Renenutet

Renenutet, alternatively translated as Rannut and Ernutet, was an Ancient Egyptian harvest goddess. Unknown. (1972). "Renenutet, Rannut, or Ernutet", in Leach, M. (ed) Funk & Wagnalls Standard Dictionary of Folklore, Mythology and Legend. 3rd ed. pp.932-933
== Depictions ==
Renenutet had two main depictions:
* Most commonly, she was depicted as a woman with a serpent head.
* Alternatively, she was depicted as an uraeus serpent with cow horns and the solar disk.
Her form being serpentine is hypothesised to be a result of observations by Ancient Egyptian farmers at the end of harvest where, in the last part of the field to be harvested, they would find snakes who had fled from the farmers working in the other parts of the field and were struggling to escape the field. 
== Worship ==
Her sacred festival took place in what is now April.
