ennead

Nut is the God of the Sky, child of Tefnut and Shu, sister and partner to Geb, the mother of Osiris, Isis, Nephthys, and Seth, and grandmother of Horus and Anubis.

Appearance

Nut is a tall woman with pale greenish-blue skin, and long, wavy dark hair, covered in white stars.[1][2] Her skin sometimes turns pinkish in places.[3] She has completely black eyes, and her lower lip is yellow-orange. She wears a black thread tiara with a glowing white gem or stone at the center.

She wears a long translucent black sheath skirt covered in white stars that stops at a black belt with a white glowing gem or stone just under her chest.[1][3] The train is quite long.[3] She wears long black arm coverings that match her skirt. She wears a yellow-orange collar to match her lip, with a connected necklace of black threads and glowing white gems or stones at the intersections.

Personality

Nut typically appears visibly sad and distressed, but is also quite quiet.

Life

At some point, Thoth goes to Nut for advice and practice on courting Maat.[4]

Nut and Geb fall in love, become husband and wife, and want to have children, but Thoth tells Ra a prophecy that their children would change the fate of Egypt.[4][5] Ra curses Nut to be unable to bear children.[4][5] They are parted for years, unable to see each other.[4] Nut asks Thoth for help. Thoth plays senet with Ra and wins, making Ra cover her eyes for four days, wherein Nut bears her four children: Osiris, Isis, Nephthys, and Seth.[5] Together, Ra, Tefnut, Shu, Nut, Geb, Osiris, Isis, Nephthys, and Seth form the Ennead.

After Seth takes the throne of Egypt from Osiris, Isis goes on the run. Seth wreaks atrocities searching for her, destroying Egypt, and upsetting Nut. Nut wakes up Geb, and together they search for and eventually find Isis and Horus. Nut takes Isis and Horus to Thoth for help, and he advises that Horus needs someone to strengthen him. When Nut asks how to quell the anger of the gods against Isis, Thoth advises her to go to Ra.

Horus stays at Nut's temple, gaining her protection, and attempts to learn how to become a god.[6]

Nut confronts Seth alongside the other gods before the trial between Seth and Horus.[7] She attends the trial in part as an observer,[1] and to help Horus.[3]

During the first match, she and Isis initially stand near each other to observe.[3] Nut worries, as, although Horus has her protection, there is no sky underwater for her protection to work.

Nut is horrified and distressed when Seth's curse on Anubis is revealed.

When Horus is in dire straits at the Temple of Isis in Abu Gorab, he asks for Nut's help.[8] Nut uses her powers to do something to Horus, telling him to tell the humans the will of the gods.

Powers

Nut can form herself into a giant face in the clouds.[7] She can also create storms.[9]

Nut can grant her protection to other people, which appears to come in the form of wind powers.[3] She requires visual access through the sky to do it: this makes the protection weak to nonexistent underwater. Her protection also appears to work better on divine beings.

Relationships

Geb

Geb cares for Nut and is territorial over her (he grows annoyed when Isis tells him that Thoth and Nut were lovers in the past, and that Thoth told Ra the prophecy to get Geb out of his way, out of jealousy).[4] Nut and Geb sometimes work together.[5]

Horus

Horus has Nut's protection.

Isis

Nut is supportive of Isis, and Isis relies on Nut, particularly to protect Horus.

Seth

Seth seems to care for his mother on some level. Nut is horrified by Seth's actions.

Thoth

Thoth and Nut are friends, in large part due to Thoth needing help in courting practice for Maat.[4] Although he told Ra the prophecy that led to Ra cursing Nut, it was only because Ra kept interfering in Ra courting Maat, and Ra asked for a prophecy in exchange for Ra to stop meddling. Thoth later helps Nut get around the curse.[5]
