Neith is a goddess of war and hunting, but also
of domestic arts such as weaving. She stands
guard over the bodies of fallen soldiers and
is responsible for teaching humanity how to make
the weapons of war. From her loom, she also
weaves bandages and shrouds for wounded or slain
warriors, and in this aspect she is venerated as a
funerary goddess. Neith is the protector of the
stomach, and guards the canopic jar that holds
this organ. A divinity of creation, Neith is
said to weave the world on her loom every
day, though Ptah and Ra are more usually
venerated as creators.
Neith is also a water deity, and as Wadjet is the embodiment of the River Sphinx, Neith is goddess of the oceans that surround Osirion. While on a long hunt in the desert, Neith encountered Set, and their meeting resulted in the birth of a son, the crocodile god Sobek. Neith is respected for her wisdom, and on many occasions has served as a mediator between Horus and Set. Neith appears as a woman wearing a red deshret crown. She is occasionally depicted wearing armor, and always carries a bow and arrows.
Hunters, rangers, sailors, smiths, soldiers, and warriors all worship Neith as their patron. Clerics of Neith are usually skilled smiths or weavers, or both, and like their goddess, they do not marry.
Alignment: NG goddess of hunting, war, and weaving.
Weapon: Shortbow (normal or composite).
Symbol: A shield and two crossed arrows.
Animal: Bee.
