Tefnut was a goddess in ancient Egyptian religion, paired with the air god Shu, and is believed to have been associated with moisture based on ancient texts describing her producing water. She was also among the goddesses who could take on the role of the fierce Eye of Ra, though her exact religious significance remains less well understood than that of her counterpart Shu.
