Anput ~ Amunet ~ Anat by Zombiegrrll on DeviantArt (original) (raw)

Anput is the goddess of funerals and mummification, the mother of Kebechet and possibly from Ammit, also she is the female counterpart of the god Anubis. She is also a goddess of the seventeenth nome of Upper Egypt. She is depicted as a woman wearing a standard topped by a jackal, or as a large black dog or jackal. Probably the most notable example is that of the triad of Menkaure, Hathor and Anput. She was occasionally depicted as a woman with the head of a jackal, but this is very rare. Her symbols are the jackal, canopic jars and mummy gauze.

Amunet is a primordial goddess in Ancient Egyptian religion. She is a member of the Ogdoad. Her name, meaning "the female hidden one", was simply the feminine form of Amun's own name. She is depicted as a woman wearing the Red Crown and carrying a staff of papyrus.

Anat was especially worshiped in her aspect of a war goddess, often paired with the goddess Ashtart. The name of Anat-her, a shadowy Egyptian ruler of this time, is derived from "Anat". She is sometimes called "Queen of Heaven". She is usually shown carrying one or more weapons.
