Auset, throne of sovereignty, the Great Enchantress, and Sapdet, the star Sirius who governs the calendar, whose rising with the sun signals the Nile inundation. TaWeret, goddess of birth, cosmic center; Anuket of Nubia; Tefnut; Heket; Seshat; Bast; Wadjet, Nekhebet; Mut; Meretseger, and more.

Neit the Great, the Divine Mother... the great Cow |the fashioner of Ra | greater is her name than those of all gods and goddesses | the primordial One | eldest of the primeval gods | she who made that which is; | she who created that which exists... —Litany of Neit

To Neit who rose in Nun while the Earth was in darkness.
To Neit the living ancestor who took origin in Nun, b
Before the creation of Earth and the raising of Heaven.
To Neit the genitrix, the cobra who was in the beginning,
The Mother of the primordial time, she who created her own birth...
