Mehet-Weret

[3] Geraldine Pinch suggests that Mehet-Weret was also 'probably' the Milky Way in the night sky, to correspond with her identification as the celestial waters travelled by the solar barque.

She is depicted dressed in a number of ritual items as a way to denote her divine standing; a flail rises out of her back.

In one image Khonsu is depicted bowing and adoring her, in the other a small Horus head lies in front of her on her dais.

In this spell she was credited for the birth of Re, and she is also the one who protects Re, because it was believed by the ancient people of Egypt that the sun died every day and was reborn by Mehet-Weret.

The people of Egypt believed that Mehet-Weret was a goddess of creation and rebirth, so she was featured in one of the spells to help the humans make their way into the afterlife.
