#tjenenet

[headlessmage]

Great Mistress of Magic,

The Primeval One,

I call out to you!

She who gives birth to the gods,

The Lady of Victory,

Divine Tjenenet!

She who hears all pleas,

And unites them with her plans,

Hear my prayers!

“Tjenenet-Raet-tawy Who resides in Southern On-Heliopolis” (translation of the two rows of hieroglyphs on the top right. Southern On-Heliopolis here is Hermonthis)   Temple of Hathor and Maat at west 'Uaset'-Thebes, detail from the north wall of the Pronaos: the Goddess Tjenenet-Raet-tawy, wearing the Solar disk with cow's horns, holding the 'Ankh', and raising Her left in blessing. (the image of the Goddess has been impiously hammered by the christians...)

Who is Tjenenet? I’ve never heard that name before

Tjenenet is a goddess of labor and fertility (and has been seen as one of the Wandering Goddesses and Eye of Ra). However, she has an interesting connection to rebirth and initiation. Her name is also used as a title of Aset, which coincides with my UPG that she is a magician like Aset.

The most interesting thing however, is that her ritual spaces and cults were for initiated women only.

I might make a more in depth post on her soon!

Hathor chapel at Deir el Medina (by Horus3)

The goddess Tjenenet supports Montu-Ra Horakhty (if I'm reading that right) in the Temple of Hathor at Deir el Medina.
