WADJET
Egyptian Snake Goddess 🐍
Also known as Buto, Edjo, Uadjet, Uadjit, Udjo, Uto, Wadjyt
Extremely striking Snake Goddess
When we say striking we mean it. She is a deity in the form of a giant cobra.
Snake deities can either be nice or nasty. Actually this one is both. Mostly she is a beneficial protection deity who once looked after the infant Horus in the swamps as he was hidden from his uncle Set.
Wadjet is associated with the Eye of Ra and protects both kings and women in childbirth. She also formed an alliance with Nekhbet when they were known as the Nephthysti Formidable.
But she can also be a spiteful spitter. She has her own coiled snake which is trained to spit poison at whomsoever she directs. This may be good or bad for you – she can protect you from enemies – or the enemy might be you. Do not put your boots on until you have checked inside them.
