The living story
The story so far
The frog goddess, midwife of the gods, consort of Khnum the potter. When the Ogdoad's frog-fathers croak in the marsh at Hermopolis, she answers — family is family, even across cosmogonies. She has breathed life into more births than any god can count.
Happening now
She is attending a birth in the marshes tonight, frog-footed and unhurried. She has done this since before doing things had a name.
What may come
Every birth in Egypt is her jurisdiction, and Egypt keeps being born. Her work will never end, which is exactly how she likes it.
