I am young in the myth when I first go to Duat. I turn into a jackal, but with black fir instead of the normal golden color. My fur color is black because black is the color of the Underworld but also because its the color of the soil and that symbolizes fertility and life.
Nebet Hut
My mother loved me quite a bit. She taught me how to be stealthy and cooperative. She was not surprised the day I told her I wanted to go to Duat and rule the underworld. She was proud of me and I loved her a lot. She is the goddess of mystery and kept many secrets.
Set
My father Set is the goddess of chaos and anarchy. He killed my uncle Osiris for no reason, and I was very distraught and confused about it. But when my uncle died I met his soul and embalmed him myself. My father was not a kind man. He was very cruel and caused maelstroms everywhere.
Osiris(Usir)
My uncle Osiris came down to Duat and I embalmed his body. I eagerly allowed him to take my place as ruler of the underworld. I had no negative feelings toward my uncle.
Anubis, Your family sounds very intense and full of anger. Your mother seems like a nice goddess though... very trustworthy I presume?
ReplyDeleteYes, she was a very strong and powerful goddess. I learned a lot from her
DeleteWhy do you change into a jackal?
ReplyDeleteI don't necessarily "change" into a jackal, it is one of my forms. I took that form because of the desert dogs that would roam the graveyards and I learned so much from them.
