Renenutet (also known as Termuthis, Ernutet, Renenet) was a cobra goddess from the Delta area. She was a powerful goddess, whose gaze destroyed her enemies. However, the ancient Egyptians had no reason to fear her as she offered them protection in many areas of their life.

Renenutet

She was depicted either as a woman, a cobra or a woman with the head of a cobra wearing a double plumed headdress or the solar disk. She was also depicted with a lions head, like Hathor in her form of the “Eye of Ra”. In the underworld she became a fearsome fire-breathing cobra who could kill with one gaze.
