Thanks, Jim. Interesting that some say he has jackal-like features. I have a feeling that like the spirits captured in photos, and like other deities, the form will definitely depend upon the eye of the beholder.

I once had an astral/dream experience that I was taken to a deity called Thoth (whom I later found out is an ancient Egyptian deity). He appeared as a dark gray cloud. Even in this basic form, I could feel the intelligence and strength. It was a very profound experience.

I have also experience in astral/dream of Thoth as a dog-headed entity, like Anubis. I have had lots of experiences with dog-headed spirits. But to me they are good, powerful, and positive.

It is a rather confronting topic when much of the world is quite divided on what is seen as good and evil. I personally see everything as necessary and good.
