Allegedly, Medjed was actually the one responsible for the annual flood of the Nile, directing Hapi to do so. If it commanded a widely celebrated God of the Nile, Medjed must have been a pretty big deal. Thank you Medjed.

Surely Medjed is a thunder god/demon? He rings the sky with that peculiar tropical lightning that is like ghostly flames. He announces the Nile flood with thunder but is not seen. He smites so strongly that the sound can be heard from miles away. I believe some translations have that he shoots rays of light from his eye, lightning bolts, perhaps? Could his attire be a bag with a cloth tie? Like the bag of winds in Greek mythology? If it is to do with jars then I think it is like the cloth cover of the jar, a containment, a control to ensure his power does not escape without guidance.

I see him more as a hit man, or strongman. Like in Gangs, he'd be the shooter or the one who gets the dirty work done. He just fights for house of Osiris, so it's like a faction. I feel why the knowing of the name is so powerful, cuz it's secret knowledge to everyone outside of the house. Knowing the names and natures of the house is a free ticket to walk within, because I know the password.
