Meresger

Meresger, whose name means She Who Loves Silence, is the cobra goddess of the peak that towers over the Valley of the Kings at Thebes. She is both punishing and merciful: she strikes the wicked and the oath-breaker with blindness and venom, yet heals those who repent and pray to her humbly. The tomb-builders of Deir el-Medina, who lived in her shadow, left moving carved confessions of their sins and gratitude for her cures, worshipping her as a goddess who truly listened, judged, and forgave.
