“The Bull of My Mother” is a phrase and epithet related to the reincarnation of a Kemetic pharaoh through the intercession of a Goddess.
A similar theme is also found in the Alchemical notion of the killing and rebirth of the King through the Queen in the vessel containing the “Water of Life” during the transformational Great Work.
This incestuous relation, that Jung called Mysterium Coniunctionis, present in both, probably has a common origin in the older Kemetic sources or even more remote regional mythology.
The awe inspiring and alien relation can be interpreted simply as the single Goddess representing both the protective nurturing mother type (cow) and the atttractive desire inducing daughter type (cobra). The relation is manifested in organic life as puberty when the intense sexual desire leads away from the cradling arms of the mother. Both the Kemetic and Alchemical relations point to an initiation ritual of union with the Goddess.
