Sekhmet was represented as a lioness or as a woman with lion's head.
Her weapons were arrows "with which she pierces hearts" and a fiery glow
emanated from her body. The hot desert winds were regarded as the Goddess's
hot breath. She was connected with the fire spitting Uraeus of the King
and thereby became the "Eye of Ra". While her original purpose was to punish
humans if they deviated from Ra's worship, she later became a protective
and benevolent goddess. Sekhmet was also regarded as the one "Great of
Magic" whose knowledge of sorcery gave her a place in the service of healing.

In the hall of judgement at the weighing of the heart the heart of the deceased was placed on the scales of justice balanced against the feather of Maat, symbol of justice. (This is why Maat is usually depicted holding an ostrich feather.) If one's conscience was light enough to make their heart as light as the feather, the decreased was deemed worthy to meet Osiris in the after life.

Valley of the Queens, Egypt. Dynasty XIX 1270 B.C. This scene shows the Goddess Maat kneeling with her wings extended in a pose of paying homage to the Goddess Hathor who is seated on a throne. Maat is the Goddess of Truth and Justice who personifies cosmic order and harmony as established by the Creator-God at the beginning of time. Her symbol is an ostrich feather on her head. Hathor is the great Sky-Goddess often represented as a cow who became known as a universal Mother-Goddess. Hathor was the Goddess of joy and motherhood and the embodiment of all that is best in women. Hathor was also considered the Goddess of music, dance, light-hearted pleasure and love. She was considered the protectress of pregnant women and midwives. |
