor Sekhemkhet, associating him with its construction.

Yet, he re-emerges 1200 years after his death on a list of sages in the New Kingdom, becoming a cult figure by the Late Period. Titles attributed to him such as chief lector priest, builder of temples, chief sculptor and architect, and scribe of the gods did not appear until the Famine Stela (ca. 3rd–2nd century BC) or later. The historian Manetho described him as “the inventor of stone buildings.” Healing temples dedicated to him were erected at Memphis and at Philae where he was deified as a god of medicine and the son of Ptah. In Ptolemaic times he was identified with the Greek god of medicine, Asclepius.

And by the Middle Ages the cult image of him seated with an opened scroll on his knees had become the basis for future representations of Hermes Trismegestus — a Greek reimagining of the Egyptian god Thoth.

But nowhere in any historical sources prior to the enthusiasm of 19th century archeologists is he mentioned as the architect of Djoser’s pyramid at Saqqara!

For structures of such grandeur and antiquity it is unsurprising that legends would abound about their origin and construction.

While the ancient Egyptians kept meticulous records, the language of hieroglyphics was lost around 400AD and wasn’t recovered until the 1800s, following the discovery of the Rosetta stone in 1799. In the meantime, legends flourished.

In my last post I told you about the medieval legend of the ancient King Surid and the knowledge of past and future, medicine and astronomy, that he had stowed away within the pyramids to protect them from the coming flood.

Interestingly, the idea of a Hall of Records resurfaced in modern times when Edgar Cayce delivered a set of readings in 1933 where he spoke of a library that may be accessed from beneath the right paw of the Sphinx — where the knowledge, history, and prophecies of Atlantis have been stored and sealed.

Cayce wasn’t the first to connect Egypt with Atlantis.

In 1882, an American congressman and amateur historian by the name of Ian Donnelly published a book titled, “Atlantis: The Antediluvian World” where he made the case that Atlanteans influenced ancient Egypt, Mesoamerica, and other civilizations.

Donnelly’s ideas were picked up and expanded upon by Helena Blavatsky, the founder of Theosophy, who went further to say that “Thoth-Hermes was the first Atlantean Initiate…” (The Secret Doctrine, 1888) and that the pyramids and temples of Egypt preserve “Atlantean initiatic knowledge.”

And in 1930, Maurice Doreal, an occultist and founder of the Brotherhood of the White Temple, produced a channeled work titled “The Emerald Tablets of Thoth the Atlantean” (1930) where he seemed to imply that Thoth built the Great Pyramid as an access point to the Halls of Amenti — described as an interdimensional vault of knowledge and wisdom, as well as a gateway for initiation, rebirth, and immortality.

I don’t believe legends are created in a vacuum. Certainly there is something unusual in Egypt that I myself have experienced personally as have many others.

Stay tuned for part three as I dive even deeper into the myths and evidence surrounding the mysteries of the pyramids.

In the Middle Ages, many believed that the Pyramids of Giza predated the biblical flood.

One medieval Islamic legend tells of a king called Surid ibn Salhouk who had a terrifying dream about the coming deluge. “Then he commanded that Pyramids should be built, that they might remove and secure in them what was of most esteem in their Treasuries, with the bodies of their Kings and their Wealth, and the Aromatick Roots which served them; and that they should write their wisdom upon them, that the violence of the Water might not destroy it.” [From a 17th century French translation of a 12th century work by Al-Murtadi].

Al-Maqrizi (in the 14th century) further wrote that Surid had his astrologers place within the Great Pyramid“the books that concerned the table of the fixed stars and the table of their revolution in the course of time, the list of events of past eras under their influence, and when they must be examined to know the future of everything about Egypt until the end of time.”

Thus began the legend of an ancient archive of antediluvian secrets that dates the Pyramids to a time before the flood.

The Egyptian gods' family tree

The Egyptian pantheon is rich with deities (called neteru) each embodying different aspects of life, nature, and the cosmic order.

The family tree shown below illustrates this fascinating tapestry of relationships and the regional worship that reflects the rich cultural diversity of ancient Egypt.

☀️The Heliopolis Ennead

At the heart of this pantheon is the Heliopolis Ennead, a group of nine deities central to the mythology of Heliopolis, one of the most important religious centers in ancient Egypt, once located in the northeastern part of modern day Cairo.

Within the Heliopolis Ennead, the sun god Ra held a paramount position. Over time, Ra was assimilated into other gods' identities, like Atum (Ra as the evening sun) and Khepri (the scarab-headed god who represented Ra as the morning sun), reflecting the cyclical nature of the sun and its significance in Egyptian life.

According to myth, Ra brought forth the first divine couple, Shu (god of air) and Tefnut (goddess of moisture). Shu and Tefnut gave birth to Geb (god of the earth) and Nut (goddess of the sky). Geb and Nut, in turn, were the parents of Osiris (god of the afterlife), Isis (goddess of magic and motherhood), Seth (god of chaos), and Nephthys (goddess of childbirth and funerals).

These nine deities were central to the cosmology of Heliopolis and were worshipped as the primary gods who controlled the order of the universe.

Other regional pantheons

Different regions of Egypt emphasized different gods, highlighting the diversity of religious practices across the country.

🏛️ Thebes (modern-day Luxor): In Thebes, Amun was worshipped as the supreme god. He was later merged with Ra during the New Kingdom to become Amun-Ra, the king of the gods. His wife, Mut, and their son, Khonsu (the moon god), formed the Theban Triad, which was central to the religious life of Upper Egypt .

🏛️ Memphis (15 miles south of Cairo): The Memphite Triad consisted of Ptah (the self-created creator god of craftsmanship), his wife Sekhmet (goddess of war and protection), and their son Nefertem (god of beauty and healing). Memphis was the oldest and most important city in Lower Egypt, and its gods were highly revered.

🏛️ Elephantine (near Aswan): The southern region of Elephantine focused on the worship of Khnum, the ram-headed god who was believed to control the waters of the Nile and the fertility of the land. Satet and Anuket, goddesses associated with the Nile and its inundation, were also central to Elephantine's religious practices.

Other important deities

🦅 Horus, the falcon-headed god, son of Isis and Osiris, was central to Egyptian kingship and mythology, representing the sky and protection, and was closely linked to the pharaoh's divine authority. Along with Horus, Thoth, the god of knowledge, Anubis, the god of mummification, and Hathor, the goddess of love and joy, were worshipped throughout Egypt and had connections to various other gods in the family tree.

🪶 Maat, the goddess of truth and cosmic order, played a crucial role in both societal ethics and the afterlife. Maat's principles were central to Egyptian governance and religious practices, with her feather symbolizing the standard of truth in the judgment of souls.

🐍 Wadjet and Nekhbet were symbolic protectors of Lower and Upper Egypt, respectively, with Wadjet represented as a cobra and Nekhbet as a vulture. Together, they symbolized the unified rule of Egypt.

🐈‍⬛ Bastet, the cat goddess, was originally an aspect of Sekhmet representing the nurturing protector of the home. Later she took on separate significance as a goddess in her own right.

🐊 Sobek, the crocodile-headed god, was associated with the Nile and military strength.

🌾 Hapy was the god of the Nile's flooding, vital for Egypt's agricultural prosperity.

⛑️ Imhotep, originally a historical figure, was deified as the god of medicine and wisdom due to his architectural genius and reputation as a healer.

These are just a handful of examples from the vast ancient Egyptian pantheon that illustrate the multifaceted and complex nature of the Egyptian belief system, where the neteru influenced every aspect of life and the universe, and where local customs and beliefs shaped the worship of gods who, though part of a larger pantheon, were also deeply tied to specific locations and traditions.

Egyptomania
and a brief history of the Western search for ancient secret knowledge

From the Isis temples of ancient Rome to the Palmolive ads in the 1920s, to the construction of the Louvre in 1987, the European fascination with ancient Egypt is almost as old as European civilization itself.

Ancient Egypt was already ancient to the Greeks who ruled Egypt from 332-30BCE. In fact, the Middle Kingdom of Egypt was as ancient to Cleopatra as she is to us today; the Old Kingdom, even older.

What we knew of Egyptian culture was initially transmitted to Roman and post-Roman era Europeans through the lens of Hellenistic conceptions of it, until the decipherment of Egyptian hieroglyphics by Jean-François Champollion in the 1820s rendered Egyptian texts legible, finally enabling an understanding of Egypt as the Egyptians themselves understood it.

Meanwhile, numerous western esoteric traditions and mystery schools derived inspiration from Hermeticism, an Egyptian Hellenistic school of thought that takes its name from the legendary Egyptian wise man, Hermes Trismegistus. The body of work called the Hermetica, attributed to Hermes Trismegistus (who is identified with the Greek god Hermes and the Egyptian god Thoth) was produced over a period spanning many centuries (c. 300 BCE – 1200 CE) and includes the Corpus Hermeticum, Asclepius, and The Discourse on the Eighth and Ninth from the 2nd and 3rd centuries, as well as The Emerald Tablet, a compact and cryptic text that was a highly regarded foundational text for many Islamic and European alchemists. The text of the Emerald Tablet first appeared in a number of early medieval Arabic sources, the oldest of which dates to the late eighth or early ninth century. It was translated into Latin several times in the twelfth and thirteenth centuries.

The 17th and 18th century saw the development of esoteric initiatory societies such as Rosicrucianism and Freemasonry, while the 19th century saw the emergence of what is now known as occultism. Significant groups in this century included the Societas Rosicruciana in Anglia, the Theosophical Society, and the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn. Rudolf Steiner further incorporated Christian Gnosticism into these ideas under the umbrella of Anthroposophy. Modern paganism developed within occultism and includes religious movements such as Thelema (founded by Alistair Crowley in the early 1900s) and Wicca (popularized by Gerald Gardner in the 1960s). Esoteric ideas permeated the counterculture of the 1960s, now influenced by the Yoga and Vedanta philosophies brought over by gurus from India, which eventually led to the New Age phenomenon of the 1970s onwards.

The Egyptian activations continue.

This is the Temple of Dendur at the Met in New York City. It was transported here all the way from Egypt in 1978. It was the other Isis temple in the Aswan region to be rescued from being submerged by the rising waters of Lake Nasser due to the construction of the Aswan High Dam.

This scene literally took my breath away.

The activations I received in Egypt have opened a portal to a continuous stream of transmissions that continue to nourish and upgrade me. This trip to the Met was no exception. When we arrived, a crowd was gathered to observe… get this… a FALCON perched outside the building. Horus himself was there to greet us. What could be more perfect?

I’m beyond thrilled to offer you a taste of these energetics in a course I’ll be teaching in August. You can learn more about it here: https://deepfieldhealing.com/certification-course-in-egyptian-alchemy/
