Thoth the Shaper

Thoth is portrayed in many illustrations to be very strong and with a burly physique. There are very noticeable large burn-contracture scars along his upper-body - in which he is seen to wear nothing. Only work pants. His beard is long and burly and his hair being grayed.

The Angel of Knowledge, Crafts, and Art - by following his instructions followers hope to reforge themselves. He approves of those who work diligently and without distractions.

** The Sounds of Labor - a Prayer** The book's cover is very well designed; done by an artisan clearly. Almost everything about this book was done perfectly with no exceptions. Time seems to have no effect on the durability or appearance of this book. It feels sturdy in your hands. Thoth is the Angel of Knowledge, Crafts, and Art. Those who follow him work. And work harder. They avoid all forms of conflict and all forms of pleasures. They are but distractions to their works. Followers are encouraged to construct a modest, small temple - or have a workshop clear of any mess.

All must be of stone. They must prepare a ritual shield. Sacrifice the fruits of your labor to the flames to please Thoth! Show him you are diligent. When the work is done, followers should bang the ritual shield in the temple with an appropriate tool or weapon. Share off time with Thoth. Do NOT use the ritual shield for combat! Do not blaspheme His name!

Followers will be blessed with the knowledge of grand works of which they can build as a unique gift upon finishing a ritual. Thoth nods to those who do well in their works. I will do you well now to instruct to you how you can summon him in your own temple!

Construct a grand fire, preferably a large brazier wrought with strong metal infront of a large stone sculpting of Thoth. Thoth will not take offence if you do not know His appearance. Design it humbly, but do not insult Him! Now for the ceremony! Throw in your best works to the fire for the flames hunger for them! After you feel a large headache He is ready to listen to your calls!

The holder of the ritual shield should bang on it in no particular rhythm, but they should bang against it zealously! Grace the ears of your fellows around you with your fervor. Gather around the ritual shield-bearer and stomp in his rythym. The flames should grow greater. Give the flames space for they know no mercy. If all succeeds, He will appear before you, giving to the shield-bearer the knowledge of the Grand Work to complete for weeks ahead. Now go! Work. Work harder! And be reforged!
