Mut (‘Maut’ or ‘Mwt’ meaning ‘Mother’) was goddess of the sky, the divine mother goddess and ‘Queen of the Goddesses’ in Egyptian mythology. She was originally linked to the primeval waters of the universe, from which all things were born with her identity as mother of the cosmos giving her aspects of a creator goddess. Mut became a national goddess when Amun (king of the gods), became patron of Thebes which became the capital of Egypt. She then took the place of Amun’s earlier wife Amaunet, (goddess of the air) and inherited the title ‘Eye of Ra’ after her husband merged with the sun god Ra, becoming Amun-Ra. The ‘Eye of Ra’ was the daughter of Ra in the form of a lion who embodied the fierce heat of the sun. However, Mut was also ‘Mother of the Sun in Whom He Rises’ thus making her both the mother and daughter of the sun god.(Zuhair Murad Spring 2020 Haute Couture Collection) -- source link
