I find something really calming about Heket. I like frogs too. And green is my favourite colour. There is something about Heket :)
- She is the divine midwife of Ancient Egypt, the protector of new life.
- Depicted as a frog or a woman with the head of a frog.
- She was frequently invoked to bring protection to the process of childbirth, or to defend the family unit and guard the home.
- Women would wear amulets and scarabs with her image during childbirth, and she brought relief to mothers.
- Her influence brings the first signs of life, the quickening, to the unborn child and hastens the last stages of labour.
- Midwives were often given the title 'servants of Heket' in honour of their work.
- Her colours are green and pink.
