EGYPTIAN MYTHOLOGY

Amun-Ra

Originally he was simply nothing more than a concept of air, and wind, one of the four fundamental concepts that have composed the universe, in the Ogdoad cosmogeny, whose cult was strongest in Hermopolis. His name means the hidden one, reflecting the invisibility of the air, and of the wind. Like all other members of the Ogdoad, his male aspect was usually depicted as a bird, or bird-headed. Symbolically, invisibility was represented by the color blue, since it was the color of the sky, seen through the air, and so this was the color usually given to Amun's image.

Eset

Came from lower Egypt, she stood for love, magic, motherhood, children, medicine and peace. People ask her to make marriages happy, and with time she also joined the Osiris cult as his consort. She was the goddess with a throne upon her head and her name simply meant "seat". Like Hathor she could also wear the sun disc within two cow-horns and a cobra. Her parents were Nut and Geb, and she was sister to Osiris, Set and Nephtys. Her temples were found all over Egypt and her very popular worshipping was continued by the Greeks and Romans.
