Mistress of the Stars

Nut, the Sky Goddess, is the mother of the stars and the protector of the dead. She arches across the heavens, forming the boundary between the worlds of the living and the divine. Each night she swallows the sun, and each morning she gives birth to it again, maintaining the eternal rhythm of order and renewal. In the Book of the Dead, Nut is invoked as the one who receives the deceased into her celestial body, granting them rest, nourishment, and safe passage through the afterlife. Her star-filled form symbolizes both the womb and the cosmos — a divine space where death is transformed back into life.
