Heqet is an Egyptian goddess associated with fertility and safe childbirth; she is known as the midwife to the gods, and is concerned with issues of health and family. Heqet is also connected with the inundation of the Nile and the rich soil it brings to the land.

She is depicted here as a woman with the head of a frog; Heqet may also be shown in the full form of a frog.

Heqet of the seed and the soil, friend of the mother
and the child, lady of the flood, I praise and honor you.
