Pride


Hedetet… the Egyptian Scorpio Goddess 

With the head of a scorpion 

People will refer her to Serket 

The Goddess of Healing poisonous bites and stings 

But with a nursing baby 

She is also referred to Isis 

The Goddess of Motherhood and Fertility 

The sign of passion and everything mysterious 

Water is the natural element 

This water is deep, dark, and where few has gone 

They make you vaguely aware of their existence 

Their favorite colors are  

Dark like purple, blue, red, and black 

Through dreams and longing from deep within 

Fear of the power unleashed if expressed 

Scorpions being a relevant symbol 

Small but dangerous, both fear and fascination 

Maybe be the 8th zodiac sign but 

They should never be taken lightly. 

Scorpios are really good friends 

But betraying them is the best way to 

Break your bond with them 

They are not known to be forgiving 

Remember the quiet ones are the ones that know it 

They secretly know what is going on amongst them.
