Sample card: Maat - Cosmic Justice. She is the goddess of truth, justice, rightful action and spiritual accord. All Egyptian priests and priestesses sought to live in a state of Maat to wnsure harmony in this life and in the next. When someone dies, their body is weighed against a feather, a symbol for the conscience.  The feather must balance against the heart of the deceased. That is how union with Osiris in the stars is earned. A heavier heart than the feather means the deceased is given to Ammit, the great devouring monster. A channelled message from Maat, chastising us for not understanding the imperative nature of justice in our world. She asks to be invoked into our homes and work-places. Her law ensures that higher spirituality operates to create order and harmony, safety and wellbeing.
