At the Temple of Esna, one ritual stands out from all others.
This ceremony lasted an entire day and was exclusively performed by women.
Through singing, praise, and offerings, the women of Esna honored Khnum, the divine potter who was believed to shape humanity on his potter’s wheel of life.
Male priests were deliberately excluded — a rare glimpse into female-led religious power in ancient Egypt.
