Egyptian Sky

Egyptian Sky 30x20

Egyptian Sky 30x20 By Siamack Bahreini

Nut, Sky Goddess, Mother of the Gods...

Homage to thee, O thou who hast come as Khepera, Khepera the creator of the gods, Thou art seated on thy throne, thou rises up in the sky, illumining thy mother [Nut], thou art seated on thy throne as the king of the gods. [Thy] mother Nut stretched out her hands, and performed an act of homage to thee.

In Egyptian mythology, Nut was the sky goddess and the mother goddess of ancient Egypt. Egyptian artists often portrayed her as a woman arched over the earth god Geb, her twin brother and husband, with her fingers and toes touching the ground.

 

In one myth, Nut gives birth to the Sun god daily and he passes over her body until he reaches her mouth at sunset. He then passed into her mouth and through her body and is reborn the next morning. Another myth described the sun as sailing up her legs and back in the Atet (Matet) boat until noon, when he entered the Sektet boat and continued his travels until sunset.

Nut (goddess)

Behold, I rejoice on my standard, on my seat.
I am the creator of darkness,
making his place in the limits of the sky,
the ruler of infinity.
I rejoice in the lord of the palace.My nest is unseen; I have broken the egg.
I am the lord of millions of years.
I have made my nest in the limits of the sky,
and descended to the earth as the Goose,
who drives out all sins.
