Ancient

Serapis
Ancient

Serapis

Serapis is a deliberately syncretic Graeco‑Egyptian deity formed from the fusion of the Egyptian Osiris‑Apis cult (Demotic wsjr‑ḥp / Coptic Userhapi) with Greek divine elements.

Minor Spirit

Tenemu

Tenemu (tnmw) is primarily attested in Egyptian lexical material as a word for beer. In modern reconstructive theology (Henadology) the name Tenem/Tenemu (and a proposed consort Tenemuit/Tenemyt) has been used as a label for a precosmic principle associated with primordial gloom or the primeval watery state; this divine role is a modern interpretive reconstruction rather than a strongly attested ancient cultic profile.
