Nut is an Egyptian goddess associated with the sky, stars, and all that lies within the heavens. She is sister and consort of Geb, the god of earth, and the mother of Isis, Osiris, Set, Nephthys, and Horus the Elder.

She is a very old goddess with close mythic connections with the city of Heliopolis and is a part of the Heliopolitan Ennead.

Nut is depicted here with deep blue skin, long black hair, her body covered in stars. She is frequently depicted in this form in art, lying far above Geb, as the sky lies above the earth.

Nut of the sheltering sky, who holds a thousand souls,
lady of the starry night, I praise and honor you.
