She seems to have assisted Ptah and Khnemu at the creation. She is "mist= ress of heaven, ruler of earth, and president of the nether world." Her symbol is the feather, which we see in the judgment scenes weighed in the balances against the heart of the deceased. The Greeks identified her with their Themis.
