Thoth has long been my favourite ancient Egyptian anthropomorphism.

Pick a deity, any deity. Your credulance is worth less than another's coin. Shall we spill some blood in sacrifice?

Oh look, the water's rising, see you next year with your rudimentary approximation of calcuable area.

How's Osiris getting on?

Thoth, or Hermes Trismegistus.

Something incredibly alluring about his lore.

Which is related to Shiva and Mercury.

Since Thoth is a shapeshifter, who knows their true name. Always comes in waves of three though.

Hermes is definitely the god of the internet -- the messenger god and tricker god in one.

Clearly, the god of the internet is Hastur (Nyarlathotep).
