Thoth seems to be a god of higher level human things; time, language, religion, etc, as opposed to elements or more natural things like fire or death. One of the most interesting gods I've heard of.

My mom used to have a tote bag with Thoth on it. She used it to carry groceries home, deliver old clothes to the Goodwill, and bring snacks along for the family, which she served out with grace and wisdom She called it her Thoth bag

This was a very Thothful video!

"Better is your profession than all professions. It makes men great." You're doing Thoth's work, Dr. Sledge. Thank you so much.

I do appreciate your subtle, dry sense of humor.

I remember when I was really young I picked up Age of Mythology and started spamming Egypt and I would sometimes pick Thoth as my Mythical-tier god to worship because he had the meteor power and phoenixes. nearly 20 years later here I am watching an Esoterica episode all about him. Life's a wild ride, my guys.

My Godfather and Friend is a long time "student" of Thoth/Hermes. He stands centre on our Altar in the Main Room in our house. He even placed a pocket version of The Art Of War on it (my friend is an ex Army Officer, and as such holds a personal synergistic view of Esoterica and Martial school of Knowledge) An excellent video as always.

Lets be honest, we are all impressed how he said Thoth in all the different dialectic ways 😅

That break in the middle there about killed me! 😂 Thanks for helping antidote the poisonous nonsense from my mind. I appreciate the way you explain things and your analogies. I find it very easy to understand. The mark of a great teacher, imho.

Thoth is my patron. So excited for this video. He's such an important part of the pantheon, yet, there's relatively few myths centered around him.

Thank you for this episode. It was Thothful of you to do it.

Thoth was a CEO (Chief Everything Officer) of a computing company, like Apple, Microsoft, or Intel. He designed the hardware, softwares, programming languages, operating system, and all.

Excellent video Dr Sledge. I've been studying all aspects of ancient Egypt for over 40 years now and it's just wonderful to hear someone pronounce the words Djehuty, ogdoad and hekka. I can't add anything to your scholarly presentation here except the theory that I once read that the early ancient Egyptians may have noticed the marks that the ibis makes in the mud with its bill as it forages for food - suggesting writing. Please consider doing a video on The Book of Coming Forth by Day. btw I'm convinced now that you're a fellow metalhead. Cheers from South Australia.

Thoth would totally make an epic name for a power metal band... or perhaps Egyptian glory metal?

Mah boi Thoth! Let's go! Absolutely love this video, such a wealth of information. Thank you so much for this. Of all the gods that humanity has presented, Dhwtj is one of the few that I would absolutely be okay with existing. His whole domain of truth, knowledge, and wisdom is quite admirable for humanity. His mercy as a defense attorney when called on yet also his impartiality to be a judge is wonderful. There is an audiobook on Tehuti by Markus Carabas on Audible that I've listened to that seemed to be quite good. Keep on sharing the knowledge, Dr. Sledge. You're doing The Silver Sun's work.

Thoth is my favorite ancient god. This video is a treasure.

😂😂😂 Your dry sense of humour half-way through was very much appreciated! The acting world has lost a star, it truly has. (And thank you for another informative video too!)

Love this! I hope you do more on Egytian Gods especially Ra and His multiple forms and aspects. I would love to hear on Osiris and Anubis as well!

excellent post sir, i am a british occultist, and have studied it for 30 yrs. i had a vision of Thoth when i was in hospital a few years ago, i was passing in and out of consciousness due to serotonin syndrome caused by running out of my trazodone (anti depressant) he took me above the earth and whispered universal secrets in my ear, his armour shone in colours we dont have on earth. peace love and light to all. 93,93/93

At around 18 minutes I genuinely thought Dr Sledge had just ended the channel out of despair for a second

Thank you Dr. Justin, I thoroughly enjoyed this episode of esoterica,how you cram so much information into your presentation without it just becoming a long list of facts is nothing short of astounding,being educated while simultaneously being entertained wins my admiration and appreciation,thank you very very much🙏🏻🥷❤️

I never Thoth you'd make a video about this!

Thoth is a main homie. This video has been very enlightening. Thank you for your service.

This was an awesome video. I'm surprised there isn't more on Thoth specifically as opposed to his later Greco-Egyptian forms. When I checked the citations of Boylan's book on Google Scholar, I mostly got stuff on Hermes. Weirdly, the top result was Martin Bernal's book, which I'd love to see you cover one day. Maybe that's beyond the scope of this channel, but your nuanced approach to topics like that would be very welcome. Thanks for this awesome video!

Thanks for your dedication and generosity , Thoth is so present in this days, is like humanity needs his inspiration back...

Obscure mythology AND linguistics...sploosh! For real, another great video, Thanks!

Thanks!

Every bone in my body would be happy if you did an analysis on Apep/Apophis of Egyptian mythology. Seeing your level of analysis on such a diverse and ancient figure would be fascinating.

Another great video! I feel like it would be easier to forgive the 20th century channellers if it seemed like they had done a little more homework and reading beforehand (or sometimes any at all).

I’m glad you decided to do this! With all of the egyptomania penetrating the modem occult traditions, it’s hard to know just what the ancients believed for a layman like myself

Thoth, also known as Lord Soth’s younger brother. (Parents were an unimaginative lot. Aoth, Both, Coth, …Roth, Soth, Thoth [they stuttered when they gave him his name])😂😂😂

“Thoth… the Atlantean… >sigh

Truly excellent video as always, Dr. Sledge. Invaluable material for all Kemetic reconstructionists and modern followers of Thoth.

Absolutely love this 💚 Praised be the blessed birb!!!

My jaw actually dropped when I saw this video. Even my mother was worried if something happened, haha! You're talking about my favourite mythological god Thoth! So cool!

This video reminds me that gods are changed to fit their worshippers' needs, always and forever. Thank you again, Dr. Sledge

Perfect overview of Thoth, thanks for explaining how important he is

18:23 - After having finished watching Miniminuteman's multi-episode debunking of that netflix series and getting recommended pretty awful 'alternative histories' on youtube shorts all the time, this pause hit pretty hard for me. It's particularly depressing when you think about how the prevalence of those shorts and the existence of that netflix series are all predicated on the fact that these 'alternative facts' will always sell and some people (clearly not everyone thankfully) are more interested in making a quick buck than presenting good or reliable information. I bet half of the people peddling that stuff don't even believe it but are still disseminating that info because they gotta find some way to keep the lights on. I speak from some personal experience; I was once hired as a proofreader and corrected a bunch of scripts covering these kinds of topics. I did it. I'm not proud of it. I don't believe a word of it. I didn't like it. I felt _stupider_ for having done it. And have avoided taking jobs like it ever since. I'm personally very sorry for having contributed for the dissemination of what's basically problematic fan-fiction and hoaxes and that's why I find it doubly important that I study stuff like this and whatever you, miniminuteman, RfB, PBS Eons, and more, have to say about the story of life, humanity, philosophy, and religion. That's why we need people like you, Doc. And why I deeply appreciate the existence of your channel and the coverage you give on these topics. Be all like 'Carry the light of knowledge as your torch and burn away the darkness of ignorance.' or what have you. Carry on, Doc Sledge, you're fighting that good fight and I'm rooting for you.

Fascinating video

Just want to say that the Emerald Tablets is the most excellent wisdom text I have ever read. Doesn't matter that it is not written on a wall in Egypt. And just have to say that all sacred texts are "channeled". And, just have to say, glad I found your channel.

I once received an astrological card that had mine as mine (Virgo) Sept. 15 as Ma'at. I just came across this channel. It's very interesting. I study mythology and have a degree in Philosophy from Utah as well as a Teaching degree (M. Ed.) in Special Education, Teacher of Deaf and Hearing impaired. Now retired, I have returned to my research and writing project on Comparative Images of the Goddess in religion and mythology. I hope to complete a book in this lifetime. At this time I am finishing up my project on Indian (Indus Valley) mythology. Thank you for your work and offering of esoteric knowledge on this channel. When I am able, I will send some financial support. very truly, Staci

I first read the Chapters of coming Forth by Day at age 10yrs old. The Pert em Rhu remains a timeless Spellbook, the so-called 42 Negative Confessions in {Ma'at} is that they are really Purifications. 🌞Hekau🌜 APPRECIATE the fact that you emphasized staying as much as possible to the original source material, of paramount importance !! T.Y...

I just wanted to say thank you for sharing this information and explaining the various etymological, symbology origins of information. Presented in this way, one can actually digest it without a bad case of indigestion, so to speak.

Oh, man, you open with a great review of the pronunciation of his name, which is exactly where my brain went as you were rolling through the introductory overview. Respect, mood-kindred.

SO EXCITED TO WATCH THIS!!! Just when I thought this Friday couldn't get any better!! 🎉

Congratulations, Doctor. I love how the subject matter of your channel has been expanding. More please!

The number of parallels between Thoth and Christ are astounding. Law giver, judge, redeemer, the Word, etc.

Emerald tablets of Thoth are a spit in the face to those that truly seek knowledge of the ancients. Thank you for being a voice of truth, reason, and historical fact. This channel is an absolute gem .

Been waiting for this video since you announced it. Love learning about Thoth.

What a phenomenal episode, thank you Dr. Sledge for truly bringing the hammer on this one :) Surely this analysis will be written in the akashic records of Thoth the Atlantean!😬

Really brilliant video. I went to the BM* several months back for their special exhibition on Egyptian hieroglyphs and having watched your videos really appreciated how much they gave me another richness in looking at the amazing collection of artefacts and manuscripts they've gathered for it. One that stood out to me at the time that I'm sure I would have looked right past is a little leaf from the Bodleian [MS Arab. d. 221 fols 48b and 49a] that has two great little illustrations of what I think must be Thoth/Hermes Trismegistus as he has a bird head. Which made me more interested in Thoth and... here we are again! Thanks for your work - I really appreciate your rigorous approach to such a massive subject, and the jokes for a bit of leaven. *Yeah. I know. I ordinarily boycott it. I did feel guilty. But didn't stop me enjoying the hell out of the exhibition.

I absolutely LOVE your merch!! Thank you!!!

Profound content as always. Thank you Dr. sledge!

Well done my man. It's appreciated.

Absolutely awesome content as always! Thank you kindly Sir 🙏

Another year is added onto my life every time another Book of the Dead is discovered

The pause to cry in utter nonsense😭 you always make us LOL😂🙏🏼👁

This is really fascinating and well-presented. 🙏

Always right on time when needed

You are so calm and didactic. I love watching your videos!

Great presentation! Thanks as always for further reading recommendations

Best channel on YT right here folks. Let's do this oh yeah!!!

I love this channel so much. These videos are so well written, well presented, and well produced. And the thoroughness and commitment to veracity is the stuff younger me could only dream of

I find your analysis in your field to be about the best out there on KZfaq. I've tried to watch some of the folks you recommended but I prefer your channel. I really appreciate your book recommendations. I always encourage folks who are interested in esoteric studies to watch your channel.

Will be including you in my special thanks section in the book!

Thank you, Dr. Sledge!! Interesting parallels between Thoth and later, Hermes, in that Thoth was basically lord of the underworld (oversaw the rules) and later Hermes would be the only Greek god allowed to enter Hades and return!? Also, Hermes was the most approachable of the greek gods in how frequently he interacted with humans (becoming a mediator/messenger). Thoth had his Ankh and staff and Hermes had his caduceus staff (re-embodiment of Thoth??), with both introducing highest level spiritual knowledge/teachings. Awesome work, as usual!!

One of my favorites yet, well done Dr.!

I really like these deep dives into the characters of mythology especially when you acknowledge the more fanciful writings :D which I feel lend even more credibility to your scholarly efforts. Thank you.

Can you do a video on the symbolism of the ankh and related egyptian spiritual or magical objects and their meaning? Would be so nice

Thank you for doing a video on Thoth!

Thank you for this video. It was very insightful!

Long time listener, first time commenter. I especially loved this video Dr. Sledge! I appreciate the time spent on the pronunciation, which has always been mysterious to me, as well as the survey of mythology and symbolism associated with this mysterious and wonderful deity. Thank you so much for your academic prowess and clear, interesting, and insightful explanation!

Awesome. Thank you!

Good video, thanks!

This was an incredible video! Thank you!

Thank you once again, so much information so engagingly relayed

Thanks for another interesting and educational video. To me, it is interesting how many of the ideas you speak about in your videos still permeate our world and our culture. Read about the subjects you present but the people who write about them only skim the knowledge you present.

Appreciate ur channel ❤️

I love your scholarly skepticism. It's refreshing, and always gives a good giggle.

This was an incredible presentation.

Ayyyye I love my new shirt! 🎉 Been summoning demons to help me finish my capstone art exhibition

Thank you for doing this. I delayed and delayed my usual ravenous consumption of your most recent episode because I wanted to savor its mere existence, not wishing to pass into "having been viewed." Dejuhti be praised, the content satisfied and reawakened my admiration for both yourself, and the god/concept of Thoth. I saw in your recommendation for further reading "Egyptian Hermes", I highly agree! I'll be purchasing the shirt, and will wear it as I work on a dark wave song, "Cosmic Egg in the Lake of Fire." Question, if "Heka" is loosely "magic," is "Hp" then a "Spell?" Because, that'd be....hip.

So fun! I love this so much. Thank you!

I've been subscribed for a long time, did so because of the titles of your videos but I haven't watched your content until now, I enjoy the history of Thoth and I enjoyed your subtle humor sir, I'm looking forward to watching more of your videos.

Thank You Dr. Sledge for your amazing Channel and Scholarly documentaries. I have been watching them for several months now, and you are one of the most enjoyable educators on this topic on KZfaq. I feel I can also speak in a more educated manner on these topics as a result of your high regard for historical and anthropological accuracy. I just bought one of your Thoth shirts to support your Channel. Shana Tovah and Blessings for the New Year.

I effing love your work! When I can, I'll give to your patreon. I've always loved Classics. Are you hiring?

Once again, thanks very much for your work, sir! Lovely episode.

I love this information! Thank you so much for sharing! ♥

Doctor sledge "the Hebrew hammer" taking us to school on the weekend. Does anyone remember that movie on comedy central? " shabbat shalom mfers" 😂

As a student of the occult, Thoth was always one of my favorite deities from across all patheons. The progenator of knowledge, magic, and much of the lore of western religion. Plus he looks badass. I have a special place for him and Ma'at in my novel series. :)

Thank you for the suggested reading! Finding good books on the subject recommended by scholars I trust makes learning easier!

Excellent teaching. Thank you for this wonderful introduction.

Fricative. That was worth the watch. I ❤this channel so much

Fantastic video Dr. Sledge! A question, since I’ve been debating on it for a while: the collected volume of the Nag Hammadi Library, specifically the most recent volume, is it accurate for lay reading? I know many people criticize it for being “too translated” or more precisely “sanitized”. Is that true in your mind or over blow? I just want to clear that up before I buy it.

EPIC video sir! Thanks

Your videos are very well made and the content very reach on info. Plus the dinamic delivery keeps me alert trying not to miss anything. Congratulations.

Realmente aprecio mucho tu trabajo, para mi son perlas preciosas que veo y guardo con mucho amor

Thoth is hands down and pens down (quote me) my favorite Egyptian god. Djehuty is another name for him, and I thought the spelling of that sounded kind of like how that name is spelled? Idk, my source is the vibe basically. I’ve been aware of Thoth for at least 8 years now, so many facets to him. Thank you for this video! It is super weird (but probably fittingly mysterious) that there isn’t more written on The Literal Scribe. Of like, The Universe. truly strange. Maybe now in this age people will write about him…

I love how you tell this story. Thank you. Your facial expression is impeccable! Love to be learning this way. ❤
