I'm going to try Man and His Symbols. I would like to continue talking to you after I read it.
Quote:
Thoth was the god who overcame the curse of Ra, allowing Nut to give birth to her five children, with his skill at games. It was he who helped Isis work the ritual to bring Osiris back from the dead, and who drove the magical poison of Set from her son, Horus with the power of his magic.
I'm somewhat familiar with the story of Osirus and Horace from Dr. Peterson. I had never heard of Thoth though.
Is Nut his godly semen? 
Sounds very wise.

The night sky is the abdomen of Nut or Nuit. There is immense hybridization of deities in the Egyptian pantheon, spanning many many centuries and numerous kingdoms. One can find all manner of identifications, aspects of one god or goddess migrate to another over time. Symbols are living realities according to Jung, they morph.
Man and His Symbols in hardcover has many illustrations and some diagrams which are immensely more helpful than the imageless paperback. If your appetite is merely whetted and not satisfied by this book, then I HIGHLY recommend this 1973 version of Ego and Archetype by Edward Edinger since this version has color plates that are missing in later versions. https://www.amazon.com/Ego-Archetype-Individuation-Religious-Function/dp/0140217282/ref=sr_1_fkmr1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1484953351&sr=8-2-fkmr1&keywords=ego+and+archetype%2C+illustrated

My reoccurring archetypes takes on the form or angelic/alien beings, here's what I have gathered from these experiences.
Lucifer, Blue Angel/Alien - Seek knowledge, become wise, achieve growth in body/mind/soul through exercise, music, appreciation of the arts, don't follow the herd mentality, never stop searching for new ways to see things, handle strength gained through body/mind/soul building with humility and grace, seek no recognition for betterment of myself, instead use what has been gained to strengthen others who might be struggling with adversity in their life, move together as a whole, be a light.
I just wanted to touch on Lucifer for a moment.
I have come to full realization what this archetype means to myself and wanted to share with you guys.
For years I did lots of heavy drugs, was addicted to opiates for many years, mostly IV heroin, I cared nothing about my physical health. I got to the point where I accepted the withdrawal pains as being a part of who I was, I figured I could fight them, or just accept them, and by accepting their dark caress, I felt like I had purpose, sounds strange I am sure, but how I felt, I honestly felt possessed by addiction, heroin was my god in a way.
With that said, it was a hippie who got me into cycling in a roundabout way because I mentioned my health felt off from IV'ing drugs and smoking cigs so much, I figured I wanted to get clean, I had a script of suboxone and was a member at a methadone clinic, so had that going for me, I just had to isolate myself from everyone because I didn't know anyone that was sober, not a single person.
Anyway, so I was able to get clean and stay clean, I had always been a bit tall and lanky from using hard drugs and neglecting my nutritional needs, but even when I was using the hardest, I was always outside working or picking mushrooms, so was at least somewhat active.
Moving on, I decided I wanted to start working out, and started very slowly at first, I was very weak after quitting dope, and my mind was fucked from losing my best friend heroin, I didn't want to eat, to do a thing, but I knew I had to, and this is where Lucifer first came into my being, Lucifer would fill my mind with light and tell me to continue to keep working at what I was doing, and to never give up, even when my family didn't believe in me, Lucifer did, and before this go at kicking I was aware of what archetypes were, so didn't think I was actually being visited by an actual being, but instead realized that I needed what that archetype symbolized, and that was to do my own thing, and to focus on my physical health just as much as I had focused on my spiritual health, for years I had explored the unknown things of the world while getting high, but never invested much time into my physical health, so this is what Lucifer became symbolic for myself, I needed to work on my physical health, not just my spiritual health.
Some people think to much of the Lucifer archetype mindset can lead to narcissism, I can understand this because it's so empowering, better than any drug because it's such a natural high, so one must try to understand what they hope to gain from taking care of themselves physically and spiritually. Some people get full of themselves when they start to look healthy, this is the negative side of Lucifer archetype, all things in moderation I guess, moderation is one of the keys to life.
Anyway, sorry to ramble, I hope you all are well.

Fennario, I think that you found a path to truth and have named it Lucifer. As long as you are trying to be the best person you can be at every level of your physical being, your social being, and your special being (as in for humanity), then you are truly awake and properly motivated.
I am interested in how, who you call, Lucifer revealed himself? What caused you to identify him as such? I understand that is an awfully personal question and fully understand if you don't want to talk about it.
Blessed journeys to you.
