The
Goddess Heket, who was represented in the form of an Egyptian frog or
with a frog’s head, was worshipped especially in the town of Hew-Wer as the
female complement of Khnum. Together with other Gods she assisted in
fashioning the child in the womb and presided over the birth in her
capacity of midwife. Amulets and scarabs worn by women to protect them
during childbirth often bear the image of the Frog Goddess.
The
life-giving powers of Heket enabled her to be adopted as a benign deity fit to
accompany Osiris, in whose temble at Abidos she receives wine from King Seti I
and is labeled “Mistress of the Two Lands”.
