Other Names: Ma’at

Patron of: truth, law and universal order.

Appearance: A woman wearing a crown surmounted by a huge ostrich feather. Her totem symbol is a stone platform or foundation, representing the stable base on which order is built.

Description: Maat was the personification of the fundamental order of the universe, without which all of creation would dissolve into nothingness.

To reflect this, many pharaohs took the title “Beloved of Maat,” emphasizing their focus on justice and truth.

Maat was believed to be present during ALL legal and court issues.

In the underworld, the heart of the deceased was weighed by ANUBIS against Maat’s feather. If the heart was heavy with wicked deeds, it would outweigh the feather, and the soul would be fed to the dark underlords.

But if the scales were balanced, indicating that the deceased was a just and honorable person in life, he would be welcomed by OSIRIS into the Blessed Land.

Maat’s presence in all worlds was universal, and all the gods deferred to her.

Worship: Worshipped and revered widely throughout all of Egypt. Even the gods are shown praising Maat.
