Talk:Nut (goddess)

message: Nuit is also French for night.
:Not in English it isn't. This is the english language Wikipedia. Try raising that point on the french one
::What a ridiculously pedantic thing to say. I think their point was that the Egyptian for night seems to be very similar to Indo-European languages' words for night. Nostratic, perhaps?   —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.137.157.224 (talk) 00:08, 10 November 2007 (UTC)

message: As to eternal Mother then this is probably the Mother Mary that catholics always pray to. Note that there is no mother by any other name.
:Not really, there is little similarity. Hathor has a much greater parallel, and Isis even more so. --Victim of signature fascism | help remove biblecruft 21:27, 15 January 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Eternal Mother

message: Nuit is a goddess of Thelema, a religion recognized by the US government, with tens of thousands of adherents around the globe. Several organizations recognize her as a Thelemic diety. She has a highly relevant position in the Thelemic canon. Please do not remove Thelemic references to her in this article. Thank you. Ashami 04:35, 17 April 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Looks like a name collision, which is a common-enough occurrence. I was already trying to comprehend the deletion, and was already thinking of copying the deleted text here for discussion.  I think y'all need to discuss how this page can be shared, even though it started out as an Egyptology page.  If Nuit & Thelema are discussed somewhere else, perhaps one of those "Nuit is also a term used in Thelema" entries at the top might be a good idea?  Anyway, just my two cents.

text: Sorry to revive an old conversation, but this seems like an obvious case where we have two redundant or at least incomplete articles. From reading both, it seems that the Nuit of Thelema is just (a slightly mistranslated) Egyptian Nut, with variant mode of worship in modern times. Lots of articles on ancient deities have a relatively short section either at the end or as part of a "mode of worship" subsection discussing modern or revivalist forms of worship. This is like having a separate article for "Jesus in Mormonism" and then also deleting all references of Mormonism from the main "Jesus" article. I'm not sure what justification could be used to keep "Nut in Thelema" from being a subsection of this article other than the idea that this is an archaeology article rather than a religion article, when it should cover both.

thread_title:  Nuit and Thelema 

message: On this article there is a quote from the book of the dead: “Hail, thou Sycamore Tree of the Goddess Nut! Give me of the water and of the air which is in thee. I embrace that throne which is in Unu, and I keep guard over the Egg of Nekek-ur. It flourisheth, and I flourish; it liveth, and I live; it snuffeth the air, and I snuff the air, I the Osiris Ani, whose word is truth, in peace.”
I have a translation of such book & I have read many other translations & yet I cannot seem to find this particular incantation in the book.  Where did it come from?

message: I just fixed a broken section header, and the pictures look kind of out of whack.  It's just aesthetic, but if somebody who knows picture-fu could reposition them for better flow, it would be truly groovy. David A Spitzley (talk) 03:43, 25 February 2012 (UTC)
thread_title: Pictures need reorganizing

message: I hate suggesting that this section be removed, but perhaps it should be. It is possibly based on an original scholarly account that has since been lost to modern recollection. That account possibly related the particulars of one of the tens of thousands of Egyptian source texts, also lost to modern recollection. (Note: "possibly" is there twice, and no references.) So while this account, here on Wikipedia for some years now, may have acted as a placeholder until such sources may be recovered, perhaps this section should be removed. Before making this suggestion, I searched a number of scholarly Egyptology texts at a couple local libraries and by interlibrary loan obtained another text. The editors of some ofd these encyclopedias, etc., made an apparent effort to be somewhat comprehensive. Bob Enyart, Denver KGOV radio host  (talk) 21:01, 27 February 2017 (UTC)

thread_title:  Remove "Myth of Nut and Ra" Section? 

message: Nut is linked as the feminine deification of Nu on the latter's page, but nothing is said about the Ogdoad here. If the Nut of the Ogdoad is indeed being considered the same Nut, then it seems some redirects (like Naunet) and links (as on the main page for Ogdoad) need to be sent here instead. But I'm not actually sure if that is the case? I can't tell if they were conflated or not later on. Either way, it seems like something worth mentioning on this page. 73.155.143.88 (talk) 18:53, 2 August 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: It's an error at that article, which I have corrected. Naunet and Nut are different deities. Thank you for pointing out the problem. A. Parrot (talk) 02:10, 4 August 2017 (UTC)
thread_title:  Ogdoad 

message: I think that we should change the picture.  Mostly because I think it should be the sky goddess Nut with stars, sense the text mostly says that she is a starry figure and, yes it does say something about the pot she has on her head.  But I would think a starry night Nut would be more helpful for the readers to picture her, sense most of the text is about a starry night Nut.TrollhunterFan (talk) 01:26, 19 October 2018 (UTC)
