In Egyptian/Kemetic Polytheism Khonsu (also Chonsu, Khensu, Khons, Chons, or Khonshu) is the God of the Moon. His name means "traveller", and this may relate to the nightly travel of the moon across the sky. Along with Thoth he marks the passage of time. Khonsu is instrumental in the creation of new life in all living creatures. At Thebes he formed part of a family triad with Mut as his mother and Amun his father. At Kom Ombo he was worshipped as son of Sobek and Hathor. Khonsu is typically depicted as a mummy with the symbol of childhood, a sidelock of hair, as well as the menat necklace with crook and flail. He has close links to other divine children such as Horus and Shu. He is sometimes shown wearing a falcon's head like Horus, with whom he is associated as a protector and healer, adorned with the sun disk and crescent moon.
