She was associated with the western cardinal point (the west was associated with death and rebirth).
“She Who Lets Throats Breathe”, or conversely “she who
stiffens (paralyses) the throat”.
According to the Pyramid Texts she was the mother of
Nehebkau, the snake god who protected the pharaoh from snakebites. She was
closely associated with Isis and her sister Nephthys because of her connection
with magic and the underworld. In Edfu she was said to be the wife of Horus and
the mother of Horakhty (Horus of the Horizon).
