Khery Heped En Kenmet as depicted on the ceiling of the Dendera Temple on the Dendera D Zodiac

Khery Heped En Kenmet is the third decan of the main decanal stars of Egyptian astrology. The decan has its heliacal rise during the week of I Akhet 21-30 in the Egyptian calendar. Its name is translated as "under the hind part of the cow."

Name

The phrase Khery Heped meaning “under the hind part” is only found associated with one other decan group, that of the Sheep, indicating that whatever knmt means, it is a four-legged animal of some kind.

In modern times, it may be a mystery why the area under the hind part of a cow would be worthy of a decan, but in the Meir Monumental Tombs, there is tomb art depicting a man kneeling down, helping a cow give birth. References to this part of the cow, or any livestock animal, is indicative of birth, transformation, and change.

Characteristics

In ritual work, the decan Khery Heped En Kenmet aids the casting of spells. It can also alter the weather and cause fear and respect to grow in the hearts of those around you.

On the Dendera D zodiac ceiling, this decan is depicted as a seated lion-headed deity. The same ceiling gives its minerals as glass and gold.
