Mnemonic for Middle Egyptian Alphabet

The vulture from the reed leaf flew
And landed on the reed leaf two
The arm which reached the quail chick's foot
Then reached a stool and on it put
A horned viper!
The owl above the water swooped
It's mouth as an enclosure drooped
And dropped the rope - a big descenta!
Upon the floating there placenta.
Animal bellies and bolts of doors
And folded cloth may be in stores
But pools and hills and basket lands
Are seldom far from old jar-stands.
A loaf of bread is not a hobble
A hand can't make a cobra bobble!

t3 Lilly

t3 is the transliteration of the ideogram of the word "earth" in Middle Egyptian Hieroglyphs. It can be pronounced "tah"

Lilly refers to William Lilly, the renowned 17th century English horary astrologer.

It will be here that I talk about two of my passions in life - Ancient Egypt and Traditional Astrology. My third great love is Tarot but that is for another blog :)
