This awesome sketch art card of Wadjet from Egyptian Mythology is drawn by the very talented artist Sha-Nee Williams :iconpaine128: for our Classic Mythology III trading card set.




Wadjet – Egyptian Mythology – Wadjet was said to be the patron and protector of Lower Egypt and upon unification with Upper Egypt, the joint protector and patron of all of Egypt with the "goddess" of Upper Egypt. The image of Wadjet with the sun disk is called the uraeus, and it was the emblem on the crown of the rulers of Lower Egypt. The uraeus originally had been her body alone, which wrapped around or was coiled upon the head of the pharaoh or another deity. She was also the protector of kings and of women in childbirth. As the patron goddess, she was associated with the land and depicted as a snake-headed woman or a snake—usually an Egyptian cobra, a poisonous snake common to the region; sometimes she was depicted as a woman with two snake heads and, at other times, a snake with a woman's head. Her oracle was in the renowned temple in Per-Wadjet that was dedicated to her worship and gave the city its name.
