Andjety is the local god of the town Andjet (Greek Busiris) and the ninth nome; sources present him as one of the earliest Egyptian deities with possible prehistoric roots and as a regional divine figure whose functions and imagery were later assimilated into the broader Osiris cult. Pyramid and Coffin Text passages identify the deceased king with Andjety and invoke his name in contexts of revival and jurisdiction (e.g., Pyramid Texts 182, 220, 614; Coffin Texts IV-331, I-255, V-385), while temple inscriptions (e.g., Seti I) depict the syncretized Osiris‑Andjety receiving royal cult.
In survivals from textual and monumental evidence Andjety is depicted with regalia of rulership: the crook and flail and a crown similar to the Atef crown of Osiris; royal iconography includes representations of pharaohs (e.g., Sneferu) wearing the crown of Andjety. In some hieroglyphic forms his name-sign substitutes a stylized uterus for the usual feather, an alteration noted in source summaries.
Textual attestations portray Andjety as a funerary and regenerative figure invoked for revival, vindication, and jurisdiction over eastern nomes. Coffin and Pyramid Text formulas identify the dead king with Andjety and call for renewal (Pyramid Text 614: "Horus has revived you in this your name of Andjety") and juridical vindication (Coffin Text IV-331 asks Thoth to vindicate Osiris in a tribunal linked to Andjety). A Coffin Text (V-385) links Andjety to renewal and fertility imagery ("I immerse the waterways as Osiris, Lord of corruption, as Adjety, bull of vultures"). Andjety is treated as a precursor or local manifestation of Osiris and is depicted syncretically (Osiris‑Andjety) in temple ritual contexts.
Osiris
Osiris is the major ancient Egyptian god of fertility, vegetation, death, resurrection, and the afterlife. He functions as sovereign of the realm of the dead, a guarantor of postmortem renewal and agricultural fertility, and the archetypal divine figure with whom deceased kings and mortals ritually unite to gain continuity after death.
Isis
Isis is a major goddess of ancient Egyptian religion, a member of the Heliopolitan Ennead who functions as sister and consort of Osiris, mother and protector of Horus, a funerary and royal protector, and a locus of potent magic whose cult spread through the Hellenistic and Roman Mediterranean.
Anubis
Anubis is the ancient Egyptian funerary deity associated with embalming, protection of graves, and guiding the dead into the afterlife. Depicted as a canine or a man with a canine head and shown in black, he presides over mortuary rites and attends the judgment of the deceased, though he is not the central subject of many major myths.
Thoth
Thoth is an ancient Egyptian deity of the Moon, wisdom, writing, measurement, and magic, functioning as divine scribe, counsellor, and maintainer of Ma'at; he appears in myth as inventor/author of knowledge and as a recorder in funerary judgment and cosmic calculation.
*Perkʷūnos
*Perkʷūnos is the reconstructed Proto-Indo-European thunder‑god hypothesized by comparative linguistics and mythology. Scholarly reconstructions portray him as a storm or thunder figure associated with fructifying rain and as the combatant who fights a multi‑headed water‑serpent to release life‑giving waters; no direct attestations from the Proto‑Indo‑European period survive and the figure is inferred from later Indo‑European traditions.
*Péh₂usōn (reconstructed)
Péh₂usōn is a hypothetical Proto‑Indo‑European pastoral guardian reconstructed by comparative scholars from parallels in Greek and Vedic traditions. Proposed as a Graeco‑Aryan ancestor‑figure, the reconstruction describes a protector of flocks, roads, and travellers rather than an attested historical cultic personality.
57 Mnemosyne
57 Mnemosyne is a large main-belt asteroid (S-type) discovered in 1859 and named after the Greek Titaness Mnemosyne. It is a non-sentient astronomical body studied for its orbital and rotational properties and has been used in dynamical measurements related to Jupiter.
Aani
Aani (ancient Egyptian jꜥnr) is the lexical term for the baboon in ancient Egyptian language and functions in religious contexts as an animal icon and theophoric epithet. Attested repeatedly in Egyptian texts and images, the baboon image is used to represent or denote aspects of gods such as Thoth, Hapy, Khonsu, and Osiris rather than implying the animal itself is an independent deity.
Aati
Aati (also rendered Ati) is one of the 42 judges of the dead in ancient Egyptian funerary literature, attested in the Book of the Dead tradition (notably the Papyrus of Nebsemy). Described as originating 'from Heliopolis', Aati's documented function is to question the deceased about a specific moral accusation during the Duat judgment; the funerary texts supply a formulaic denial the soul must recite.
Abaddon
In Hebrew scripture Abaddon is primarily a noun meaning 'destruction' or a section/condition of the underworld paired with Sheol; in the New Testament Book of Revelation Abaddon is personified as an angelic figure (Greek Apollyon) described as the king of an army of locusts released from the abyss during the apocalypse.
Abadiu of Antinoe
Abadiu of Antinoe was a fourth‑century bishop of Antinoe (Antinoopolis, in Roman Egypt) commemorated as a martyr and saint in the Coptic Orthodox Church, with a feast day on 26 December. Sources record that he was killed during a theological dispute with Arian opponents and reference him in collections of Egyptian martyrs.
Aban Yasht
The Aban Yasht is a hymn from the Persian tradition that praises Anahita, a goddess associated with water, fertility, and wisdom. It consists of 132 stanzas and is part of the 21 Yashts collection. (Note: - Power tier should be "Primordial" or possibly "Cosmic", given that it's a hymn of great spiritual significance and associated with a goddess. - The article incorrectly states that Anahita is associa)
Abaset
Abaset is a localized ancient Egyptian goddess attested in tomb decoration at El‑Bawiti in the Bahariya Oasis during the 26th Dynasty. She is depicted anthropomorphically with a hedgehog motif incorporated into her headdress and appears on the walls of Qarat Qasr Salim, including twice in the Tomb of Bannentiu. No cult texts, myth narratives, or ritual prescriptions for her are recorded in the cited corpus.
Abath
No corroborated folkloric entity named "Abath" is documented in the provided sources. The string appears in the supplied material only as a surname/personal name in Aruban/Dutch-Caribbean archival records and as an unrelated taxonomic or encyclopedic hit; no mythic attributes, origin stories, rituals, or apotropaic practices for an entity called Abath are present in the documents reviewed.
Abatur
Abatur is an uthra (celestial emanation) in Mandaeism described as the 'father of the Uthras' and called the Ancient (ʿattīqā). He resides on the boundary between the World of Light and lower regions, functions as a judge who weighs souls (Abatur Muzania), and supplies instructions and materials to the demiurgic uthra Ptahil in accounts from the Diwan (Scroll) of Abatur.
Abatwa (Twa / Batwa)
Abatwa (also recorded as Twa, Batwa, Mutwa; singular forms Barhwa or Murhwa in some transcriptions) are indigenous hunter‑gatherer peoples of the Great Lakes region of Central Africa, historically identified as some of the earliest inhabitants of the area. The available sources treat them as human ethnic groups whose livelihoods, lands, and populations have been severely affected by conservation policies and modern violence.
