Aset, the Possessor of Strength
Aset is the Strongest of Goddesses as She is the one along with Set to destroy Ap-p during Ra’s Nightly Journey. In one myth, She stopped the Sun Boat to heal Heru-sa-Aset.
She mourned and worked through Her anguish when Wesir died and raised Her son as a single mother.
She is depicted wielding a scimitar, slaughtering the enemies of Her son or husband or Her Father Ra with flame.
At Aswan and Philae temples, Aset is called “Chief at the Head of the Army” and “Possessor of Strength”. She has a very bellicose nature here as these temples were positioned at country borders where enemies could invade.
