| This paper dealt with goddess nsrt. It clarified her roles in Ancient Egyptian religion by studying the textual and iconographical sources for this goddess from different periods from the Old Kingdom to the end of the Graeco Roman eras. She was dealt as the fiery eye of Re who emitted her fiery breath against his enemies. Her name was derived from the verb "nsr" which means to burn or blaze. Her name means the flaming one or the one who burns .This is matching with her role as a burning goddess. She illuminated the darkness for the bark of Re in the underworld, by spitting flame from her mouth to illuminate the route. She destroyed the enemies of Re-Osiris to prepare his way for the resurrection. nsrt and her partner wpst[i] appeared on the different books of the afterlife while burning all enemies of Re and Osiris..
