PTAH #24

Ptah is an ancient Egyptian god of creation, craftsmanship, and architecture. He is often depicted as a man wrapped in a tight white shroud, with a beard and holding a scepter that combines ankh (life), djed (stability), and was (power). Ptah is considered the patron of artisans, builders, and sculptors, and is believed to have created the world through the power of his heart and speech. As the god of creation, Ptah was associated with intellectual creativity and the manifestation of ideas into tangible form. He was highly revered in the city of Memphis, where he was worshipped as a national god and the creator of the universe, with the belief that he formed the world by thinking and speaking it into existence. Ptah’s role in Egyptian mythology emphasizes the connection between thought, creation, and craftsmanship.
