 | | Taweret (Tawret, Taueret, Tawaret, Taurt, Thoeris and Toeris, Ipy, Ipet, Apet, Opet, Reret) was a patron of childbirth and a protector of women and children. |
 | | Like Bes, she was considered to be a ferocious demon as well as a protective and nurturing deity. |
 | | At one point in history there may have been three variants of the goddess, but soon all were merged as Taweret. |
