Heqet

"Heqet (Egyptian ḥqt, also ḥqtyt "Heqtit"), sometimes spelled Heket, is an Egyptian goddess of fertility, identified with Hathor, represented in the form of a frog.

To the Egyptians, the frog was an ancient symbol of fertility, related to the annual flooding of the Nile.

Heqet was originally the female counterpart of Khnum, or the wife of Khnum by whom she became the mother of Her-ur.

It has been proposed that her name is the origin of the name of Hecate, the Greek goddess of witchcraft." - (en.wikipedia.org 19.11.2021)
