These are redraws of older pieces, Wadjet-Werethekau (Wadjet, Great of Magic), and Nefertem, Lord of Perfume. Wadjet my queen, and Nefertem my sweet... <3 Anyway, I'm redoing a bunch of old art, and started with the Kemetic Gods because I needed to.

Me when the god of earth and ground blatantly disobeys the principles of Ma'at by attacking and raping his mother, the goddess of moisture, then wears her Royal Ureas and im not ready to let him go unpunished so i rear up from the Ureas and attack him and all his followers, leaving all his followers dead and him badly injured.

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.

Wadjet: The Serpent Guardian of Lower Egypt

Wadjet stands as one of the oldest and most enduring goddesses of ancient Egypt, her identity rooted in the fertile marshlands of the Nile Delta. Known as the “Green One” and depicted as a rearing cobra, she began as the local deity of Dep (Buto) in Lower Egypt, where her worship dates back to the Predynastic era. Over time, her influence expanded far beyond a single city, evolving into a national emblem of sovereignty and divine protection.

Origins in the Delta Wadjet’s earliest cult flourished in the northern Delta, where the cobra’s presence shaped her symbolism. As the patron goddess of Lower Egypt, she embodied the land’s vitality and the instinctive, immediate power of a serpent poised to strike. Her association with the papyrus plant—another emblem of the Delta—reinforced her identity as a guardian of the region’s life-giving wetlands.

Protector of Kings and Kingdom With the unification of Upper and Lower Egypt, Wadjet’s role expanded dramatically. She became one of the “Two Ladies,” paired with Nekhbet, the vulture goddess of Upper Egypt. Together, they symbolized the pharaoh’s dominion over the entire land. Wadjet’s presence on the royal crown as the uraeus—the upright, flaring cobra—was more than decoration: it was a declaration of divine legitimacy and a promise of supernatural defense. The Egyptians believed the uraeus could spit fire at enemies, striking with the same speed and precision as the living cobra.

A Goddess of Protection in Every Sphere Although best known as the guardian of kings, Wadjet’s protective power extended to ordinary life. She was invoked to safeguard newborns, travelers, households, and sacred spaces. Her vigilance was imagined as constant and silent, mirroring the cobra’s ability to watch without being seen. This made her a deity of preemptive protection—one who acted before danger could manifest.

Symbols, Forms, and Syncretism Wadjet’s primary form was the cobra, often coiled around a papyrus stem, but her identity was fluid enough to merge with other protective deities. In some periods she was linked with Bastet, forming the composite Wadjet-Bast, depicted with the head of a lioness and the attributes of a cobra. This fusion emphasized her ferocity and her role as a defender in both physical and spiritual realms. After unification, her pairing with Nekhbet became a central motif of royal iconography, reinforcing the duality and unity of Egypt’s two lands.

Mythic Legacy and Enduring Presence Wadjet’s longevity in Egyptian religion speaks to the deep cultural resonance of her symbols. The cobra’s sudden strike, its silent watchfulness, and its protective aggression made it a natural embodiment of divine guardianship. Her myths and imagery persisted across dynasties, shaping the visual language of kingship and influencing later interpretations of Egyptian power. Even today, the uraeus remains one of the most recognizable emblems of ancient Egypt, a testament to Wadjet’s enduring legacy.

NW here. I recently had a reading by you on my purpose, and it was accurate. I would, however, include that I want to be the voice of those who are silenced ( not necessarily children). I had applied for jobs in that direction, but no luck/no responses yet. May I ask for a message from the goddess Wadjet, whether one of the companies reaches out to me, or whether I will land a similar job soon?

Hello NW!

It seems like you might be moving into a job soon where you will have the opportunity to learn from a figure of authority. However, the overall work environment doesn't seem like it will be particularly cohesive. It might make you feel burnt out.

I think the overarching theme here as well is that you are a person who genuinely cares. You have a fire in you that you want to use to make things right. You will learn how to channel and wield this strength of yours effectively, and will come to learn how to build an effective coalition in the long-term.

Glorious Wadjet wants you to be careful and patient with yourself. It takes time for a snake to shed its skin.

Hi, it’s me again M! I would like to participate again in your free Friday reading! Thank you so much! ☺️

My question this time is how the next 3 months look like for me hopefully to find a job to sign contract to already by that time!

Hello again M!

The Page of Pentacles looks promising job-wise. It is the card of apprenticeship and studentship, but this means that you must practice embodying the qualities of a good student so that you can grow into a master.

Keep your mind clear, and your intentions focused. When you feel anxiety or are uncertain of the expectations placed on you, seek clarity at every available opportunity. This will help build your knowledge and strengthen your position, instead of allowing it to become weakened by doubt and fear.
