God Nehebu-Kau

God Nehebu-Kau
A snake-god, He who rules the spirits, whose indomitability is a source of protective cover both in Egypt and in the Underworld. In  the  Pyramid Texts  Nehebu-Kau  is addressed son  of  Selkis ,  the scorpion-goddess,  stressing  his  role in later  spells  of  reconstructing  the  health of victims  of  venomous  bites.  Protective of  royalty,  Nehebu-Kau  receives  the crowned head  in  the Afterlife  and  supplies  a meal. A Middle Kingdom spell describes the gone with this snake-god who is not taken to any magic, nor vulnerable to fire  and  water.  One  author  of  his  power consists  in  the  magical  force  of  the  number seven in  the  seven cobras  which he buried.  In  a  spell  concerning  the welfare  of  his  heart  in  the Afterlife,  the gone requests other gods to give him a good recommendation to Nehebu-Kau. There  is  a  touch  in  the  Old Kingdom that Nehebu-Kaus  power takes  to  be controlled by the sun-deity Atum promoting a fingernail on the snakes spine. Another custom makes Nehebu-Kau the son of the earth-god Geb and the harvest-goddess Renenutet. Consequently his chthonic  and  rich  power  provides other gods with their vital force.

God Weneg

A son of the sun-deity Ra determined in Old Kingdom texts. He seems to play the cosmic  order, rather alike Ras daughter Maat, by enduring the sky and so keeping the effects of chaos from crashing down onto the earth. He is also a judge of other gods, plausibly distributing the cosmic laws of Ra.

God Buchis
The ancient Egyptian sacred bull residing in  Erment (Hermonthis) and belowground at the necropolis of the center, Buchis was considered a Theophany or early form of the god Montu, and then designated as a manifestation of the Theban God Amun. Any bull  chose  for  the  temple  ceremonies  had  to  have  a white body and a black head from birth. A burying ground left for these animals was visited the Buchum and dominated coffins with lids weighing up to 15 tons for the continues. Other tombs were engraved out of walls to catch the animals bodies. The Buchis bull was bid the Bull of the Mountains of Sunrise and Sunset.
