All you can find on the internet is all we know about him. He’s extremely obscure and only found in the Book of the Dead (Book of Coming Forth By Day). All that’s written about him is contained within Spell 17 of the Book of the Dead, which mentions, among many other obscure gods like “the great beaky one”, Medjed (meaning “the Smiter” can also mean “to press on” or “to follow”), in the following line:
“I know the name of that Smiter among them, who belongs to the House of Osiris, who shoots with his eye, yet is unseen.”
We have literally nothing else on this god as this is the only time he’s mentioned or seen.
Look at this asshole. He’s gonna slap you. Watch the fuck out.
