(Egyptian) from Renenutet, Renenet, Ernutet, Thermuthis, Thermouthis,
Termuthis. “She Who Rears” was a cobra goddess of nursing or rearing
children, fertility and protector of the Pharaoh. Known as the
“Nourishing Snake,” she not only was a goddess who was sometimes shown
nursing a child, but she offered her protection to the Pharaoh in the
Land of the Dead. In later times she was thought to be the goddess who
presided over the eighth month of the Egyptian calendar, known by Greek
times as Parmutit.
