Shu And Tefnut Pendant

Shu and Tefnut are ancient Egyptian deities often associated with the creation and the elements of air and moisture.

Shu is the god of air, wind, and sunlight. He is one of the primordial deities, emerging from the primeval waters of chaos at the beginning of creation. Shu is often depicted as a man with a feather on his head, symbolizing air and lightness. He played a key role in separating the sky from the earth, establishing the order of the world.

Tefnut is the goddess of moisture, rain, and humidity. She is the sister and wife of Shu, and together, they represent the essential elements for life and balance in the cosmos. Tefnut is often depicted as a lioness or as a woman with the head of a lioness, symbolizing her fierce and nurturing aspects. Like Shu, she helped in the creation of the world by contributing to the separation of the sky and earth.

Together, Shu and Tefnut are central to the Egyptian creation myth, representing the balance between air, moisture, and the cosmos.
