  Anuket - Egyptian Goddess of the Nile River - Anuket - Egyptian Mythology - Anuket
In Egyptian mythology, Anuket (also spelt Anqet, and in Greek, Anukis) was originally the goddess of the Nile River, in areas such as Elephantine Island, at the start of the Nile's journey through Egypt, and in nearby regions of Nubia.
Since the god Chnum, and goddess Satis, were thought to be the gods of the source of the Nile, Anuket was viewed as their daughter.
Thus in art, she was often depicted as a gazelle, or with a gazelle's head, sometimes having a headdress of feathers (thought by most Egyptologists to be a detail deriving from Nubia).

  Anuket, Goddess of the First Cataract and Abu Island--Anuket Anukis Elephantine Island Khnum gazelle goddess water ...
Anuket is an ancient Egyptian Goddess of the cataracts or rapids on the Nile River in the region of Abu Island (called Elephantine Island in classical and modern times) in the south of Egypt, near the traditional border with Nubia.
Anuket's name means "She Who Clasps" or "She Who Embraces" (which I suppose could also be interpreted as "She Who Hugs"), and may refer to the steep and enclosing banks of the Nile at the First Cataract, which hold the river as in the arms of the Goddess.
Anuket, with Satet and Khnum, were invoked by these travellers as protective guardians on their sometimes dangerous trips, and on the island of Sehel, which was consecrated to Her, more than 200 inscriptions to the three are found, some asking for a safe journey into Nubia, others giving thanks for a safe return.

 Thelemapedia: The Encyclopedia of Thelema & Magick | Anuket
Anuket’s name holds reference to the embracing and nourishing of the fields by the Nile river—some of the titles of Anukis were “Nourisher of the Fields,” “She Who Shoots Forth,” and “Giver of Life.” The two tributaries that fed flood waters to the Nile were thought to be the arms of Anuket.
The Egyptian people threw coins, gold, jewelry, and precious gifts into the river in thanks for the life-giving water—thus the riches that the Nile had given the Egyptians were ritually returned to their source.
Anuket was described as the “Giver of Life, and of All Power, and of All Health, and of All Joy of the Heart.” Sometimes she was pictured as a woman holding a tall papyrus scepter and wearing a crown of feathers.
