Egyptian Frog Goddess Heket | |
|
Egyptian Museum,
Cairo. 664-332 B.C.
The Goddess Heket,
who was represented
in the form of an
Egyptian frog or with
a frog’s head, was
worshipped especially
in the town of Hew-
Wer as the female
complement of Khnum.
Together with other
Gods she assisted in
fashioning the child
in the womb and
presided over the
birth in her capacity
of midwife. Amulets
and scarabs worn by
women to protect them
during childbirth
often bear the image
of the Frog Goddess.
The life-giving
powers of Heket
enabled her to be
adopted as a benign
deity fit to
accompany Osiris, in
whose temble at
Abidos she receives
wine from King Seti I
and is
labelled “Mistress of
the Two Lands”.
