Shai & Renenutet: Wheel of Fortune

Shai, whose name means “that which is ordained”, is the Neteru of fate and destiny. Renenutet is the cobra goddess of abundance, nourishment, and good fortune. While Shai determines each person’s destiny, Renenutet decides your day-to-day luck. Shai and Renenutet are two very powerful forces. Even Pharaoh Rameses the Great declared himself “Lord of Shai” to send the message that he was the decider of the men’s fates.

On the Shai & Renenutet Wheel of Fortune card, Shai uses the feather of Ma’at and a sundial to mark off the span of a person’s life, as Renenutet stands ready to spin the celestial wheel to determine the person’s luck.
