"This merging of identities of similar goddesses has led to considerable confusion, leading to some attributing to Bastet the title Mistress of the Sistrum (more properly belonging to Hathor, who had become thought of as an aspect of the later emerging Isis, as had Mut), and the Greek idea of her as a lunar goddess (more properly an attribute of Mut) rather than the solar deity she was. Indeed, much of this confusion occurred with subsequent generations; the identities slowly merged among the Greeks during their occupation of Egypt, who sometimes named her Ailuros (Greek for cat), thinking of Bastet as a version of Artemis, their own moon goddess.Thus, to fit their own cosmology, to the Greeks Bastet is thought of as the sister of Horus, whom they identified as Apollo (Artemis' brother), and consequently, the daughter of the later emerging deities, Isis and Ra."
Both Egyptian and Sumerian records, usually list twins born among the gods:- Tefnuit's twin brother would have been Tefen, but, Shw replaced Tefen at some point and Tefen was no longer mentioned, Yet, Shw was also, Tefnuit's twin, or he was Tefen himself after a renaming event, or, Shw and Tefen were near-identical twins:-- single-lineage inbreeding yields progressively-nearer twins by loss of genetic diversity till male and female are otherwise indistinguishable ... whence Ptah reputedly living 9000 years would have looked identical to Ra in his future age if Ra did not pass early; and Tefen, Tefnuit, Shw, were Ra's near-identical sub-twins but some millennia younger not seen as sub-twin by Earthers... and once on Earth, the abundant varieties of food and atomic nuclear chemistry altered that. This sort of exception recurring makes reading history probable and iffy and revisable: Adam may have been the son of Tefen, resurnamed son of Shw; Tefnuit may have been sister Shwh, known in Egypt by title Tef-nuit Chwh-nuit, Eve-nuit, mother of Nuit; Biblical Jehovah Yhwh was Shw or his wife; Cain 40 and Abel 32 were near-identical twins of minorly different years; Isis 203 and Nephthys 146 were dressup-substitutable... and history may have an unexpectedly new future..."
"The Goddess Neith - A mother of the Gods, Neith was most often seen as a fully human woman, sometimes holding a bow and arrows. However, she did have a lioness-headed aspect. Neith is unusual in that she has a androgynous aspect, in that she was supposed to have self-generated and to have both male and female elements in her nature"

From experience: with enough dedication, discipline and guidance, anything is possible.
