Ma'at is the Egyptian goddess of justice. She is a lunar goddess, sister to
Isis and ?? She ruled over laws, order, and justice, as well as the motion
of the cosmos. Her emblem is the feather, used to jusge the souls of the deceased.
A
series of "negative confessions" contained in the Book of the Dead are referred
to as the "Principles of Ma'at" and deferred to as a code of conduct for Egyptian
religious reconstructionists.
In
modern Kemetic religion, Ma'at is the principal of universal justice, a concept
similar to Karma in eastern religions.
Ma'at is personified as a Goddess, but is not strictly a deity.
