Recognizing the Gods – Khonsu and Ma’at

Khonsu and Ma’at are interesting because their images coincide greatly with the appearance of other Gods. Knowing how to identify Khonsu from the images of Osiris and Horus can be helpful, as well as being able to tell Ma’at and Isis apart.

Khonsu

Khonsu, like many Gods, had two different forms including one with a human head and one with a falcon head.

The main way to tell if an image is representing Khonsu is by looking for the lunar disk. While he is in falcon form, this disk is essentially the only thing separating him from being Horus or Ra. Generally, however, Khonsu is represented as a young child with green skin, wrapped in mummification linens and bearing the sidelock of youth in his hair. His symbols include the crook and flail, so you will often see that as well. His human form is certainly similar to that of Osiris but the differences are thusly; Osiris has a beard, Khonsu does not. Osiris is almost always shown wearing the White Crown of Upper Egypt, whereas Khonsu is shown with a lunar disk representing the full and crescent moon. Khonsu also has a sidelock hairstyle whereas Osiris has no hair showing.

Khonsu’s falcon form is nearly identical to Horus and Ra so the only thing you need to look for to identify them is for the crown. If it’s the solar disk with the uraeus snake it’s Ra, if it is the double crown of upper and lower Egypt then it’s Horus, and if it’s the lunar disk, it’s Khonsu.

As a reminder, this is what the solar disk with the uraeus looks like:

If you are looking at a large wall inscription, you may also come across Khonsu’s name in hieroglyphs:

Ma’at

Ma’at is similar in representation to Isis. Both are well-known images of ancient Egypt, but few people realize they are posting Ma’at when they want to be posting Isis, and vice versa.

She is represented with her wings spread; very similar to Isis. The image above is Ma’at, and the image below is Isis.

So the main difference here is not the hair––that’s something that changes from art piece to art piece––it’s again, the crown that they wear. Isis is represented with the Throne of Egypt on her head; it’s part of her name in hieroglyphs, whereas Ma’at is represented with the feather of truth on her head. This is a big thing to notice! Both crowns are instrumental in the characters of Isis and Ma’at, and confusing them is to confuse Goddesses who don’t have much to do with one another.

Funnily enough, there is yet another Goddess shown with spread wings. Hathor is also sometimes represented in this way, but to know when it’s her, you again look at the crown. Hathor almost always wears the crown of the cow she represents, whose horns hold up the solar disk. Here’s a quick image so you know what Hathor’s crown looks like.

Going back to Ma’at, there are very few images of her. She had no temples built for her and few worshippers, simply because she was an intrinsic part of the universe, and worship of any other God was based around her powers of calming the chaos of primordial waters.

Like most words and titles in Egyptian hieroglyphs, there were a few different ways to record Ma’at’s name. One is shortened, but I’ve included both long and short versions below.

To my fellow Egyptological linguistic enthusiasts, I need some help.

I’m trying to find the actual word(s)/titles of Khonshu’s epitaphs: “defender”, “pathfinder”, and “embracer” so I can write them out in glyphs for an art project. I’ve looked in the online dictionary I usually go to for assistance (Sesh-Kemet) and on several other articles on Khonshu but I can’t find a transliteration for any except one.

Here it lists “defender” as “Dr” (or “djer”/“Zer” approximately transliterated) in combination with Sekhty (a king) using this glyph: 𓇧. Can anyone confirm whether this is a common term or if it was used for Khonshu specifically as well?

I’m still new to navigating the language (I’m an enthusiastic hobbyist at best) so any assistance or resources that are semi-easy to navigate for beginners would be greatly appreciated!😊

Mystictober💌✨️ day 1: fave character/dance

Saeran/Ray is my favourite too!! but I only had a solid idea and enough time for Saeyoung, so my guy had to miss out😔 I'm so sorry, Saeran. it's probably fair since I usually draw the younger of the twins way more often anyway.

#I had fun with this #them🥰🥰#mm_mystictober 2023 #my art #mystic messenger #mysme #mysmes #mysme valentine's ae #707 valentine's ae #saeyoung choi #luciel choi #707 #saeyoung x oc #mirae chon oc #cmc #my oc

started watching tonhon chonlatee because it was voted worst gmmtv bl show, and i had to know whether that was true.

two episodes in, i am in LOVE. i adore this show with all my heart. this is the funniest thing i've ever seen, i keep laughing so hard it's making me cry. if they keep this energy up, this might become one of my favorite shows of all time. i truly do not understand how this was voted worst bl

#tonhon chonlatee #*mine #seriously it's so fucking funny i can't even describe it #ton is The Most Oblivious Closeted Man Ever and i have never had more fun #also chon is my son and i love him and i would die for him

Current thought:

A divine/supernatural being-turned-human (whether temporarily or permanently) who used to have perfect control over their sneezes, to the point where it was almost a completely voluntary act for them.

They soon learn, by experience, that humans don't have that luxury.

Suddenly, they find themself being set off by everything and even nothing. (And maybe discover a few allergies in the process.) Harsh, desperate fits catch them off guard with no time to stifle or even cover them, much to their annoyance and embarrassment.

Even better if they're a dignified/powerful type, unused to being at the mercy of their own reflexes.

"How do you even get anything done with... this... happening all the time?" they complain.

"Welcome to our world," their mortal friend says. "Just wait until you find out about colds,"

#snzblr #snz #sneeze kink #yeah this is about the ar//chons how could you tell #but i thought other fandoms with similar characters would enjoy this too

took another stab at the DE style with my oc, gloria. doing my part for soggy female detectives. i typically speed up the timelapses but this is the first time I've remembered to record myself doing one of these, so I thought keeping it slow might be a better time
