Hauhet
Egyptian · deity · primordial · Recorded classification
Hauhet has no mythology and no cult of her own; she exists because the Ogdoad is symmetrical and endlessness needs a female holder as much as a male one. That is not a reason to leave her out. The system is the point: eight gods, four qualities, two genders, and a cosmos that has to be described twice over before it can be said to be complete.
