there’s one description for white background viewers

-Anubis: Anubis was concerned with funerary practices and the care of the dead. He was usually represented as a jackal or as a man with the head of a jackal. The association of jackals with death and funerals likely arose because Egyptians would have observed jackals scavenging around cemeteries.

In the Old Kingdom, before Osiris rose to prominence as the lord of the underworld, Anubis was considered the principal god of the dead. According to the Osiris myth, Anubis embalmed and wrapped the body of the murdered king, becoming the patron god for embalmers.

-Isis: The origins of Isis are obscure. Unlike many gods, she can’t be tied to a specific town, and there are no certain mentions of her in the earliest Egyptian literature. Over time she grew in importance, though, eventually becoming the most important goddess in the pantheon. As the devoted wife who resurrected Osiris after his murder and raised their son, Horus, Isis embodied the traditional Egyptian virtues of a wife and mother.

As the wife of the god of the underworld, Isis was also one of the main deities concerned with rites for the dead. Along with her sister Nephthys, Isis acted as a divine mourner, and her maternal care was often depicted as extending to the dead in the underworld.

Isis was one of the last of the ancient Egyptian gods to still be worshipped. In the Greco-Roman period she was identified with the Greek goddess Aphrodite and her cult spread as far west as Great Britain and as far east as Afghanistan. It is believed that depictions of Isis with the infant Horus influenced Christian imagery of Mary with the infant Jesus.

-Osiris: One of Egypt’s most important deities, was god of the underworld. He also symbolized death, resurrection, and the cycle of Nile floods that Egypt relied on for agricultural fertility.

According to the myth, Osiris was a king of Egypt who was murdered and dismembered by his brother Seth. His wife, Isis, reassembled his body and resurrected him, allowing them to conceive a son, the god Horus. He was represented as a mummified king, wearing wrappings that left only the green skin of his hands and face exposed.

-Rê: One of several deities associated with the sun, the god Rê was usually represented with a human body and the head of a hawk. It was believed that he sailed across the sky in a boat each day and then made a passage through the underworld each night, during which he would have to defeat the snake god Apopis in order to rise again.

Re’s cult was centered in Heliopolis, now a suburb of Cairo. Over time, Re came to be syncretized with other sun deities, especially Amon.

-Oupouaout (Wepwawet): Wepwawet originally was seen as a wolf deity, thus the Greek name of Lycopolis, meaning city of wolves, and it is likely the case that Wepwawet was originally just a symbol of the pharaoh, seeking to associate with wolf-like attributes, that later became deified as a mascot to accompany the pharaoh. Likewise, Wepwawet was said to accompany the pharaoh on hunts, in which capacity he was titled (one with) sharp arrow more powerful than the godsalone

Anubis: Symbolized by a black dog or a muscular man with the head of a black jackal, the ancient Egyptian god of death was said to be the god who oversaw all aspects of the dying process. He facilitated embalming, protected the graves of the dead, and decided whether a soul should be granted eternal life.

Isis is the goddess representing the mission of mother and wife, protector of nature, magic.Friends of slaves, criminals, artisans, the oppressed. She helped to restore the souls of deceased humans to wholeness as she had done for Osiris.

Osiris was the Ancient Egyptian god of the dead, and the god of the resurrection into eternal life; ruler, protector, and judge of the deceased. Osiris was not only the ruler of the dead, but also the power that granted all life from the underworld, from sprouting vegetation to the annual flood of the Nile River.

In Egyptian, Re means "the sun" or the "divinity in the power of the sun". The god Amun-Re is a representation of these two ideas: the ever-present invisible power and radiant light of the divine force that sustains life. According to legend, the sun god is born once a day.In the morning, he brings light to all things. When the sun goes down, it is said that Ra is going to hell, until the next morning, he is reborn. All night long this supreme god has to fight his enemy, Apep, the terrible cosmic serpent in hell. To the Egyptians, the sun represented light, warmth, and growth. This makes the sun god very important as the sun is seen as the ruler of all that he has created.

Oupouaout means "The one who paved the way"- an enlightening God. He is the escort of souls to the afterlife and protects them during that dangerous journey. The one who opens the way. He was always represented with white hounds, rather than black like Anubis's. Oupouaout is also a god of war. He was the commander of the army, the one who "paved the way" for the soldiers to advance.

Anubis - Anubis is the god of mummification and his roles are related to death and the after life with his roles including protection of graves and cemeteries, supervising embalming, guiding souls from the world of the living to the afterlife, and Guardian of the Scales of Truth which weighed a person's heart in order to see if they worthy of entering the realm of the dead if their soul was lighter than a feather or whether it would be devoured by Ammit if it were heavier.

Isis - Isis is the mother goddess of magic and life and her roles are related to healing with her love encompassing every living creature, the giver of life and food to the dead, and restoring the souls of the dead to wholeness.

Oupouaout (Wepwawet) - Oupouaout is the wolf deity and the usher of the dead with his role being to protect and lead the deceased through the underworld.
