One day in the glorious lands of upper Egypt, my husband Ptah (The God of Creation, the Arts, Fertility, and Craftsmen) and I walked along the sand. I could hear the sound of elated children and the sounds of chariots in motion. I then saw a Blue Lotus flower and picked it. I held the gorgeous flower up to Ptah's nose and out stepped our son, Nefertem. He wears a blue lotus bloom upon his head with two plumes rising up. Because he is so ravishing, Nefertem becomes the God of Healing and Beauty. After the creation of my son, the three of us became a triad in charge of Ineb Hedj. But I could feel something stirring in my soul. Nefertem made something in my heart feel healed. I fought with myself for days on end. There was something terribly wrong. A voice in the back of my mind was telling me "it's time to stop." But stop what? After several days of battling my instincts, I willed myself to become the Goddess of Healing. I saved the wounded and exterminated the plague. I became a good goddess. But it doesn't matter how many lives I save, I still yearn for chaos. My vicious nature still flows through my veins today...and it always will.
