What is Ma’at?

Ma’at is the ancient Kemetic concept of truth, justice, balance, and cosmic order, Queen. It was both a goddess and a principle that governed all of existence. Living in Ma’at meant alignment with truth, fairness in dealings, and harmony with nature. The heart was weighed against Ma’at’s feather after death. This concept predates and influenced later ideas of justice and righteousness. Ma’at is the original law - live by it and you live in alignment with the universe.
