Attributes Part 2

As the Goddess of Love and Happiness, my duty to to take care of mothers and their children. As I have said before, I am associated with the animal the cow. I am also attached to the necklace the menat.

I come from Egypt and I have a temple in Dendera. Many of my worshipers built this temple in honor of my ruling.

I am joyful although sometimes Sekhmet gets to me. When I become Sekhmet, I become ruthless, vengeful, and deadly. Becoming Sekhmet is my only downfall. Otherwise I work for the mothers and the children. I bring love, beauty, dance and music where ever I go. 
Being the goddess I am, I am friends among many. Ranging from the Pharaohs, royals, mothers, children, and gods and goddesses. The only occasional enemy I have in Ra, but my love for Ra removes any hatred that has or will develop. 

My symbols include my head-dress, myself as a cow, and menat.

  1. I also have the occasional enemy in Ra. In some of my myths, he is the reason that I was seperated from Geb, so I can sympathize.

    1. I agree that Ra is not always in the right, but he it my father. So his sins are forgiven.
