Queen Maat is the
gatekeeper of the heart. It is
said that before man can pass on to
eternal peace, his heart must be
balanced on the scale of Maat. On
one side she will place your heart, the
cause behind all of your actions.
On the other side, she will place her
feather, which contains all the issues
of life. If your heart tips the
scale, you are banished from a peaceful
rest and your spirit must continue
working to cleanse itself. What
are you harboring in your heart?
Hate, anger, fear, judgment, shame or
guilt will tilt the scale against you.
The feather of Maat contains truth,
honor, justice, harmony and love, which
the ancients believed were the only
requirements for a long, prosperous and
peace-filled life. To pass through
the gate of Maat you must seek and speak
the truth, harboring no ill thoughts or
feelings, you must honor the ways of
those who came before you, you must deal
justly with honesty in all situations,
be harmonious in all that you do,
seeking no quarrel with anyone and
extending only love to others.
