#goddess tefnut

[ketrin1607]

Tefnut is the Egyptian goddess of moisture and rain. At first I thought of making a white tigress out of her (with the head of a white tigress) If you look at her lioness mask on Wikipedia, there are several black stripes on her muzzle, so at first I decided that she could act as a tigress)

But after looking through the information on the Internet, I discovered that tigers at that time, in principle, could not live in Africa, so I changed it to a white lioness. However, pure white would not be suitable for the goddess of moisture, and I decided to make a bluish shade of wool.

Hymn to Tefnut

To Tefnut of the waters I offer my praise. Daughter of Atum who spat you into being, beloved of Shu who shapes the sunlit sky, mother of starcrossed Nuit and Geb, ever yearning, ever parted, lady of the rain-cloud, lady of the morning dew, the mist upon the Nile, each drop of water is your treasure, O goddess. I call to you, O Tefnut, bearer of the sun-disk, O lioness of the Ennead, O Eye of Ra, wanderer in distant realms, defender from disorder, smiter of the foes of Ma'at, O goddess who leaves and yet returns, whose absence saddens all the land, whose presence is a blessing, O goddess who is distant and yet ever near. I honor you, O Tefnut, I thank you for your many gifts; I pray to you, O goddess.

To Tefnut

Tefnut of the cool waters, bride of lofty Shu, I call to you, O soother of the fevered soul, lady of the rains, daughter of bright-crowned Atum whose pleasure brought you into being, enthroned you are with the great and noble nine whose names were called in love and prayer within the city of the sun. O wise and gracious mother of star-strewn Nut and Geb of the fertile lands, I thank you for a life made good, I thank you for your many blessings. Tefnut, I praise your kindness and your might, I pray for your favor.
