SHAI. Shai (also spelt Sai, occasionally Shay, and in Greek, Psais) was the deification of the
concept of
fate in Egyptian mythology. As a concept, with no particular reason for associating with one gender over another, Shai was sometimes considered female, rather than the more usual understanding of being male, in which circumstance Shai was referred to as Shait (simply the feminine form of the name). His name reflects his function, as it means (that which is) ordained.

Shai
[Egyptian] The Egyptian goddess/personification of Fate. Her name and that of Shai (Fortune) are usually found coupled. They are said to be in the hands of Thoth, the divine intelligence of of the gods. Rameses II boasted that he himself is "lord of Shai and creator of Renenet." Shai was originally the deity who "fated" what should happen to a man. There was little or no distinction between Shai and Renenet and the abstract ideas which they represented. In the Papyrus of Ani, Shai stands by himself near the pillar of Balance.
