Greeting’s heathens and witches,

Welcome to the Horn and Cauldron podcast…

Deity worship was a crucial part of everyday life in ancient Egypt, and we know of more than 1,500 gods by name. With the exception of the reign of Akhenaten (17 years, in 14th c BCE), the Egyptians were a polytheistic religion. Today, we know the Egyptian deities by their ancient Greek names, and we’ll be talking about Amun, Ra, Horus, Hathor, Sekhmet, Maat, Osiris, Isis, Set, Bastet, Anubis, Ptah, and Thoth. We also share their correspondences, and where they fit in with each other.
