Egypt's mythology based on its cosmology probably goes back to Neolithic times prior to her foundation. The Judgement mythology of Osiris, which was adapted in the course of time was passed on to Moses who again adapted it to suit the Hebrews. It then influenced the Greek religion seen in the Elysian mysteries and finally this ancient mythology met the Age of Pisces that gave birth to Christianity. The Wheel of Dharma turns again and its truths are revealed in the chart for Enlightenment. The gods of Egypt are vast and lie outside the remit of this present work but essentially there are ten main gods that form a cosmology and it is the understanding of the role of these gods that give us a glimpse of the spirituality of Egypt. The first of the gods relates to the sun, which is subdivided into three the rising sun (Horus), the mid day sun (Ra) and the setting sun (Atum) essentially the different aspects of this luminary. The second god is Khonsu (Moon) a young man who wears a moon disc. The third god is Thoth (mercury) the scribe. The fourth god is Isis (Venus/Libra) the wife and consort of Osiris. The fifth god is Seth (Mars) whose governorship of Scorpio opposes Horus. The sixth god is Ptah (Jupiter) having both the practical and intellectual characteristics of the sign Sagittarius. The seventh god is Anubis (Saturn) guarding the dead in the tombs as befits the planet that rules the bone structure in man. The eight is Maat (Uranus) the god of truth that arose out of chaos. The ninth is Nepthys (Neptune) the sister of Isis and lastly Osiris (Pluto) the most important of all the Egyptian deities who rules over the Underworld or the deceased. Anubis who in Egyptian mythology escorted the souls of the dead to Judgement accompanies the deceased to Osiris (Pluto) who is seated in the Hall of Judgment. The heart (Venus) of the body is placed in the balance and weighed. Thoth in the form of a baboon (mercury) sits on the balance (see chart) and either side is Maat (Uranus) and the heart (Venus) the procedure is overseen by Anubis (Saturn) who is in the form of a jackal. While standing by is the ibis-headed Thoth the scribe who notes the result in the Book of Life who hands it to Osiris sitting in the Hall. In attendance are four gods (Descendant, Mars, Moon, Jupiter) and Renemet (North Node) and Shai (South Node) while outside is Beby. A monster that devours those that do not pass the test. Behind Osiris is the goddess Isis (Libra) beautiful wife of Osiris the wind (air) of the zodiac that is assisted by Nepthys (Neptune sextile Pluto). The body of the deceased that passes the test is resurrected as Osiris and given life shown in the chart by the planetary conjunction of Pluto (Osiris) and the sun (Horus) in Libra (Isis) these gods being concepts of celestial dynamics at the moment of illumination. Upon which at this time the priests of Egypt noted the positions of the orbs and then this whole mythology was born and its spiritual lessons was enshrined forever in stone in the Great Pyramid of CheopsThe gods of Egypt
