Akhtober #9

9.) Nekhbet/Wadjet

Nekhbet is the vulture goddess of Upper/southern ancient Egypt, and Wadjet is the cobra goddess of Lower/northern ancient Egypt. Together, They represent a united kingdom of Egypt, oft pictured in a heraldic fashion. Nekhbet is even more closely identified with vultures than Mut is, who I’ve said before I like to imagine as a white lioness woman (in a vulture headdress), meanwhile Nekhbet Herself is entirely vulture or at least vulture-headed in my UPG. She was invoked for childbirth and healing, could wield arrows, and functioned as Ra’s guide during His daily journey to the West. Wadjet is the uraeus or iaret, “the risen one,” a symbol of royal power; She was one of Heru-sa-Aset’s wet-nurses, and She is the personified Eye of Ra in the world, enacting His will onto it. She was the one who brought back Shu and Tefnut to Atum, and the one who grew angry with Atum enough that He had to appease Her by placing Her on his forehead as the uraeus.

Not for the first time, I wonder what the Netjeru think of the fact most of their hardcore worshipers these days aren’t actually Egyptian in nationality, or even by heritage. I bring this up because Nekhbet and Wadjet are so importantly tied to the idea of the ancient kingdom of Kemet, but it just plain doesn’t exist anymore; I do not know a ton about modern-day Egypt as a country and people, other than I’ve heard they’re very warm and welcoming folks, but I’m pretty sure the majority of them are Muslim now. Were any of the Netjeru ever sad about how their followers left them behind? I know they must have adapted to the times, I don’t see how any god can’t (except for the Christian god; one of the most irritating things about Christianity while I was part of it was that everyone kept insisting the Bible isn’t outdated, or isn’t misinterpreted, when it clearly fucking was...but I won’t start ranting about that right now).

I hope the Netjeru know and understand how much I adore Them. I’m sure They must...

Day 17: Ra!
