#just my upg of course… could go more in depth with traditional associations but! I hope this helps

I think there are multiple within the Kemetic Pantheon that could fall into that association. For me, the biggest would actually be Set, Aset, and Khnum because They are who I currently work with in that capacity for the most part. Perhaps Nefertem (+/- Shezmu and Ma’ahes), Renenutet, and Heqat could be looked into as well (won’t dive into my thoughts on Them however to keep the post manageable).

For Set, that association is because of His role as the Lord of the Oasis and Lord of the Desert. The desert is such a vast area, constantly changing and shifting from storms and winds. Yet there are still areas of significant growth, in the form of the oasis, where life flourishes and is nourished. There is much growth to be had when working with Him, and that growth can lead to change and transformation (as nothing can truly stay as it is forever).

For Aset, this is due to Her continued work alongside people. Especially during the later time period (even in Greco-Roman Egypt), She became someone who was worshipped and venerated by even the common people. For me, She takes on the role of a Mother and of a Teacher. She shows me the way to my own growth and change, while still allowing me the freedom to do it at my own pace (for the most part at least).

With Khnum, this is most likely due to His association with creation and growth itself. I like to think of humanity as the clay He works with. We are flexible and moldable, and change is simply in our nature. He can provide assistance (after all, the clay does not spin or work itself), but He also seems a bit more hands off at the same time. He understands that we are individuals and have different ideas and rates of change, and seeks to nourish that growth instead of controlling it.

Which deities do you personally associate with change/transformation?
