Wadd is a male Ancient South Arabian divinity, symbolised by a snake. His cult is attested since the earliest written sources, mainly in the Minaean, Sabaean and Qatabanian areas, including the Minaean settlements of Dadan and Qaryat al-Fāw, and the Sabaean sites in Ethiopia. The propitiatory formula “Wadd is father” was widespread and long lasting, and survived the adoption of monotheism.
