Sokar was the ancient god of the cemeteries in Memphis and became god of a death seen as a transformative process, the middle ring of a cycle that started with Ptah and ended with reborn Osiris.
Alongside Apophis, Anubis, and other Egyptian-inspired characters, Sokar is also a character in Stargate and comes from the Goa’uld, the main villains and dominant race.
He’s this week’s Chthonic Thursday deity on my Patreon.
