Min bears a flat crown with two tall plumes and wafts hanging down. From the Old Kingdom (2686-2181 b.c.) on, he was connected with long-leafed lettuce, which usually was found on his extending table. The Pyramid Texts name to Min as he Whose Arm is Increased in the East. Mins cult central was at Koptos, and excavations at the temple website  have  got  three  colossal statues engraved in limestone that may be the early sculptures of the  deity.

In the Middle Kingdom (2055-1650  b.c.),  the assigns  of  Min  and  Horus,  the  falcon  god,  were engaged.  Horus  was  seen  as  the  deity  of  the  southeastern Delta,  Min  was  the  deity  of  the  east  desert,  and the new god was visited Min-Horus, the guardian of mining dispatches into the Sinai.

During  the  pharaohs  investiture  solemnisation  in the  New  Kingdom  (1550-1069  b.c.),  an  elaborate advance and feast honored Min so that his virility would  be  passed  to  the  new  pharaoh.  The  festival is entered on the 2nd pylon of the Ramesseum, the mortuary temple of Ramses II (1279-1213 b.c.), and  besides  in the temple  of Ramses III at Medinet Habu in  Thebes,  which  shows  Ramses III  in  a  palanquin (carrying  chair)  leading  the  royal  palace  in  a  grand advancement to the temple. The statue of Min sits in his  shrine  and  is  carried  by  priests  with  long  poles over their shoulders that support the shrine. When they reach the public area, two priests holding a linen drapery hide the statue of Min from view while other priests  chant  anthems.  Then  the  tabby  appears  with the White Bull, an animal sacred to Min, and they idolize the kings antecedents before the investiture. Toward  the  end  of  the  solemnisation,  four  sparrows are set free to fly to the four corners of the land and herald  the  new  sovereign.  In  Thebes,  the  great god Amun was at various times linked with Min as well.

God Heka

God Heka
God Heka was the exaltation of magic in Egyptian  mythology,  his  name "Heka" being  the  Egyptian  word  for  "magic". Fitting to Egyptian writing  Heka was "before dichotomy  had  yet  come  into  being."  The  term  "Heka"  was  likewise  used  for  the practice of magical ritual. The Coptic word "hik" is derived from the Ancient Egyptian. Heka literally means responsible the Ka, the view of the soul which embodied personality. Egyptians thought responsible the power of the person was how magic worked.  "Heka"  also  involved  great  power  and  influence,  particularly  in  the case of ranging upon the Ka of the gods. Heka acted together with Hu, the principle of divine utterance, and Sia, the conception of divine omniscience, to create the ground of plastic power both in the individual world and the world of the deities.

As the one who triggers Ka, Heka was besides said to be the son of Atum, the creator of things in widespread, or now and then the son of Khnum, who created special individual Ba (another view of the soul). As the son of Khnum, his mother was very to be Menhit.

The  hieroglyph  for  his  name  featured  a  twist  of  flax  inside  a  couple  of  mounted arms;  however,  it  also  mistily  resembles  a  pair  of  intertwined  snakes  within someone's arms. Consequently, Heka was said to have combated and conquered two serpents, and was usually represented as a man dying two giant intertwined snakes. Medicine and doctors were considered to be a form of magic, and so Heka's priesthood performed these bodily functions.

Egyptians believed that with Heka, the activating of the Ka, an view of the soul of both gods and humans, (and divine  personification  of  magic),  they  could  mold  the  gods  and  gain  shelter,  healing  and  transmutation. Health and haleness of being were worthy to Heka. There is no word for religion in the ancient Egyptian language, material and religious world views were not distinct; thus Heka was not a secular practice but rather a divine observance. Every face of life, every word, plant, animal and ritual was connected to the power and agency of the gods.
