Protector of Pregnant Women and Babies


My daughter's school is studying Ancient Egypt this year.
We went on a field trip to see the King Tut exhibit in San Francisco last week.

We stopped in San Jose at the Rosicrucian Egyptian Museum in San Jose.
It was a great enrichment trip for us... My daughter loved being able to walk thru the tomb and see a real mummy and all the great artifacts.

While visiting I ran into Taweret, the goddess of childbirth. She was responsible for looking after pregnant women and babies.
