Ancient Egyptian sky and mother goddess. She is the goddess of women, love, joy, music, dance, celebration, and beauty. She was known as “the Great One of Many Names” as her attributes and titles are so vast that she was important in every area of like and death. Even the Greeks identifies Her with their Aphrodite.
She is the “Mother of Mothers” as she was the goddess of women, fertility, children and childbirth. She had power over any woman problems from conception and childbirth, to health, beauty, and problems of the heart. Harthor guided both new borns and the newly dead to safety. At the birth of a child seven Hathors would come to give the child’s fate, and it is said she waited at the Gates of the West to welcom the dead with brerad and beer.
Hathor was the goddess of beauty and patron to the cosmetic arts, though, she was not concidered shallow or vain. She was simply confident of her own beauty and goodness, and loved all things beautiful and good. All women, especially in this day in age should take some notes from this ancient Egypian Goddess.
She was also the patron of music and dance, especially percussive music. Many of her priests were musicians, artisans, and dancers who greatly lifted the quality of life in ancient Egypt. They worshiped her through their artisan nature and through dance. Hathor was the incarnation of dance and sexuality, giving her the title of “Hand of God” (refering to the act of masturbation) and “Lady of the Vulva”.
She took many forms such as a women, goose, cat, lion, malachite, sycamore fig, but her most famous manifestation is as a cow. Even as she appears as a women she has either the ears of a cow or a pair of elegant horns.
