Serket

It is with fear and trepidation that man walks carefully near the serpent and scorpion. Not that these creatures could overpower him with strength or guile, but the fierce venom they carry is deadlier than any blade or arrow. Yet, for all the dread they induce, they never strike randomly or in anger. Poison of any kind is controlled and administered only to those deserving of such punishment. Serqet, Goddess of Venom sees to this. Though crushing strangulation and pain await those touched by her sting, Serqet is not a deity of retribution but guardianship. The wakeless dead are embalmed and preserved for all time in fluids taken from Serqet's beasts. Of the four sacred Canopic Jars which hold the internal organs of the mummified, Serqet is the watcher of one. And, though her strikes mean certain death, Serqet can cleanse poison as easily as apply it. When Aten ascended, Serket saw him as a threat to the Ascended but through Aten's manipulations she was cast out and labeled one of the Betrayer Gods. Now she schemes to drive her poison into the heart of Aten. Before her ascension she was a slave who extracted the poison of a scorpion and used it to kill a tyranical ruler, freeing the slaves afterwards.
Depiction. Serket is depicted as a beautiful woman with striking fierce eyes and the lower body of a scorpion.
Worshippers. Guards, parents, alchemists, poisoners, healers, and those sworn to protection all worship Serket. Though her status as a Betrayer God, her worship is usually widely permitted.
