Ma'at
Goddess of truth, justice, and cosmic order. Ma'at's feather is weighed against hearts of the dead—those lighter than the feather proceed to afterlife. She represents the principle of cosmic balance, moral order, and truth. Pharaohs claimed to uphold Ma'at, making her central to Egyptian governance. Ma'at embodies the concept that truth and justice are fundamental to universal structure, and that living righteously maintains cosmic harmony.
