Mythology Summary

Seshat is the Egyptian goddess of writing, measurement and the archive, who records the years, the booty, the building plans and the king's reign on the leaves of the tree of life. She is the only figure who measures the ground for a temple with the king himself.

Modern Practice

Seshat is called on at the start of any written work, any measurement and any archive. Her practice is the accurate record kept as you go, and the offering is a finished, correct page.
