Thoth [1], also translated as Thoth or Tut, is the god of wisdom and the moon, the local god of Heliopolis, the inventor of words, and the document of gods, which is described as a standing judge in the "Book of the Dead".
Tote is usually depicted as a person with the head of a heron. Its name means a curved mouth, which is reminiscent of the crescent moon.
Sometimes, Tochi is also depicted as a baboon with a crescent moon, because baboons are active at night and very smart.
Ralph Ellis, an American writer, believes that because of the exclusiveness of the Tort faith, the Tort faith is actually the source of Abraham's religions, but this explanation is still questionable.
He is the god of wisdom and learning in Egyptian mythology. He and his wife had ten children, the most famous of whom was Amun. Thoth is described as a human figure with the head of a ibis or a baboon, implying thought and reason. He kept a pen book in his hand to record things.
The Egyptians believed that the god Thoth invented writing, and believed that he was a writer of Hades, and that he completed the book of death. It is also widely believed that he invented the miraculous magic of isolation from the outside world. Thoth can appear on all major occasions, but he usually appears in the judgment of the dead. At the time of judgment, Toto God appeared in the shape of a kobold ape. He sat on the top of the balance and weighed the dead man's heart with the balance to determine whether the dead man was bright and upright.

Constellation myth: Thoth, which appears in the image of a bird, represents intelligence, art, advice and magic things
When the soul is judged and reviewed, Thoth will give advice. Because Thoth will record the karmic records of each person from generation to generation, it can help people to transcend their own desires and challenges through the subject of life. Thoth, who is familiar with magic, was later created in the name of Thoth Tarot by Keluoli, an astrologer who advocates ritual and magic. Personality: you born under the constellation of Thoth, He is a wise man. He is not afraid of challenges, and sometimes even yearns for different experiences. Because of his strong subjective consciousness, he may look down on ordinary people, and is naturally interested in astronomy, therapy, and magic.
The comprehensive revival of paganism and related knowledge is an important symbol of cultural changes in the western society in the late 20th century. Believers of the so-called "new era" in the Pisces era (the first year of A.D. - 2000), which replaced Christian rule with the Age of Aquarius, have won an extraordinary development opportunity at the end of the century in Europe and America. With the help of modern means of communication such as printing, film and television, music and literature, the New Age Movement has now been widely spread to civil society, and has had a huge impact on culture, politics, economy and fashion. In terms of comprehensively breaking the shackles of the orthodox Christian theology and reviving the pagan concepts and knowledge systems that have been suppressed and ignored for a long time in history, the belief of people in the new era has gradually taken root in the hearts of the people, and has aroused great resonance among people who rebel against capitalism and modern lifestyles. The "pagan concept and knowledge system" outside the church that believers in the new era admire mainly includes witchcraft magic, primitive belief represented by Shamanism and physical and mental therapy, goddess worship and nature worship, astrology, alchemy and other quasi religious and quasi scientific practices. How these heretical knowledge became popular at the turn of the century can be seen from the best-selling representative works of new era literature, such as the Harry Potter series (witchcraft magic), the anthropological novel series of Castanida (new shamanism), and the Da Vinci Code (goddess worship), which ranked among the best sellers in 2003.
"The mystery of Nicolas" is known as "the most famous mystery in European history". Apart from all kinds of mysterious factors and suspense narrative colors, Nicholas played an unusual role in the history of knowledge inheritance of western alchemy. Nicholas's Will highlights his historical role in a fascinating way, shaping him into a secret descendant of thousands of people yearning for and fascinating wonderful knowledge. This brings a certain nature of solving puzzles to the narration of this book, and becomes a magnet to attract reading interest. Such a writing method of exploring the knowledge of heresy can be said to have the same effect as the super best-selling books of the new era literature, "Celestine Prophecy" and "The Da Vinci Code". The story of the hero in Nicholas's Will is between history and legend. The relationship between alchemy and writing in the book is worth noting. According to the concept of new historicism, which matured in the late 20th century, there is no essential difference between historical narrative and fiction narrative. In our era of so-called "civilized society", the most effective and simple way to make things that are unnecessary become authentic is to write them down!
As a mysterious knowledge, why and how did alchemy enter the life of Nicola, a medieval scribe? Another way of asking: Why did he become a scribe in Paris, the bearer and disseminator of the mysterious alchemy knowledge in the Middle Ages?
If we adopt the view of the archetypal critic Frye, it is literature that produces literature - the sacred narrative that has existed before will produce the narrative of future generations. The narrative prototype of the New Testament is the Old Testament; Jesus in the Gospels of the New Testament is named after Joshua in the Old Testament. According to such a systematic analysis mode of literary narrative, it seems reasonable to say that the legend of Nicolas, the alchemist as a human being, was born out of the myth of Thoth Hermes, the ancestor god of alchemy. In Chapter 1 of Nicholas's Will, the ancient Egyptian god Thoth is the ancestor of both alchemy and writing. Is this a coincidence?
It is said that the father of Hermes was the god Thoth. Thoth, the Egyptian god of knowledge, is said to be in charge of time and created writing, numbers and all sciences. Todd is a human bird's head, sometimes a baboon's head or an ape with a dog's face. He often appears as a pen and paper in hand. He is also the ruler of the underworld. It is said that the god Tod was the author of the Book of the Dead in ancient Egypt.
Why is the occurrence of Western alchemy usually traced back to ancient Egypt? Because it is the birthplace of civilization where human beings first invented characters and used pictographic writing to cooperate with picture carving to pass on information (including knowledge and lies)!
As for the myth of Tod and the legend of Nicola, although there are great differences in time and space on the surface, it seems that they are different from each other; However, if we focus on the core role elements of the two narratives, we will find that their core images are all media with the ability of "writing record inheritance"!
Thoth, the inventor of characters, is also a god that ordinary people place hopes beyond death. This shows the internal connection of "writing writing immortality". Characters and writing ignite the hope of human immortality. Todd, the author of The Book of the Dead, became the leader in inducing human beings to be obsessed with pursuing immortality. The essence of the knowledge about how to guide the dead to obtain immortality and the knowledge about alchemy is the same, that is, to claim that mortals have the possibility of immortality. It is hoped that if we deceive and cajole the original sin of such extravagance from a scientific standpoint, then Todd and Hermes are the culprits of the original sin. The Jade Record, written in 13 sentences on the emerald slate of their grandmother, is the earliest known alchemy secret book in Europe. The knowledge of transforming metals and making magic pills spread from Egypt to Europe in this way. The Record of Cuiyu can be said to be the Book of the Dead, which was spread beyond Egypt. The book that Nicholas got in 1357 according to the inspiration of the angel's dream is undoubtedly the true biography of the knowledge of the Jade Record thousands of years ago! The scribe is the most common person in the world who is close to the "image of the god Tod with paper and pen in hand". It is this identity that enables Nikolay to directly learn the mysterious alchemy script without being "cursed by the terrible". We already know the power of spells. For example, the mysterious death caused by the opening of the tomb of Egyptian pharaoh Tutankhamun by archaeologists is explained by the popular "pharaoh's incantation" theory? As a writer, the hero is of course the best at describing various symbols. Like the Da Vinci Code, the narrative process of Nicholas's Will is the process of constantly deciphering and explaining these mysterious symbols and symbols. For example, at the beginning of the book, a symbolic riddle was arranged on the cover: the familiar symbol of the cross on Christ was replaced by the symbol of the cross on the snake. The last chapter of the book comes from the ninth chapter of Explaining the Symbol of Nicola, which is also the explanation around the mysterious symbol - a red lion opens its mouth to swallow a man in red. In fact, this passage has brought into play the spiritual implication of alchemy, which plays a key role in the book:
Now, the lion is ready to take the man out of the miserable situation, take him away from disease and poverty, flap his wings and fly away from the river of death and stagnation. From then on, this man will no longer linger on earthly wealth, but will reach the eternal heaven, where there is an eternal spring of hope. From then on, he will drink the spring water and meditate on the mystery of life day and night. These words provide an opportunity for everyone who is obsessed with alchemy for the utilitarian purpose of pursuing wealth and longevity: alchemy may be just a symbol of spiritual ascension.
