yep...just found it
My friend who's into this stuff directed me to one odd website which claims that "in chapter LXXXV of the Book of the Dead, Thoth rules the "Western Domain," and by the end of the New Kingdom he is called "Lord of the West""...
I can't attest to how true or false that is because I lose my super powers when not in the library. The only copy of the book I have in my apartment is a notoriously erroneous version by Budge (that's what I've heard anyway, I can't attest to that personally either)
same site claims that thoth had an association with earthquakes and volcanoes...not sure how true that is, but I wouldn't be terribly surprised.
It's worth mentioning that there are numerous egyptian gods with a western association, but (if that site is correct) thoth is the only one who's called the "lord" of the west...he's certainly the only one I can think of...sooo, make of that what you will
