  Egypt: Nehebkau, the God who Joined the Ka to the Body, God of Protection and Magic
Nehebkau (Nehebu-Kau, Nehebkhau), 'He Who Unites the Kas', was a benevolent snake god who the Egyptians believed was one of the original primeval gods.
In life, Nehebkau was invoked by the people to protect them from and cure them of venomous bites.
Nehebkau did not have a priesthood, but many people invoked him in magical spells to gain his protection and cures against snakebites.

 Nehebkau
In Egyptian mythology, Nehebkau ("he who harnesses the souls") was the snake god who guarded the entrance to Duat, the underworld.
He also protected Re, the sun god, in his nightly forays through the underworld, as well as the pharaohs after they died.
In varying versions, he was a son of Serket, or Seb and Renenutet.

 Nehebkau - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In Egyptian mythology, Nehebkau (also spelt Nehebu-Kau, and Neheb Ka) was originally the explanation, of the cause, of binding of Ka and Ba after death.
Since these aspects of the soul were said to bind after death, Nehebkau was said to have guarded the entrance to Duat, the underworld.
Alternately, in areas where Ra was the chief god, it was said that Nehebkau was one of the warriors who protected Ra whilst he was in the underworld, during Ra's nightly travel, as a sun god, under the earth.

Description: A nehebkau can be found roaming the southern deserts easily enough from miles away, its giant horns a dead giveaway among the endless sands.
Little is known about the origin of these serpents, aside from the fact that it is unwise to bother one when it’s shedding its skin: the portal may lead you to a place no mortal would want to be in, regardless of what world you chose.
Some believe, that nehebkau is really everywhere and nowhere at once, and the serpent that greats you is the very same one that sees you on the way out.

After the Festival of Sokar ended there came a five-day period during which the Pharaoh was linked to Horus, in a way being seen as "reborn" as the living Horus, the son and reincarnation of Osiris.
This festival was a mirror to the Wep-renpet (New Year - link to July issue) in July with many of the same traditions and observations.
Following the earlier events of the Festival of Sokar and the Rebirth Celebration of Nehebkau, Isis and Horus have a strong desire to avenge the death of Osiris upon Set - so they seek him out.

The serpent is an ancient Near Eastern and Aegean god of wisdom, who is always, quite naturally, an earth symbol.
In Egypt, Ra and Atum ("he who completes or perfects") were the same god, Atum, the "counter-Ra," was associated with earth animals, including the serpent: Nehebkau ("he who harnesses the souls") was the serpent god who guarded the entrance to the underworld.
As far away as Polynesia (specifically: Fiji), Ratu-mai-mbula is a serpent god who rules the underworld (and makes the sap run).

The filth is in both the Egyptian writing and, in case somebody can't read the Egyptian writing, the sitting Egyptian god with an erection, whom Joe Smith explains as "God sitting upon His throne." In Facsimile 2, then, Min is identified by both text and a graphic.
Mormons should study this picture because in the picture are the exact personages whom Egyptologists identify as Menu-ka-mut-f and Nehebkau, and whom Joe Smith identifies as the Mormon "God" and the Mormon "Holy Ghost." What Mormons identify as representing "God" and the "Holy Ghost" in "scripture," Christians identify as demonic.
Mercer agreed that the ithyphallic god Min and the ithyphallic snake god Nehebkau are in Figure 7 of Facsimile 2.
