    I just did some digging myself, and would like to know more about her as well! Most of the sites I came up with just gave a general overall.

        Henadology is good, too, see: henadology dot wordpress dot com.
        As is Wepwawet Wiki, Wepwawet dot org.

        I'm not allowed to post links (yet?) so, sorry if this breaks any rules. Just trying to help.

          Wepawet wiki isn't really recommended if you're looking for factual information. If I recall it even rips off other sites without crediting them.

          I think you have to have so many posts in order to posts links. It's spam prevention.

            Is this an ok site? http://ancientegyptonline.co.uk/neith.html


            ...I'm mainly interested from the weaving/domestic perspective, as an academic exercise...

              No worries

              I find lots of the info questionable, and especially so without sources cited.

              ADD: One that came up was attributing Her with the creation of The Uncreated One. While She was a creatrix in some myths no creator deity is necessarily associated with its creation. It just kinda came about when the other gods did.

              That said She is associated with weaving, especially since the symbol on Her head is similar to a weaving tool. I know there are some books which sorta cover Her in passing. I'll see if I can dig some of those up. I know for certain Siegfried Morenz sorta discusses Her in the appendix of Egyptian Religion.

              In the meantime, here's a site I really enjoy. Sources are cited, and most are decent at that: http://www.reshafim.org.il/ad/egypt/religion/neith.htm

                Ah, thank you for mentioning this. I like to use it for general, quick information pertaining to UPG offerings.
                Thanks for clearing the thing about posts, too. That makes sense. xD

                  No worries. I know some folks aren't bothered by UPG (I'm one of them), but I wanted to clear up that it wasn't necessarily factual and was indeed based off of someone's or a collective's experience.
