magicmoonjelly asked: Do you know of any other stories or appearances by Medjed other than in the Book of the Dead? He's pretty obscure so he doesn't pop up in the non-academic mythology books.

All you can find on the internet is all we know about him. He\u2019s extremely obscure and only found in the Book of the Dead (Book of Coming Forth By Day). All that\u2019s written about him is contained within Spell 17 of the Book of the Dead, which mentions, among many other obscure gods like \u201cthe great beaky one\u201d, Medjed (meaning \u201cthe Smiter\u201d can also mean \u201cto press on\u201d or \u201cto follow\u201d), in the following line:

\u201cI know the name of that Smiter among them, who belongs to the House of Osiris, who shoots with his eye, yet is unseen.\u201d\n\n

We have literally nothing else on this god as this is the only time he\u2019s mentioned or seen.\u00a0

Look at this asshole. He\u2019s gonna slap you. Watch the fuck out.
