Nehmetawy

Nehmetawy (nḥm.t-ˁw3ỉ; "she who embraces those in need") is a goddess in the ancient Egyptian religion. She is not very widely known. Nehmetawy was the wife of snake god Nehebkau, or in other places of worship, like in Hermopolis, the wife of Thoth. A local form of the god Horus called Horus-nefer " might have been viewed as the son of Thoth and Nehmetawy.
