Djehuti, HERstory

Journey through ancient Kemet to discover how the ibis deity began as a lunar goddess before masculine transformation. Archaeological evidence and textual analysis reveal that Djehuti - known later as Thoth in Greek tradition - originally embodied feminine principles connected to lunar cycles, wisdom, and cosmic knowledge. This presentation challenges conventional Egyptology by examining hieroglyphic texts, temple iconography, and astronomical alignments that suggest Djehuti's feminine aspects were systematically obscured during later dynastic periods. The crescent moon imagery, cyclical associations, and partnership with other feminine deities like Ma'at and Seshat provide compelling evidence for this revolutionary understanding. By reclaiming Djehuti's feminine origins, we gain insight into how ancient Kemetic spirituality balanced masculine and feminine divine principles before patriarchal restructuring. This perspective invites us to reconsider not only our understanding of this pivotal deity but also the broader religious evolution throughout North African spiritual traditions.
