KHONSU
Khonsu (who went by other names such as Chonsu, Khensu, Khons, Chons, or Khonshu) was the god of the moon. His name means 'traveller', which may or may not relate to how the moon travels across the sky at night. Along with the god, Thoth, he marked the passage of time. His parents were Ra/Amun and Hathor/Mut, and his siblings were Ma'at, Apis, Tefnut, Sekhmet, Bast (who also became his spouse) and Shu.
As the god who helped shine light in the darkness of the night, Khonsu was also affiliated with protecting wild animals and helped to aid with healing.
In early forms of art, he is shown as a mummy with a sidelock of hair (the symbol of childhood) and the menat necklace with crook and flail. Sometimes, he is depicted as wearing a falcon's head like Horus, with whom he is associated with for being a protector and healer, and wearing the sun disk and crescent moon.
