Golden egg laying bird
A hen or chicken that is usually depicted laying golden eggs for its owner. The idea of such a mystical creature has been encountered in fairy tales such as Jack and the Beanstalk as well as the occult with the story of The Black Pullet – teaching an individual how to create such a creature through talismanic magic.
An expression which loosely corresponds to Alchemy referring to the ideal of gaining pure gold from lead (something from nothing through magical means), thus a person who has suddenly come into a lot of money is said to have a "hen that lays golden eggs".
In the later period of Egyptian history, a cult of Thoth gained prominence, thus giving rise to the adjustment of mythology in order to give Thoth a greater role. This included varying the Ogdoad cosmogony myth so that it was Thoth who gives birth to Ra/Atum/Nefertum/Khepri, as a result of laying, as an ibis, an egg containing them. Later it was said that this was done in the form of a goose - literally as a goose laying a golden egg.
