  1. SERQET SCORPION GODDESS By: S. Hull

  2. Serqet Serqet was a benevolent scorpion goddess.

  3. Serqet Serqet was one of the dangerous goddess of ancient Egypt

  4. She was generally viewed as a protective goddess, but also had her darker side. Serqet was thought to have power over venomous snakes and scorpions, like Meretseger and Isis. It was thought that she could protect a person from venomous bites, and also that she could send snakes and scorpions to meet out punishment to those of whom she disapproved. She was originally worshiped in the Delta, but her popularity spread throughout the land and cult centres were established at Djeba (Edfu) and Per-Serqet (Pselkis, el Dakka). However, no temples specifically dedicated to her has been recovered.
