A moon goddess of writing and measurement, Seshet was believed to keep a daily account of human lives, stars in the sky, grains of sand, and fishes in the sea. She was also thought to record the actions of all people on the leaves of the sacred persea tree. It was thought that when mortal scribes committed words to paper, Seshet received a copy and catalogued it with the gods.

She was believed to be the inventor of astronomy and mathematics, and was also patroness of all forms of writing, including accounting, auditing, and the taking of census. Seshet protected temple libraries and other collections of texts. In the afterlife Seshet provided a house for the spirits of the dead.

Seshet played a prominent role in the pedj shes (“Stretching the Cord”) ceremony, an essential part of the founding or expansion of sacred structures. She was credited with the design of the pyramid. Mathematics were considered sacred to Seshet, and this knowledge was not shared beyond the ranks of the highest professionals such as architects and certain scribes.

Seshet was thought to be the sister-wife-daughter of Thoth.
