#selqet

Hail oh mighty Serqet, mighty and powerful Serqet

Goddess of life and death, goddess without equal and without weakness

My blood is at your mercy, my blood and my breath

Oh mother of scorpions, devourer of demons, Lady of Power and Strength

May your burning touch destroy all enemies

May the flash of your daggers strike fear in their hearts

And may your hand of compassion touch our own hearts

Oh fierce and cunning mistress of poison

Great weaver of spells and wielder of darts

Grant your presence, power and wisdom to us your children

As you did protect and guide our mother Aset

Purge us of the evils in our body and souls

And we shall carry your name, high and glorious

In egyptian and nubian mythology, Selqet is the goddess of scorpions, venoms, curatives, healing, and burial

In one myth prominently featuring Selqet, she was a protectress for Auset and her newborn Heru.

"Untitled" which is inspired by the following dream I had about Selket, whom I've never interacted with before now:

I had a dream of being at some train station at night and there were people trying to attack this dog sized scorpion. My dad was angry and tried to protect it while I watched it crawl around.

Then it switched to me being in some dark and dirty room with a bed. Now there were 2 scorpions, each on top of a person I think. One of them was fake and it was on top of some asshole trying to convince me to kill the real one. I smacked him and the fake scorpion with a broom before gently petting the real one with it.

I then woke up briefly, unable to get the image of the scorpion out of my head until I felt the impulse to shuffle my oracle deck to decipher if it was Neith or Selket. Then I saw the image of a beast that had the upper body of a woman and the lower body of a scorpion. She had a sculpted face and a curious but playful demeanor.
