This is for K Wittry //Egyptian Goddesse////s Seshat and Isis// 


 * __Seshat:__** Seshat (a.k.a Seshet, Sashet,, or Sesheta) was the goddess of reading, writing, arithmetic, astrology, and architecture. She combined these gifts to calculate the days of life the Pharaoh had to live and to work out the dimensions of his temple and tomb, ensuring his immortality. She was depicted as a woman with a leopard skin robe and carrying a palm stem with notches cut out to record the passages of time. She had a papyrus plant above her head that resembled a seven pointed star and was a female scribe. People think that she was the daughter of Nut and Geb, and her siblings included Osiris, Isis, and Seth. In Egyptian mythology there are confusing accounts as to whether Thoth was her brother or her husband, in reality he could have been both. Seshat was associated with the written word and invented writing.

__**Isis**:__ Isis (a.k.a Eset, Aset, Iset, Ast, or Auset) was the goddess of magic and giver of life. She was responsible for motherhood, marriage, love, health and healing, immortality, and magic. Isis usually appears with outstretched wings and a throne on top of her head. She has the body of a woman, the horns of a cow, and carries and ankh in one hand. Isis was believed to be the daughter of the Earth God, Geb, and the Sky Goddess, Nut. She was the sister of Osiris, Seth, and Nephthys. She was also the wife of Osiris, and mother of the god, Horus. Isis used her cleverness to trick Ra into telling her his secret name and she gained equal power to the Sun God.

This is for C Stoffel __The Egyptians Gods Shu and Nut __ The Egyptian god of the atmosphere, Shu may also be considered Su. While standing, he wears a headdress with ostrich feathers attached. With one of his hands he grips the symbol of life in one hand and a spear in the other. When he is standing, he either has a sun as a head or a cat head. He is sometimes shown with his family while he holds his daughter, Nut in the sky and stands on his son, Geb. When he is standing, he holds a pole while he sits in his very own chair. Shu is married to his sister, Tefnut and his father is Re. The Egyptians thought that the clouds in the sky were his bones.  Nut (also known as Nuit, or Nwt ) was the Egyptian goddess of the sky and the heavens. She is shown either standing by herself or with her family. Her body is covered in stars while she bands over the Earth. The only difference with her family is that Shu, her father, is holding her up above while Shu stands on Geb. You could also remember it as when Shu is with her family. She is married to her brother, Geb and her mother is Tefnut. Set and Osiris are her sons and Isis and Nephthys are her daughters.
