PROMETHEUS

His name means "forethought."

Khem (Egyptian) A deity presiding over the districts of Herui and Khem in Upper Egypt; being an aspect of Horus the Younger (Heru-merti). He is especially connected with the fish in the city of Sekhem in the Underworld:

"Se-khen is the residence or loka of the god Khem (Horus-Osiris, or Father and Son), hence the 'Devachan' of Atma-Buddhi.

". . . Khem is Horus avenging the death of his father Osiris, hence punishing the Sins of man when he becomes a disembodied Soul. Thus the defunct 'Osirified' became the god Khem, who 'gleans the field of Aanroo,' i.e., he gleans either his reward or punishment, as that field is the celestial locality (Devachan) where the defunct is given wheat, the food of divine justice" (SD 1:220-21).
