𝐇𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐲:
Heqet, in ancient Egyptian religion and mythology, a goddess who personified regeneration, rebirth, and fertility. Heqet was depicted in the form of a frog, as a frog-headed woman, or as a woman with the body of a frog.

The worship of the frog was one of the oldest cults in Egypt. Frog gods and frog goddesses were thought to have had a vital role in the creation of the world. Just prior to the annual flooding of the Nile River, frogs appeared in great numbers, which possibly led to their association with fecundity and with the beginning of life in the world. Frog amulets were common in ancient Egypt as charms for fertility. The Ogdoad (a group of eight gods) of the ancient city of Hermopolis inhabited the inchoate world before creation and consisted of four pairs of very early primeval gods and their corresponding goddesses, who represented water, darkness, uncertainty, and infinity. The gods were all depicted with the heads of frogs, while their female counterparts were depicted with the heads of serpents.
Heqet is mentioned in the Pyramid Texts of the Old Kingdom and is sometimes thought to have been a form of the goddess Nut. She may have originally been the female counterpart of the ram-headed creation god Khnum, who shaped the form of humans on a potter’s wheel, or of the crocodile god Sebek-Re of Kom Ombo. In her role as birth goddess, Heqet was also said to have been present at the conception of Hatshepsut, the female king of Egypt (c. 1473–58 BCE), witnessing the scene as Khnum formed Hatshepsut’s body on his potter’s wheel. Heqet also probably played a part in the myth of the rebirth of the god Osiris since she was depicted as sitting on a pedestal at the foot of his bier.
