Hemsut

Hemsut (Hemuset) was the Egyptian Goddess of Fate, destiny and protection. She was closely associated with the concept of the ka (life force or spirit) and could be seen as the female personification of the masculine ka.

She was generally depicted as a woman bearing a shield with two crossed arrows above it (which is similar to the symbol of Neith). Occasionally, she is depicted as a woman kneeling and holding a child in her arms. In Sais her connection with Neith was even closer and she could also be seen as a personification of the creative potential in the waters of Nun from which Neith created the world.
