10th God of the Nine from Heliopolis
ref.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tefnut, http://www.alchemy-works.com/elements_water.html
I have ascended to you
with the Great One behind me
and <my> purity before me:
I have passed by Tefnut,
even while Tefnut was purifying me,
and indeed I am a priest, the son of a priest in this temple.
~Papyrus Berlin 3055
Atum said: Tefnut is my living daughter, she is together with her brother Shu . "Life" is his name, "truth" is her name ... "life" sleeps with my daughter "truth"
~Pyramid texts
