The Litanies of Thoth is a compact but profound manual of theurgical devotion, esoteric prayer, and divination dedicated to the Great God Djehuty. Following the highly acclaimed Book of Flesh and Feather, this second opus of the Church of Flesh and Feather opens a more intimate path of communication with the deity through liturgy, contemplation, and magical practice.
At the heart of the book is a complete prayer cycle for the sacred year. Following a modified Coptic calendar, with the Gregorian calendar given alongside it, The Litanies of Thoth offers powerful esoteric prayers for every day, while also marking important holy days and feasts. The result is not merely a collection of invocations, but a living devotional structure through which the practitioner may enter into daily relation with Djehuty.
The volume also explores the power and essence of prayer within a mystery tradition. Prayer is presented not as passive supplication, but as a theurgical act: a means of alignment, communication, empowerment, and sacred interpretation. Through repeated engagement with the litanies, the practitioner is invited to cultivate a deeper participation in the wisdom, speech, measure, and magical intelligence of Thoth.
To support this work, the author provides methods for employing the prayers for theurgical and magical purposes, together with a table of Isopsephy for deeper exegesis of the sacred texts. The book also introduces several forms of divination, including cowrie shells, Senet sticks, and ink scrying, allowing the devotee to extend prayer into direct oracular communication.
Designed as a usable ritual companion, The Litanies of Thoth comprises 432 pages in a compact format, with several black-and-white illustrations by the author. It is intended for devotees of Thoth/Djehuty, practitioners of Kemetic and Netjerist Gnosis, theurgists, diviners, and all those seeking a disciplined daily practice of sacred speech, divine wisdom, and magical communion.
