Tiny Heqet Because fertility froggy (hahahaha)
I’m delving into some lesser known deities now, so here’s a brief explanation of what I know about Heqet. She was the wife of khnum (rammy), and to the Egyptians, frogs represented fertility, as they born by the millions whenever the Nile flooded! So, fertility goddess. Plus some crops behind her for good measure. Also, according to the myth of Osiris, Heqet breathed life into Horus’s body at birth. Neat.
