Snapshots of selected areas of the Family Tree
The Ennead
The Ennead are the nine gods who shaped the universe in Egyptian mythology. Atum, the self-created god, gave rise to Shu and Tefnut, who brought forth Geb, the earth, and Nut, the sky. From them came Osiris, the god of the afterlife; Isis, the goddess of magic; Set, the god of chaos; and Nephthys, the protector of the dead. These gods represent creation, the natural world, and the struggle between order and chaos.
Osiris, Isis and Horus
The myth of Osiris, Isis, and Horus is a powerful story of love, betrayal, and rebirth in Egyptian mythology. Osiris, the wise ruler, is killed by his jealous brother Set, but Isis, with her magic and devotion, brings him back to life. Though Osiris becomes the god of the afterlife, their son Horus rises to defeat Set and restore order.
The Egyptian Underworld
Anubis is the Egyptian god of the underworld and mummification, guiding souls through the afterlife. He presides over the weighing of the heart ceremony, where a person’s deeds are judged against the feather of Ma’at. If the heart is light, the soul enters the afterlife; if heavy, it is devoured by Ammit.
The Theban Triad
The Theban Triad — Amun, Mut, and Khonsu — represents a divine family at the heart of Egyptian worship in Thebes. Amun, the hidden god of creation and the sun, rules alongside Mut, the protective mother goddess. Their son Khonsu, the moon god, governs time and rejuvenation. Together, they symbolize the harmony of divine power, protection, and the rhythm of life.
