Nephthys 287 Leave a comment
The origin of the goddess Nephthys is unclear but the literal translation of her name is usually given as “Lady of the House,” which has caused some to mistakenly identify her with the notion of a “housewife,” or as the primary lady who ruled a domestic household. This is a pervasive error repeated in many commentaries concerning this deity. Her name means quite specifically, “Lady of the [Temple] Enclosure” which associates her with the role of priestess.
“Ascend and descend; descend with Nephthys, sink into darkness with the Night-bark. Ascend and descend; ascend with Isis, rise with the Day-bark.”
Pyramid Text Utterance 222 line 210
Jessica Levai notes, ‘while Nephthys’s marriage to Set was a part of Egyptian mythology, it was not a part of the myth of the murder and resurrection of Osiris. She was not paired with Set the villain, but with Set’s other aspect, the benevolent figure who was the killer of Apophis. This was the aspect of Set worshiped in the western oases during the Roman period, where he is depicted with Nephthys as co-ruler.’
It is Nephthys who assists Isis in gathering and mourning the dismembered portions of the body of Osiris, after his murder by the envious Set. Nephthys also serves as the nursemaid and watchful guardian of the infant Horus. The Pyramid texts refer to Isis as the “birth-mother” and to Nephthys as the “nursing-mother” of Horus. Nephthys was attested as one of the four “Great Chiefs” ruling in the Osirian cult-center of Busiris, in the Delta.
Nephthys was also a beer Goddess and this may go somewhat to explaining her title of Lady of the temple as beer was often drank at festivals and rituals. Nephthys is a goddess who gives the Pharaoh power to see “that which is hidden by moonlight.” This fits well with more general textual themes that consider Nephthys to be a goddess whose unique domain was darkness, or the perilous edges of the desert. Nephthys was considered the unique protectress of the Sacred Phoenix, or the Bennu Bird. This role may have stemmed from an early association in her native Heliopolis, which was renowned for its “House of the Bennu” temple. In this role, Nephthys was given the name “Nephthys-Kheresket,” and a wealth of temple texts from Edfu, Dendera, Philae, Kom Ombo, El Qa’la, Esna, and others corroborate the late identification of Nephthys as the supreme goddess of Upper Egyptian Nome VII, where another shrine existed in honor of the Bennu.
the Bennu was a self-created being said to have played a role in the creation of the world. It was said to be the ba (soul) of Ra and enabled the creative actions of Atum. It was said to have flown over the waters of Nun that existed before creation, landing on a rock and issuing a call that determined the nature of creation. It was also a symbol of rebirth and was therefore associated with Osiris.
Nephthys in the natal chart is associated with nurturing potential, seeing what is unseen i.e. potential talents and gifts still undiscovered and hidden from view that just need time and practice to develop and ripen where Isis creates Nephthys nurtures to fruition.
Nephthys in aspect to Sun indicates strong nurting nature and patience in dealing with children especially.
Nephthys in aspect to moon indicates strong intuitive understanding and empathy for others
Nephthys in aspect to Mercury indicates a strong sense of inner wisdom and intuitive insight
Nephthys in aspect to Venus indicates deep unconditional love for others may be used as a source of healing
Nephthys in aspect to Mars indicates strong intuitive abilities and drive to develop talents
And me, I have Nephthys on 5th house In Scorpio 7° 2' (sidereal Libra 12° 48')
Nephthys trine Moon 2° 4'
Nephthys trine Mars 3° 30'
Nephthys sextile Mercury 2° 55'
Nephthys sextile Uranus 1° 38
Nephthys square Psyche 0° 34
