Shu and Tefnut |
Shu is a male god who is paired with his
sister, Tefnut. Together they represent two fundamental principles
of human existence. Shu symbolizes dry air and the force of
preservation. Tefnut symbolizes moist or corrosive air that brings about change, creating the
concept of time. Shu and
Tefnut are the offspring of Re (or
Atum, a form of the sun god), a primeval cosmic god, progenitor of the
elements of the universe.
