Ophiuchus
- "Serpent Holder."
Alarmed that Asklepius's ability to keep people alive might put him out of work, Hades convinced his brother Zeus, God of Earth & Sky, to kill Asklepius. For daring to wield power as mighty as that of the gods, Zeus struck the mortal Asklepius down with a Thunderbolt and then placed him among the constellations to honor him, calling him "Ophiuchus," which means serpent holder. By other accounts, the crime for which Asklepius was dispatched to the stars was that of requiring payment for his services. |

Thoth (more a descriptive term that follows a line of specific incarnations than a name), in one of his early incarnations as the Egyptian Tehuti, Ibis-headed Moon God, God of Wisdom, Healing & Magick, Scribe of the Gods, is credited with introducing written language skills in the form of hieroglyphics. The art and science of Astrology is also attributed to Thoth-Tehuti. He is known to the Greeks as Hermes and to the Hermetists as Hermes Trimegistos the "Thrice Greatest," although recent research turns up interesting twists on this and other interpretations of Egyptian history. See Thoth Revealed for info on this subject. He is said to have taken perhaps his earliest god form in Atlantis, moving on from there to exist in both god and human form in Egypt.

Imhotep, the Egyptian mortal, was a Master Physician, Architect/Builder, Astronomer/Astrologer, Priest, and the first man of science in recorded history. During his life he exemplified the qualities of Egyptian gods of wisdom and magick I-Em-Hetep and the Egyptian Thoth Tehuti. His superhuman life lived as a mortal aptly earned him god status after his mortal death. He became God of Healing and Wisdom, the Son of Ptah and Sekhmet, replacing Nefertem as the third member of the Triad of gods at Memphis. |

from Isis Revealed -
Relatives of Isis By Tom Gilmore, Copyright 2000, T Byron G Publishing "Around 2700 BC myth and history begin to mix, and it culminates in the real life deity Imhotep, the architect of the Great Step Pyramid. Imhotep derives from the middle Thoth of the nation of Terra, Khons, of the animal icon of the baboon. Sekhmet "the powerful", is a derivative of the cat headed goddess Bast. Ptah in Memphis is the artist's guild and builder's guild remnant of Khons. Sekhmet and Ptah have the son Nefertum, who is the father of Imhotep. The mother of Imhotep is a secret known only to the Order of Isis, but clearly she is from the line of Andjedti, or the Thoth of the icon of the ibis. Two of the Thoth have been combined in Imhotep; Andjedti of the ibis, and Khons of the baboon. The third Thoth, of Horus, descended of Hor-Tehuti, became Pharaoh of the United Nile. Imhotep is the "Vizier" of the United Nile, and his Pharaoh is Djoser. There is an obvious compression between the myth and the man. There are Viziers before Imhotep, as the fusion of the two lines of Thoth into one took place. But Imhotep gained such fame that he was deified in subsequent generations, and stands as the symbolic figure in the procreation account." |

Imhotep (early incarnation of Thoth-Tehuti) was the innovative Architect and Builder of the first step pyramid at Saqqara, Egypt between 2778-2723 B.C. Pictured at left is the Zoser Complex Imhotep designed and built for the second king of the Third Egyptian Dynasty, King Djoser (or Zoser). A later Thoth incarnation led to the design and construction of the Great Pyramid at Giza between 10,400 and 10,348 BC. See Temple of Thoth. |

The Greek Aesclepius,
like Imhotep, lived as a mortal man and was deified after his death.
Legend has it he was a son of Apollo Greek god of the Sun, while
historic accounts provide names of human parents. Numerous writings
exist to recount in some detail the history of Aesclepius's personal and
professional life. Aesclepius the man was married and had numerous children who
likewise became skilled healers and physicians.
Aesclepius the professional angered the gods for daring to cheat death for a living. Healing temples erected to Aesclepius offer aspirants the opportunity to pray or to sleep in one of the dream chambers and receive healing or a vision from Aesclepius, the Greek God of Healing Recent developments in translating the legacies of myth, legend, & history in the context of humanity's connections to the Godhead reveal that Aesclepius may have been in fact another in the line of incarnations of Thoth-Tehuti, i.e., one more instance of Hermes Trimegistos. |

The Greek Hermes, Messenger of the Gods. His attributes are similar to those of the Egyptian Thoth. The symbol of the caduceus is generally attributed to Hermes while the wooden staff with a single snake coiled about it is said to more symbolize Aesclepius. Regardless of the vehement disagreement between quasi-scholars on the subject, the fact is that both symbols trade on the idea of a snake or snakes entwined about an upright support. Both symbols represent healing and wisdom. |
