I wanted to do this sort of personal mini-series where I talk about the Netjeru that I worship and how I worship them. The Netjeru are all gorgeous, divine beings and worshipping them has made my life so much more enjoyable and fulfilling.
So, who is Lady Wadjet?
Often depicted as an erect cobra with a sun disk on her head (or a woman with a cobra head), Wadjet was said to be the guardian of Lower Egypt, which made her a counterpart to Nekhbet, guardian of Upper Egypt.
There’s one myth about Wadjet that I know of: and that’s when she helps Aset protect Heru from his uncle Sutekh. They took refuge in the delta swamps of the Nile.
Wadjet was revered as the goddess of childbirth, a protector of women, and of kings as well. Her depiction as an erect cobra symbolizes her as being ready to strike against enemies. Her name means “green one”.
The uraeus—a protective symbol of a cobra atop a crown—symbolizes the divinity of royalty in Ancient Egypt. The uraeus represented Wadjet herself.
This blog is mostly so I can vent my feelings and share my interests. Other than that, I am nothing special.
If you don't like Left Wing political thought and philosophy, all things related to horror, the supernatural, the grotesque, guns or the strange, then get the fuck out. I just warned you.
