A very old god of primitive times, Khonsu was invoked to protect against wild animals and to aid with healing. Amulets of Khonsu were worn to drive away illness. As a moon god, Khonsu constantly moved across the night sky. Consequently, he was thought to watch over night travelers.

As the moon, Khonsu was thought to embody peace and destructiveness, death and regeneration. Khonsu took the place of Ra when he was in the underworld, illuminating the darkness for those on earth. It was said that when Khonsu caused the crescent moon to shine, “women conceived, cattle became fertile, and all nostrils and every throat were filled with fresh air.”

Khonsu’s sacred animals were the turtle and the baboon, as well as the falcon.

Khonsu was thought to be the son of Amun. He was occasionally said to be the son of Sekhmet, Bast, Hathor, Osiris, or Sobek.

In later times Khonsu's popularity waned and he was absorbed into Thoth.
