In Egyptian Mythology QETESH (also Kadesh, Qaudeshet.......) is a Goddess of Sex rather than Fertility and is believed to be a Semitic Goddess adopted into Egyptian pantheon as early as the New Kingdom. Once adopted she was renamed as KNT (pronounced 'Kenet). Her lover was Rasheph, a married God from Caldean myth and she also took Min as a lover. Min was the God of Sexual prowess and Fertility, so seemed a perfect choice as a lover.

QETESH: was nearly always depicted as a naked woman standing or sitting on the back of a Lion, with the Crescent Moon (representing the night), as her head dress. She is shown holding snakes in her right hand (to represent the penis or Kundalini Serpent), and Lotus Flowers (representing the vulva), in her left hand.

THE NATURES OF QETESH: Among her many natures she was worshiped as a Nature Goddess, Goddess of Sexual Energy and Pleasure. She was also the deity of Law, Happiness, Dance and Music. Most importantly she was THE PROTECTOR OF WOMEN & FEMALE CHILDREN-abused by men. This last nature made her a popular choice with women and their daughters who were subject to rape and abuse.

Qetesh was also known by many other names and those names had their own aspects and areas of work & worship.

In the summer of 2011 the Iseum opened a small branch of a charity named 'Loving Hands'. The charities aims are to respond to requests from agencies, organisations, goverment bodies, businesses and other charities. One area of work is with lost babies.

WHO ARE THE DAUGHTERS OF QETESH?

Daughters of Qetesh are a group of Priestesses who use eclectic spiritual paths while following the Egyptian ideology of the 'Sacred Whore', refered to by Carl Jung in "Models of The Collective Unconcious". We are the Shaman Priestess Lovers who reclaim the soul through Healing Rituals, Voluntary Fundraising, Support of Women's Groups, Work with Abused Girls and Women and Mentorting Physically & mentally Disabled Mothers.

because Sacred Prostitution was outlawed by the Patriarchy for 5,000 years, the ideology of a Sacred Pros. is alien and perhaps abhorent to many. Daughters of Qetesh follow one of the most profound avenues of transformative spiritual experience and enlightenment.

In the modern sense what we do is described by Carl Jung as archetypal healer and lover who reclaims lost souls through union with the God and Goddess within. We are lovers of the universe and our healing energy is sent out into the world on a spiritual and psychological level.

A large part of our work is with a Womens Centre in Kings Cross, London, UK. We mainly work with the English Collective of Prostitutes but the Crossroads Centre houses many Women's Groups:

Every Mother, Daughter and Grandmother is an aspect of the Sacred Egyptian Goddess Qetesh. At least once in our lives we have pleaded with her for help. She herself is an aspect of 'Isis of a Thousand Names', so you have called her by many names over your lifetime.

She hears us when we pray for guidance in matters of the heart. She hears our cry when we are victims of crime against our bodies and minds. It is She who guides us through broken marriages, mental and phsical abuse from men who claim to love us.

She guides and watches over the "Women of the Night', the Courtesan, the Escort, and those who earn a living in the worlds oldest profession.
