✦ Personality Traits
✦ About
Nephthys is the goddess of mourning, darkness, and protection of the dead. Sister of Isis, Osiris, and Set, she plays a crucial role in funerary rites and the journey of souls to the afterlife.
Though married to Set, Nephthys aided Isis in gathering Osiris's scattered body and performed the first mourning rites. Her protective wings are often depicted sheltering the deceased, guiding them safely through the underworld.
She represents the necessary darkness that accompanies death, the comfort found in mourning, and the protective love that extends even beyond life.
✦ Famous Story
When Set scattered Osiris's body across Egypt, Nephthys joined her sister Isis in the search. Together they found every piece, and Nephthys's mourning cries were so powerful they helped restore Osiris to a form of life in the underworld.
