Mentioned in the Pyramid Texts, she facilitated the final transition, birthing stages of labor, only remnants of her sanctuaries exist today. In the storytelling about Isīs and Osirīs, Heqet was the one who breathed life into the body of Horūs at the moment of birth. A Shamanic Healer, Hźket was often found on childbirth amulets, charms, and talismans represented symbolically as a Frog sitting inside of a Lotus Blossom. She was also depicted as a woman with a frog head, her primary Animal Totem.
Ancient Egyptian Priestesses of Heqet were trained as midwives. When Horūs's birth was linked
with Osirīs's resurrection in the Egyptian legends, Heqet's midwifery was linked
with the amulet affirmation, I Am the Resurrection.
As the legend of the Resurrection of Osirīs spread throughout the lands, Heqet became increasingly syncretized with Isīs to the point where she was considered a facet of Isīs's overall persona; rather than, a distinctly separate individual. Some of the ancient Egyptian depictions attributed to Isīs were actually resemblances of Hźket. In some of the ancient Egyptian traditions, Hźket was referred to as the soulmate wife of Haroeris, the manly aspect of god Horūs. She was also associated with fertility and the Nile River. When Horūs Gilgamesh left the Earth to Orion to join his parents Osirīs Lugalbada and Isīs Nisun, she remained behind on the planet were she was later know as one of the Valkyrie warrior goddesses.
As Rota, she was a Norse,
Icelandic, Germanic valkyrie goddess. She was a shield maiden messenger who
ensured that justice was rendered, that the Nine Noble Virtues were adhered to,
and that constructive productiveness was furthered...
