"I am giving praise to Taweret, Lady of Heaven, Lady of Nourishment,
Mistress of Household Provisions, Lady of Marriage, Mistress of the Dowry,
In order that she might give a long life, endurance upon earth, and joy,
While my house is richly provided with nourishment such as she gives,
While my eyes see her beauty . . .
The beautiful character, the Kindly One, Beloved of God."
- Hymn to Taweret

Perhaps the oldest of the Egyptian goddesses, Taweret was the protector during childbirth and of little children, and held back wild wind storms, especially those that arose at sea.

Taweret was very popular among the Egyptians as a protectress; pregnant women commonly wore amulets bearing this goddess’s image. Taweret is shown holding a torch and lighting incense cones to provide light and heat for the deceased traveling through the underworld.

Our first reference to Taweret comes from the ancient Pyramid Texts, where the king asks that he may nurse at her breast so that he would “neither thirst nor hunger forever.”

In ancient Egyptian astronomy, she represented the circumpolar stars of Ursa Minor and Draco (the Little Dipper formed her back), and guarded the northern sky.

Taweret’s head and body were that of a hippopotamus, her paws were that of a lioness, and her back was that of a crocodile. All three animals were regarded as fierce creatures that would kill to protect their young.

Taweret was thought to be the daughter of Ra. She was sometimes considered the mother of Osiris (by Amun) and Isis, and the wife of Sobek, Set, and Bes.
