The Egyptian Goddess Maat embodies righteousness, truth and justice, thus presiding over the weight of the Souls of the deceased. The feather that adorns her head, which is her fundamental emblem, serves as a weight on one side of the scales, while on the other is the heart of the deceased. If the heart is as light as the feather, the Soul is ready to cross the Amenti (Egyptian heaven), otherwise it will have to return to earth to purify itself.
Maat was worshipped throughout Egypt, and is, unlike the local or family gods, the pure personification of general ideas, symbolising the necessary balance by which the world does not capsize.
