Atum
[Egyptian] The primeval Egyptian sun god and creator of the world. He is the evening aspect of the sun, representing the setting sun. Later he was syncretized with Re as the god Atum-Re. According to the myths, he was the first substance (a hill) who emerged from the primeval waters. Amut created the deities Shu and Tefnut from his spittle or from his semen in the act of masturbation. Atum was especially worshipped at Heliopolis, where he was the head of the Ennead cult. He was represented by the black bull Mnewer, who bore the sun disk and uraeus between its horns. As the father of the pharaoh, he played an important part in the coronation rites. Atum was depicted as old man symbolizing the setting sun, but he also appeared also a snake, a scarab, and a mangust (pharaoh hat). The snake, bull, lion, lizard and ichneumon are his sacred animals. The Memphite creation myth stated that Atum was conceived in the heart of Ptah and was created by his word. Literally, "he who completes, or perfects".
Tum
Tum (Egypt) A primordial divinity issued from Nut, considered equivalent to the Vedic Aditi or kosmic space; as one of the main functions of Tum is generating the heavenly bodies and all celestial beings, it is a virtual equivalent of fohat. He generates the other gods and gives himself whatever form he likes, issuing from Nut, "the great female which is in the bosom of the waters" -- the great deep or space. In
The Book of the Dead he is described as the north wind, spirit of the west, and the setting sun of life -- which is "the vital electric force that leaves the body at death, wherefore the
defunct begs that Toum should give him the breath from his
right nostril (positive electricity) that he might live in his
second form. . . .
". . . Both Fohat and Toum are addressed as the 'Great ones of the Seven Magic Forces,' who, 'conquer the Serpent
Apap' or Matter" (SD 1:673-4).
The Book of the Dead clearly portrays the activities of Tum-Fohat during manvantara, and during pralayas Tum sinks into Akab, the great deep or space.
