Three

Book of the Dead By H Blumer My first Egyptian goddess is Hathor (Mehurt, Mehet-Weret, Mehet-uret), was worshipped as the goddess of love, beauty, music, motherhood, and joy. She often appeared in the form of a cow, and also in the form of a woman with a cow head, or just cows ears. Hathor was the wife of Horus, and considered mother of all pharaohs. In later times, Hathor was often worshipped as the goddess of the underworld, and frequently depicted in underworld scenes. An interesting fact about Hathor was often prayed to to give people strength in war.



My second Egyptian goddess, Nephthys (Nebet-Het, Nebthut), was worshipped as the goddess of death and experience, but also considered protector of the dead. She often appeared in coffins, and wore and hour-glass shaped headdress with her name shown in hieroglyphics. She was the sister of Isis & Osiris, wife of Seth, and mother of Anubis. One fact I find interesting is that although she was a goddess of "Divine Assistance," she was also associated death.



Book of the Dead by S. Bedard My first Egyptian god is Hapi, known a Hapi-Meht in upper Egypt and Hapi-Reset in Lower Egypt. He was worshipped as the god of the Nile River, which is the main source of life in Egypt. He was seen as a man with breasts, blue or green skin and a full stomach, representing his ability to nourish the land. Also, he was seen ether wearing papyrus or lotus on his head, holding papyrus and lotus or holding two vases. For family, Hapi has Nekhebet as a wife in Upper Egypt and Buto as a wife in Lower Egypt. One interesting thing that I found was that the Egyptians also believed that he was the creator of the universe.

My second Egyptian god is Nut, goddess of the sky. She was often described as a woman wearing a small round vase of water on her head or a woman with her hands and feet touching the ground, representing the four pillars of the sky and her body shaped into an arch, which represents the heavens. Her family consisted of Shu and Tefnut, her parents, Geb as a husband and Osiris, Isis, Seth, Nephthys and Horus as her children. One fact that I find fascinating is that the five days of her children’s births are celebrated events.
