Thoth is the Egyptian god of magic, usually depicted as a man with the head of an ibis or a baboon. Among the Greeks and Romans, Thoth was often equated to Mercury or Hermes. The Order of Hermes maintains that the god Thoth was originally a mortal mage named Djhowtey. Together with his wife Sesheta, also a mage, he traveled to Egypt from Phoenecia circa 2500 BCE. The mystic court they established there taught the earliest identifiable form of Hermetic magic, and founded the earliest Cult of Thoth to carry on their teachings. These organizations are collectively known as the Cult(s) of Thoth. Djhowtey was later deified as Thoth, while Sesheta was deified as Seshat.
