WAIT WATCH THIS.

I actually finished that drawing of Ra and Wedjet from like. A month ago

YEAAHHHHHH

ANyways, small rant about the context of the drawing for all those who care; No, it's NOT Ra shielding his eyes from the sun, WHY would he do that

It's him and Wadjet (the giant snake )) making their way through the sandstorms of the Duat! It's said that Wadjet can serve as a type of umbrella/ shield for Ra with her hood whenever they go to the Duat together !!!!

And I also really wanted to practice drawing snakes/ specifically king cobras since those have been my favorite type of snake since I was like five

Wadjet and Nekhbet, the snake and vulture goddesses, are the fierce protectors of Lower and Upper Egypt. Despite the ups and downs of their relationship in the beginning, they learned to respect each other and eventually became inseparable, though they'd never admit it! They're always seen together, bickering over the smallest things, yet they never truly lose sight of one another. For this reason, they were granted the honor of forming a unique divine dyad, representing harmony and peace between the two faces of Kemet.

Nekhbet and Wadjet are one of the most fascinating pairs in Egyptian mythology. Now, same-sex divine pairs aren't as uncommon as one might think in the Egyptian mythology.

While many gods are paired in male-female couples, there are also examples of same-gender partnerships or dyads that have been reinterpreted in modern times, such as that of Isis and Nephthys, Set and Horus, or even Horus and Sobek in their shared cult at Kom Ombo. However, many of these pairings are based more on political or theological symbolism than romantic intent.

Nekhbet and Wadjet are not sisters. They are two distinct goddesses from two different regions: Nekhbet from Upper Egypt (symbolized by the vulture) and Wadjet from Lower Egypt (represented as a cobra). Together, they form the couple of the "Two Ladies", a powerful symbol of a unified Egypt.

In House of the Sun, their bond follows the logic of the Cosmic Order: despite being opposites in many ways (and clashing more often than they agree!) they eventually become inseparable. Over time, what began as a duty partnership and an initial rivalry, blossoms into something deeper. Eventually, what was once a heated rivalry blossoms into a love so deep it unites all Egypt into one.

i was reading about the ancient egyptian goddess hathor because i was drawing her and got distracted and i read this, "One myth tells that Ra had become so despondent that he refused to speak to anyone. Hathor (who never suffered depression or doubt) danced before him exposing her private parts, which caused him to laugh out loud and return to good spirits." which you know, it's just a myth but i can stop imagining it like this:

Wadjet: I think my dad's depressed he's not talking to me, or anyone for that matter.

Hathor: Oh no! I should cheer him up!

Wadjet: Good id-

Hathor: I'm gonna show him my tits and vulva.

Wadjet: Excuse m-?

*sound of hooves tapping then clothes sliding then falcon-like laughing and cawing from the next room over*

Wadjet: Huh.
