Gengen Wer – Goose God Who Guarded The Celestial Egg Containing The Life Force In Egyptian Beliefs
A. Sutherland - AncientPages.com - The primeval goose shares a close relation with certain deities from ancient Egyptian mythology. Among these is Gengen-Wer, an archaic Egyptian god represented by a goose.
This deity was seen as an embodiment of creative energy and was linked to ancient myths of the world's creation.
In the mythology of ancient Egypt, the goose held a revered status. It was perceived as an emblem representing the soul of those who had passed away. This symbolism is often evident in the tomb paintings and reliefs from this historical period in Egypt.
This bird was linked with the goddess Isis, the goddess of motherhood, fertility, and magic, and with the god Gengen-Wer, once a revered figure in Egyptian mythology but now faded into obscurity.
