This is one of the oldest goddesses, whose cult was known ever in the predynastic period. The story of the great warrior Menes, known as the king of scorpions, is associated with the image of Serlet. Under the auspices of the scorpion Goddess , Menes won many wars and become her loyal priest. The name "Serket" is derived from the expression "serket hetit" - "giving breath to the throat"
As you know, a scorpion bite leads to a spasm of the upper respiratory tract and only the scorpion goddess Serket can ward off the harm of the poison and return a person's breath. The most ancient function of the goddess - protection from scorpions and cure from their bites , as well as the protection and snake charming. In the era of the Old kingdom, Serlet received the status of the protector of the throne and the pharaoh.
Serqet was often shown as a woman with a scorpion on her head, and occasionally as a scorpion with the head of a woman, though this was rare. She was sometimes shown wearing the headdress of Hathor - a solar disk with cow horns - but this was after Isis started to be shown wearing it.
