Serket (Serqet or Selket) was the goddess of fertility, nature, animals, medicine, magic, and healing venomous stings and bites in Egyptian mythology. She was thought to also have power over venomous snakes and scorpions, like Meretseger (goddess of cobras) and Isis (goddess of magic). It was believed that Serket could protect a person from venomous bites, and that she could send snakes and scorpions to meet out punishment to those of whom she disapproved. She also helped protect Isis and her infant son Horus (god of the sky) when they were hiding from Set (god of war) in the marshes of the delta. She was also associated with the seven scorpions who acted as a bodyguard for the mother and child and was sometimes named as the goddess who convinces Ra (god of the sun) to stop the sun barque and help when Horus was poisoned by a magical snake sent by Set. Because of this story, she was thought to offer special protection to children and pregnant women from venomous animals.(Zuhair Murad Spring 2020 Haute Couture Collection) -- source link
