Serket, also known as Selket, Serqet or Selcis, is the goddess of healing venomous stings and bites in Egyptian mythology, originally the deification of the scorpion.
The most dangerous species of scorpion resides in North Africa, and its sting may kill, so Serket was considered a highly important goddess, and was sometimes considered by pharaohs to be their patron.
