anubis plus 2

[morrigan]

this started with a dream/flash but I need to know more about who the 3 in the dream are as opposed to finding out what the dream/flash meant..thats why i posted here...

I had a very quick flash/lucid dream.. there were 3 of us.. (i was looking through the eyes of a female late teens to early 20's) I dont remember what was going on but i remember I yelled something along the lines of 'shut up ANUBIS' he was standing with someone else and for some reason the persons whos eyes i was seeing all of this through felt like a sister to anubis.. I dont know much about egyptian gods/goddesses so i was wondering if someone could tell me who the female and the other male in the flash were.. they all had heads of jackals like anubis... info on anubis would be more then welcome too if anyone has links to some sites i can look up..
later in the night i had another flash and i was looking through the eyes of the female again but she was only about 2 years old and she was following a male who was much older then her, it also felt like a relative, like a father.. any ideas who he could have been?
thanks.. Blessed Be ~Morrigan~

I have one thing to say: www.pantheon.org

Okay, two things: www.godchecker.com

Seriously, though, I don't recall Anubis having jackal-headed relatives.

[Khuinaset]

I think Yinepu has a brother, Wepawet (I'm not exactly sure on their relationship, though, so sorry if I'm wrong >_< ). Wepawet is more of a wolf than a jackal though, I think...I also remember the goddess Neith has the epithet Wepawet (which means "opener of the ways"), but she's never shown with a dog/jackal head.

[coyoger]

Anubis has a "brother" named Wepawet. Who is much the same as him, where Anubis guards one direction, Wepawet guards the other. Anubis has no sister, but does have a daughter. "The bringer of waters." Although I can't recall her proper name ATM.

ahh...I went looking for that, since you made me curious...

He was thought to have a daughter known as Kebechet (Kabechet, Kebehut), who was depicted as a snake or ostrich carrying water. She was the goddess of freshness and purification through water who washed the entrails of the deceased and brought the sacred water to Anubis for his tasks. She was thought to give water to the spirits of the dead while they waited for the mummification process to be complete. She was probably related to mummification where she would fortify the body against corruption, so it would stay fresh for reanimation by the deceased's ka.

thank you all.. you have all been a big help.. it may have been a daughter not sister.. it just felt like a very close family relationship.. may have explained the father daughter flash i had later during the night.. a clarification or sorts.. Blessed Be ~Morrigan~

Em hotep,

I have heard that Yinepu had a wife who was also jackal headed

The goddess Anput (Input, Inpewt, Yineput) - ynpwt inpwt - was the goddess of the 17th Nome of Upper Egypt, who was depicted as a woman wearing the jackal standard of her nome or a woman with the head of a jackal. She was believed to have been the wife of Anubis, and possibly the mother of Kebechet.

This paragraph is from this page:
Anubis, thekeep.org (http://www.thekeep.org/~kunoichi/kunoichi/themestream/anubis.html)

I know hardly anything about Her, unfortunately.

Wepwawet is often dual aspected with Yinepu. He looks exactly the same as Yinepu but is grey or brown rather than black.
I've heard a lot of people say that Wepwawet is associated more with the wolf than the jackal but I'm not too sure about that. *goes researching*

ok..

It was not unusual in ancient Egypt for more then one god to take the same form, with similar functions as another god. Wepwawet (Ophios, Upuaut), called the son of Isis, was one of several Egyptian deities to take the form of a canine, today often incorrectly identified as a wolf. Egyptologists now believe that he was more likely associated with the jackal, though he is often depicted with a gray or white head.

The rest of this article can be found here (http://www.touregypt.net/featurestories/wepwawet.htm)

A Greek source states that Wepwawet was associated with the wolf, as opposed to the jackal; no definitive answer is found in Kemetic sources.

Well. that makes 3 possible jackal headed deities. Hope it helps :)

Dreams are confusing at the best of times. Make sure there's nothing in the dream that you can associate to your current situation in life. It may have been a lesson of some kind :)

the dream itself made sence to me it was the ones in the dream that got my curiosity.. Iwork with The Morrigan as my goddess but have never worked much with male deities and have had a very strong pull to anubis for some time.. the dream itself was a kick in the butt to do something official as far as chosing a god/gods to work with...ty for your help :) blessed be ~Morrigan~

If Anubis is the son of Ra, and Hathor is the daughter of Ra, does that not make Anubis and Hathor brother and sister?


Edit: Ehh - take that back - I'm sleepy. Hathor is the mother/wife of Ra.

Yinepu (anubis) is most often the son of Wesir (osiris) and Nebt-Het (nephthys). He was raised as the son of Nebt-Het and Set for a while.. but heh. Issues with the whole Nebt-Het having an affair with Wesir thing (Seeing as Nebt-Het and Set were married).
Ra, I think, is often considered father of the gods. Grand high old grumpy kingoftheworld. I think I'd call him granddaddy of the gods myself.. but.. I won't.. lest He smote me *shifty eyes*. Not old.. just mature.. like fine red wine. uhrm.

There're all sorts of conflicting myths out there. But that's what they are.. myths. I don't think Wesir and Aset got married and went on a honeymoon and then had themselves a strapping young lad who's relatives fussed over him.. :wtf:
They have deeper meanings :)

Anywho.. I'm going to shut up now and stop rambling.
But then, where would the world be without a diversity of views and opinions :D
