Sherkova, T. A. Ancient Egyptian God of Knowledge and Balance Thoth: Historical and Psychological Aspect
of Transient Ceremonies
Abstract:
Mythological motive of a soul transiting into the world of the dead is one of the most radical techniques of
analytical psychology when correcting the psychological structure and preparing the personality for future transformation.
In extreme situations our unconsciousness sends messengers from the Numen world – archetype images
of helpers and conductors leading us towards the light of consciousness. Representing the idea of ‘united’ opposites,
ancient Egyptian god Thoth had a wide range of knowledge – writing and counting in the first place. Being the god
of magic, it is him who was asked to take the soul of the dead to the other world, towards the light of the gods’ world.
Keywords:
psychology, soul, Thoth, collective unconsciousness, archetypes, mythology, spirit, symbol, consciousness, life-and-death.
