Djehuty was the primary mediator between good and evil, making sure that each was in balance, one never getting a decisive victory over the other. As the scribe, he was the one who created the written word and the Egyptian hieroglyphics. In the Underworld, he was the one who recorded where the scales rested in the weighing of the heart against the feather of Ma’at.
As a member of the Ogdoad, Djehuty was self-created, having no parentage. As the master of divine law (both the physical and moral laws), Djehuty was the definition of Ma’at and its proper use. Djehuty made the calculations for the establishment of the universe we live in. His feminine counterpart was Ma’at, who is the force that maintains the universe.
The Egyptians credited Djehuty as the divine author of all works of science, philosophy, religion, and magick. The Greeks went even further and made him the author of every work of every branch of knowledge, human or divine.
