Gods and Mythology of Ancient Egypt Man's first gods were the forces of nature. Terrifying and unpredictable, they were feared rather than revered by our ancestors. Yet while much of the world was in darkness, worshipping cruel incarnations of natural forces, a river valley in Africa held a people who followed a different path. They worshipped gods that were beautiful to behold, luminous beings that walked the earth, guiding the human race to Paradise. They had human forms but were much more powerful; yet like humans, they got angry, despaired, fought with one another, had children, and fell in love. They lived lives that were very much like those of the people who worshipped them, the ancient Egyptians. They were gods to be feared yes, as all gods are, but they were also gods to be loved. What's more, the Egyptians enjoyed talking about the gods. Like the gods of the Greeks and Romans, the Egyptian gods seemed to be made for storytelling. There were tales to educate, tales to entertain, and tales with morals, and in those stories, the gods didn't seem so far away and unreachable. It was comforting to hear that the gods also wept for those they had lost, to hear about the gods laughing, to learn that the gods faced many of the same problems that the people did, albeit on a grander scale. In learning about the gods on such an intimate level, the Egyptians could better relate to the universe around them. The ancient Egyptians practiced a belief system that was part totemism, part polytheism, and part ancestor worship. There were numerous gods, but rather than living on an isolated mountain or in an unreachable heaven, many of them lived invisibly in the mortal world, acting through sacred sites, items, animals, or even chosen people. Furthermore, the spirits of the deceased, if remembered and honored, could aid and guide the living from the Afterlife.

Scott Perhaps no other part of the world has witnessed more religions and systems of belief than Egypt. For Jews, Christians, and Muslims it is part of the Holy Land, occupying a revered place in both their history and in their theology. Yet Egypt's religious tradition goes back even further, into the mists of prehistory. As one of the first places in the world where human beings developed civilization, it is also one of the first places in which codified religion evolved. Even the protohumans who occupied the first settlements in Egypt show traces of primitive belief of a level not normally found in similar cultures.

107. "The Radiant Thread Of Egyptian Myth" By I. M. Oderberg The egyptian myths of creation presented the many entities of the cosmos, worldand man as being (RT Rundle Clark, Myth and Symbol in Ancient Egypt , p. http://www.theosophy-nw.org/theosnw/world/med/my-imo5.htm

The Radiant Thread of Egyptian Myth By I. M. Oderberg The ancient Egyptians believed that the numerous gods of their pantheon were emanations from the First Cause of all life which, before the moment of the new creation of the universe, rested or was potential in the primeval Waters of Space. It was through these individual gods that the qualities of the divine essence were manifested. They had their own name, figure and special share and duty in the management of the universe, presiding over the production of their particular orders of phenomena and ensuring their regularity. Each of these deities was represented in the vignettes and hieroglyphs in three forms: 1. the purely human figure with attributes peculiar to the god; 2. a human body bearing the head of an animal dedicated to the deity because of some symbolic or biologic resemblance to the powers possessed or expressed by the god; and 3. the same animal depicted with the attributes of the god. Life, proceeding through the phenomena of birth, death, rebirth or resurrection, and immortality, was the thread connecting many symbolic stories that enriched the mythology of Egypt. The creation myths bear inner and outer meanings, and although they might appear to differ among themselves, they actually form a single stream of thought. The secrets of their inner interpretation will not yield unless the right keys are applied to their locks, and these keys are to be found in an understanding of their religio-philosophical roots. The temples had a public section, and a private sanctuary comprising many rooms and corridors covered with hieroglyphs that both revealed and yet veiled their essential meaning. For the Egyptian Mysteries alluded to in guarded fashion by Herodotus, Diogenes Laertius, Diodorus Siculus, and later by Iamblichus and others imparted their instruction by degrees. But the light of understanding comes only after adequate training in character as well as intellectual comprehension.
