NEPHTHYS - Goddess of Preservation


Who was Nephthys?
  • Daughter of Geb and Nut, Sister of Osiris, Isis and Seth.
  • She was Seth's consort until he murdered Osiris.
  • She is mysterious and there is not as much known about her than there is about her siblings.
  • Was often described as the 'lady of the mansion'.
  • Embodied the healing power of grief as well as the gentle and silent guardianship of others.
  • Nephthys is the funerary goddess, concerned with the preservation and protection of the body after death.
  • She indicates the wisdom of retreating from life in order to grieve, reflect, receive new insights and recharge depleted energy.
  • Her colours are muted greens and silvery greys.
(Lawson 1996)
