" I am the darkness of the womb I am thoughtful silence. I am the stillness of the tomb. I am thoughtful silence. I am the starlight in the night. I am thoughtful silence. Soft the sound of wings in flight. I am thoughtful silence. I am the chorus of the breeze. I am thoughtful silence. Whispered winds through limbs of trees I am thoughtful silence. "—Carol N. Hart

She is the sister of Aset (Isis) and Asar ( Osiris), wife to Set, Mother of Anpu. Her name means “Lady of the House.” She assisted Aset in the magical work done to resurrect Asar. All this does not tell us who She

She is the dark side of the Moon; not the dark of the Moon, the dark side of the Moon. It is there, it is part of the whole, it is an integral part of the Moon, and we never see it. Who is She? Once, it was said she was Aset, a lesser known side.  We've learned that all the Gods and Goddesses are so individual that one can no longer say that. Yes, they are closely related, they are sisters. In all I've learned about both ladies, I find them connected. Aset is the silver Moon; Nebet Het IS the dark side of the Moon. The side of the Moon we can never see but know it exists. Aset is magick, Nebet Het is mystery. Lecturing is an Aset form of teaching. Guided meditations are Nebet Het's style. Both are equal epithets of the same great lady

It is said, in legend, that Nebet Het and Asar were lovers. Some say the Goddess deceived the Lord by taking on the likeness of Aset. Others say, Asar knew. And many say that Aset knew of the union, and in her boundless love, blessed the joining. A child was born to Nebet Het, a child of hidden light, Anpu, Guardian of the Underworld, Guide of Souls; Anpu, the Observer; Anpu, the Jackal; Anpu, the Challenger.
