Heka (god)
Heka (; ; also spelled Hike) was the deification of magic in ancient Egypt. The name is the Egyptian word for "''magic''". According to Egyptian writing (Coffin text, spell 261), ''Heka'' existed "''before duality had yet come into being.''" The term "Heka" was also used to refer to the practice of magical rituals. The Coptic word "hik" is derived from Ancient Egyptian. == Etymology ==
The word ''Heka'' means ''activating the Ka'', the aspect of the soul which embodied personality. Egyptians believed that activating the power of the soul was how magic worked. "Heka" also implied great power and influence, particularly when drawing upon the Ka of the gods. Heka acted together with ''Hu'', the principle of divine utterance, and ''Sia'', the concept of divine omniscience, to create the basis of creative power both in the mortal world and the world of the gods.
