Mythology Summary

Egyptian god of chaos, storms, desert, foreigners. Murdered Osiris, fought Horus. Demonized in later periods but originally protective deity. Defended Ra's solar barque against Apophis nightly. Represents necessary chaos, disruption that prevents stagnation, strength through disorder. Not evil—necessary.

Modern Practice

Patron of outsiders, those working with chaos magic, disruptors. Invoked for breaking stagnation, necessary disruption, strength work. Teaches that chaos serves purpose, that disorder prevents stagnation, that some must stand in the storm.
