Meaning & History

Ma'at refers to the ancient Egyptian concepts of truth, balance, order, harmony, law, morality, and justice. Maat was also the goddess who personified these concepts, and regulated the stars, seasons, and the actions of mortals and the deities who had brought order from chaos at the moment of creation. Her ostrich feather represents truth. Her ideological opposite was Isfet (Egyptian jzft) meaning "injustice, chaos, violence or to do evil".
