Raet (Ancient Egyptian: 𓂋𓂝𓇌𓏏𓇳, romanized: rꜥj.t) or Raet-Tawy (Ancient Egyptian: 𓇳𓏏𓇾𓇾, romanized: rꜥj.t-tꜣ.wj) is an ancient Egyptian solar deity, the female aspect of Ra. Her name is simply the female form of Ra's name; the longer name Raet-Tawy means "Raet of the Two Lands" (Upper Egypt and Lower Egypt).
