	Geb - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In this context, Geb was said to have originally been engaged in eternal sex with Nuit, and had to be separated from her by Tefnut.
		Indeed, the accession of a new pharaoh was announced by releasing four wild geese, to the four corners of the sky, to bless his reign with prosperity.
		His association with vegetation, and sometimes with the underworld, also brought him the occasional interpretation that he was the husband of Renenutet, a minor goddess of the harvest, who was the mother of Nehebkau, a god associated with the underworld, who was on the same occasions said to be his son by her.
