Welcome to my Birthing Temple!

I am the goddess of birth, presiding over the birthplace and the acting midwife for animals as well. I am personified by the birthing brick that the Egyptian women squatted on while giving birth. I am depicted as a woman with a stylistic cow's uterus on her head, just like the godess Anit. I am also goddess of fate and can read the destinies of children. All through infancy I guard the babies using protective powers and I am associated with the frog godess Heqet. I also appear in the Osiris Court in the Underworld when the heart of the deceased was being weighed before the final verdict. I am next to the scales as a human headed birthing brick where I testify to the character of the newly dead, since I gave them their destiny when they were born.
