Next is Anuket: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anuket

“Anuket was the ancient Egyptian goddess of the cataracts of the Nile and Lower Nubia in general, worshipped especially at Elephantine near the First Cataract.

Etymology

In ancient Egyptian, she was known as Anuket, Anaka, or Anqet. Her name meant the "Clasper" or "Embracer". In Greek, this became Anoukis (Ανουκις), sometimes also spelled Anukis. In the interpretatio graeca, she was considered equivalent to Hestia or Vesta.

in the beginning Anqet was the water goddess of Sudan whose name means "Embrace". This meant that during the annual flood of the Nile she would embrace the two banks of Nile and make them fertile. The two tributaries of the Nile were called the extended hands of goddess Anuket. which is why she was nicknamed, "The woman who embraces". The other titles of Anuket included "The woman who throws", which is basically an indication of the flood of the Nile. She was also known as "Life Giver" and "Women of the sky".

She gradually came to be known as the cupid goddess of ancient Egypt. Her features and signs of perverted tastes were found among worshippers & are similar to those of the Greek goddess Hestia, who swore to maintain her virginity and Artemis the skilled hunter-gatherer.”

>> Anuket surely changed a lot with time didn’t she? She went from the image of Hugging (because of the Nile Flooding the two banks = hugging them metaphorically) to playing a role similar to Cupid; with some “perverted” tastes among her worshipers = I wonder what that REALLY means. We somehow jumped from the chaste Hestia image to the erotic Aphrodite image of Anuket. If this is not mutation, I don’t know what is. Or was there a hidden secret about the nature of Anuket cult that was revealed later on?

“Depictions

Anuket was usually depicted as a woman with a headdress of either reed or ostrich feathers She was usually depicted as holding a sceptre topped with an ankh, and her sacred animal was the gazelle. She was also shown suckling the pharaoh through the New Kingdom and became a goddess of lust in later years. In later periods, she was associated with the cowry, especially the shell, which resembled the vagina.

>> The only notable here is her “association” with the Gazelle = horned animal. For the rest = face palm.

“History and roles

She was originally the daughter of Ra, but was always related to Satet in some way. For example, both goddesses were called the "Eye of Ra", along with Bastet, Hathor, and Sekhmet. Also, they were both related in some way to the Uraeus.”

>> Three very important sentences here:

Sentence 1: Anuket was the daughter of Ra = daughter of the Sun. For some unknown reason, she is always related to Satet = Satis….did you guess how this is connected? = the Antelope/Gazelle = the horns….this is how both deities were related “in some way”. I think this is indicating that both belonged to the same clan = the last mysterious Sebetti.

Sentence 2: Anuket, like Satis, was called the Eye of Ra: meaning she was a warrior and used a powerful weapon, just like Sekhmet and Hathor etc. were.

Sentence 3: Anuket and Satis were “in some way” (I’m starting to like this “in some way” – chuckles) were connected to the Uraeus. The Uraeus was made of the Wadjet (=Lightning depicted as a snake) and Nekhbet (= a ThunderBird warrior). I understand that Anuket is a warrior, she uses a weapon that emits electricity. Same goes for Satis by the way.

“Worship

Anuket was part of a triad with the god Khnum, and the goddess Satis. She may have been the sister of the goddess Satis or she may have been a junior consort to Khnum instead.

A temple dedicated to Anuket was erected on the Island of Seheil. Inscriptions show that a shrine or altar was dedicated to her at this site by the 13th Dynasty pharaoh Sobekhotep III. Much later, during the 18th Dynasty, Amenhotep II dedicated a chapel to the goddess.

During the New Kingdom, Anuket's cult at Elephantine included a river procession of the goddess during the first month of Shemu. Inscriptions mention the processional festival of Khnum and Anuket during this period.

Ceremonially, when the Nile started its annual flood, the Festival of Anuket began. People threw coins, gold, jewelry, and precious gifts into the river, in thanks to the goddess for the life-giving water and returning benefits derived from the wealth provided by her fertility. The taboo held in several parts of Egypt, against eating certain fish which were considered sacred, was lifted during this time, suggesting that a fish species of the Nile was a totem for Anuket and that they were consumed as part of the ritual of her major religious festival.”

>> Well anons, I want to put the Antelope/Gazelle as the unidentified last Sebetti. By the way, the iconography of Anuket doesn’t bring new information, so I simply put a couple of samples for researcher whom are interested in this.
