Bes is the Egyptian dwarf war God who was once the Pharoah’s protector but, thanks to his popularity with ordinary people, gave up the war stuff to become God of childbirth & Protector of the home & children.
He must be very busy at the moment.

Poet John Nicholson worked for #TitusSalt in #Bradford. When his wife died in childbirth John took the #Temperance Society pledge (now k.a Costa’s). His hautboy is still on Rombalds Moor where he buried it. He carved his name in rock at #Eldwick. His sobriety was short-lived.
