Great work, Peter. I studied Thoth for some time and have the Budge translation of the Egyptian 'Book of The Dead'. I saw from your bio that you've studied egyptology as well, but I'm wondering if you are aware that Thoth is actually a later represtentation of the antedeluvian Enoch,7th firstborn of the line of Adam. His representation was given an Ibis head to signify his 'purging' Egypt of snakes (the symbol of the ruling elite class during his time, the 'fallen angels' (remember the 'serpent' in the tree...) . The Book of The Dead was the writing Enoch (also associated with the moon) did at their behest when God refused their supplications for forgiveness in transgressing His commands just over 6000 years ago. The Ethiopic version of 'The Book of Enoch' is the best source for confirming this. If you have the oportunity to investigate it, let me know what you think! As for your poem, I truly enjoyed the visuals, but the deeper and more obscure meanings and connections it makes made it worth a second read! Thanks!
