Who are Some Egyptian Goddesses?
Egyptian mythology is rich in symbolism and has a nearly endless line of gods and goddesses who populated the hearts and minds of ancient Egyptians for more than 3,000 years. Women held a particularly high status in mythology and were powerful symbols that guided the culture and religion of the time. Often, Egyptian goddesses held superior positions over male gods and were granted great power and influence. The duality of the female character in Egyptian mythology is interesting: many Egyptian goddesses were givers of life and encompassed the nurturing aspects of the female, while others were fierce warriors and defenders. Some Egyptian goddesses encompassed both aspects during the evolution that many of the goddesses underwent over centuries of worship.
