The Ancient Gods have returned!
Sia the deification of thought
Culture: North African
Classification: Primal Deity
Associated: Creation, Wisdom Thought
was the deification of perception in the Heliopolitan Ennead
cosmogony and is probably equivalent to the intellectual energies of the heart
of Ptah in the Memphite cosmogeny. He also had a connection with writing and was
often shown in anthropomorphic form holding a papyrus scroll. This papyrus was
thought to embody intellectual achievements.
Sia is a deity belonging to the Heliopolitan Creation myth.
She represents “personification of mind” and “deification of wisdom” and she is
born from one drop of blood from Ra, the ancient Egyptian sun god. There exists
another god who is also born from one drop of blood from Ra, it is Hu and Hu is
the “deification of the word of creation”. Both Sia and Hu represents insight
and wisdom of Ra.
At the beginning of time, the god Atum emerged from the
swirling waters of chaos to stand on the first dry land, the primordial
ben-ben, to begin the act of creation.
The universe was created and given form by magical means,
and magic sustained both the visible and invisible worlds. Heka was thought to
have been present at creation and was the generative power Atum Ra drew upon in
order to create life.
To me belonged the universe before you gods came into being.
You have come afterwards because I am Heka" (Spell, 261).
Sia is the thought,
the idea the inspiration.
Hu is the execution of those idea through the spoken word.
Moreover, these three deities, Sia the Divine thought, Hu the
creative utterance, and Heka the generative force, accompany Ra to set the
order in the universe and maintain everything created. They are seen together
with the falcon-headed sungod standing in the sunboat as it travels across the
sky. This points to the mythical concept that every sunrise is equal to the
world being created anew.
Sia appeared standing on the solar barque during its journey
through the night in New Kingdom underworld texts and tomb decorations,
together with Hu, the "creative utterance," and Heka, the god of
magic. These gods were seen as special powers helping the creator, and although
Heka had his own cult Sia did not
