Neit, who was said to have emerged from the primeval water to create the world, is one of the oldest Egyptian
Goddesses. Although the Egyptians believed that Neit was of both a
masculine and feminine nature, as she was self-produced, she was
usually depicted as a woman.
The Egyptians believed her to be an ancient and wise Goddess, to
whom the other Gods came if they could not resolve their own disputes.
Besides being the ruler of the lower Heavens, she was also the patron
to hunt and warfare, domestic arts, mysticism, as well as women and
marriage. All this makes her some kind of a �jane-of-all-trades.�
As a deity, Neit is often shown carrying a bow and arrows,
linking her to hunting and warfare, other times she is shown with a
sceptre, symbol of rule and power, and the ankh, symbol of life.
