#Nut the #AncientEgytian skygoddess  protects the journey of the deceased pharaoh  with her body (find him on his barque) as it proceeds through the #Netherworld. In the evening, she swallows the sun (red dot) . It travels through her body and is re-born again in the morning (red dot with wings), reflecting the re-birthing of the  #Pharaoh.

​#Birthing used to be the realm of the  #Feminine. But by the time of the Ancient Greeks the male gods got it into their heads that, by gosh, they too have every right to be creators, and VOILA! Zeus gives birth to Athena! And not having a uterus is no obstacle for a god! He’ll just invent one from that All Powerful Brain of his! And why not?
 
Uterus-envy anyone? 

​Ma'at is the #ancient #Egyptian #Goddess of #Truth and #Justice, the two principles that drive peace, stability, and wholesome human interaction. On Judgement Day, the feather in her headband is weighed against the heart of the deceased in the underworld. If the heart is heavier, the soul cannot return to Earth. If it is a light as the feather, the soul can pass on to heaven to shine as a star in the sky. Pretty cool!
I guess some lessons never quite get learned!

This priestess raises her perfect hands to the heavens, releasing the souls of the dead, represented by the doves in her crown. Her bird face and long neck as well as the 13- moon crown reveal that she is The Goddess herself.

The bird is the symbol of the goddess, as it reflects many of her gifts and qualities. Like birds, the goddess inhabits all realms; in the ground, in the water, in the air. And like the bird, she can ascend to the heavens. But most importantly, the bird is twice born; once as an egg and once as a chick. And the goddess too is the generator of  the life cycle; birth,  death, and re-birth.

She is The Great Re-cycler.  Crete; clay, 1300BC 

This 10,000 year old clay goddess was found in a grain bin at the oldest known human settlement of Catal Huyuk in Turkey.
She has a powerful pregnant body, and that may be a baby’s head appearing between her legs.. She sits on a throne with leopard arm rests., drawing powerful, ferocious cat energy for the birthing process. And the presence of the cat attests to the presence of the Goddess as well.
Can you imagine your hands resting on two panthers, and the incredible feline charge flowing through you? No wonder! The cat is a sacred animal of the Goddess.

This Neolithic Goddess is found throughout many parts of the world. She’s charming and joyful, but why are her arms looped in such an unusual way, you must be wondering?
 
This Goddess resembles the shape of the uterus and fallopian tubes! Our hunter-gatherer ancestors were in awe of the ability of the female to create new life from her own body. And they were very familiar with anatomy, as they were constantly cutting up animals for food. So. this shape is a testament to the sacred power of the feminine, as well as the joy of creation itself!
