In Egyptian mythology, Sekhmet is a warrior goddess as well as goddess of medicine. Sekhmet is also a solar deity, sometimes given the epithet 'the eye of Ra'. She is often associated with the goddesses Hathor and Bastet. Sekhmet is said to breathe fire, and the hot winds of the desert were likened to her breath. She is also believed to cause plagues (which were described as being her servants or messengers) although she is also called upon to ward off disease and heal the sick.
In Norse mythology, Skaưi is a jƶtunn and goddess associated with bowhunting, skiing, winter, and mountains. Skaưi is the daughter of the deceased Ćjazi, and Skaưi married the god Njƶrưr as part of the compensation provided by the gods for killing her father Ćjazi. In Heimskringla, Skaưi is described as having split up with Njƶrưr and as later having married the god Odin, and that the two produced many children together. In both the Poetic Edda and the Prose Edda, Skaưi is responsible for placing the serpent that drips venom onto the bound Loki.
