ENT_EGY_WOSRET Wosret   Egyptian Goddess / Early Theban deity High Deity early Theban sovereignty; divine protection; predecessor to Mut       A           "The Powerful One" (Egyptian wsr = powerful); ancient Theban goddess attested in the Pyramid Texts (Old Kingdom); one of the earliest Theban patron deities, predating Amun's rise to prominence; her name is the same root as Osiris (Wsir) and Waser; she appears in the Pyramid Texts as a protective and powerful female force; some Egyptologists (including Wilkinson) consider her a possible early precursor to Mut in the Theban theological tradition, though direct textual continuity is debated; she is also thought to be connected with the royal cartouche tradition — the name "Wosret" appears in several 12th Dynasty pharaonic names (Senusret, meaning "man of Wosret"), suggesting she retained theological importance into the Middle Kingdom despite being overshadowed by Mut deity
