Goddess Meskhenet, Or Mesenet, Or Meskhent

 





Meskhenet, sometimes Mesenet, Meskhent: Egyptian birth goddess.

Meskhenet, the patroness of healers and midwives, is the goddess of birth and children.



She utilizes her prophesy talents to divine an infant's fate and protects the kid until he or she reaches maturity.

Meskhenet continues to serve as a guardian in the afterlife, assisting with the soul's transition and rebirth into the underworld.
