The Two "Mary's" | The Goddess Nephthys | Kemetic Spirituality
The Kemetic story involving Nebt-Het and Ausar is intricately linked to the larger myth of Ausar, Auset and Set. Nebt-Het plays a supportive yet significant role in this narrative.
Nebt-Het
Nebt-Het, whose name means "Lady of the House," is a goddess associated with mourning, protection, and funerary rites. She is often depicted with the hieroglyphs of her name on her head, which symbolize a house and a basket. Nebt-Het is the sister of Auset, Ausar and Set, and the wife of Set. Although less prominent than her siblings, she is a crucial figure in the myth of Ausar.
SYMBOLISM
Loyalty and Devotion: Nebt-Het’s loyalty to her sister Isis and her devotion to Ausar, despite being Set's wife, underscore the themes of family loyalty and the strength of kinship. The involvement of Nebt-Het in the story of Ausar, Auset, and Set enriches the narrative, highlighting the themes of familial bonds, protection, and the cyclical nature of life and death. Her contributions, though often subtle, are crucial to the unfolding of this quintessential Kemetic myth.
