Hymn to Hathor

Did you dig up a new one?

Hathor was a goddess of joy, feminine love, and motherhood. She was worshiped by both royalty and the common people. She was thought to have supported women in childbirth and also looked after music, dance, and fertility. She was a goddess of miners as well.

The goddess was known as the Mistress of the West, Mistress of Turquoise, and Mistress of Foreign Lands. The oldest information about her comes from the Fourth Dynasty (c. 2613 -2494 BC), but there is some information suggesting that her cult may be older.

The female king, Hatshepsut, added a small shrine dedicated to Hathor in her mortuary temple at Deir el-Bahri. For powerful women, Hathor and Sekhmet together contained all the attributes which they needed. However, male rulers of Egypt also worshiped Hathor

Although Hathor was sometimes presented as a woman with the head of a cow, more often she was as a beautiful, slender woman dressed in a headdress with a pair of cow's horns and with a sun disc between them. In the Book of the Dead of Ani, she is depicted as a cow who welcomes the deceased to the afterlife.

Her symbol was a sistrum – a musical instrument which made a noise like a tambourine. In mythology, she had healing powers. For example, she healed the eyes of Horus after Seth gouged them out. In the story, Hathor found him weeping in a desert, caught a gazelle, and milked it. She poured the milk into the eye of Horus and restored his sight.

The Temple of Philae was mainly a sanctuary of Isis, but Hathor was honored with a shrine. The temple of Philae influenced the depiction of both goddesses so much that in the later period of Egypt’s history these two deities were often regarded as one because they were both mother goddesses. And when they appeared as beautiful women, they were sometimes presented in such a way that they could be considered as both Isis and Hathor.

To me Hathor is an aspect of Isis, once aligned her energies give us a choice between pure divine joy and sexual desire. Sages tend to go for the joy/pure gold and pig spirits tend go for the sensual desire/fools gold. Balance is usually best but in this case favoring sensual desire has long lasting repercussions (moral depravity/degeneracy) and limits one's spiritual growth and development

Hathor was the wife of Horus and also seen as the daughter or mother of Ra. A sun aspect which suggests a multidimensional role and scope for her consciousness and energies. I also believe she is a kundalini goddess with a strong connection to the underworld

There are so many aspects of the goddess, personified by all of us. Some more than others

that's sweet

Hathor vs Apep (evil serpent god) = women vs serpent of Genesis and Revelation.

If you read the new Wes Penre Gnostic levels, level 6, then Isis is Sophia. If you read Chris Thomas Velons then you see the whole game of the hathors and anunnaki etc are playing.

:Sophia888:

There are infinite possible aspects and names for the goddess

Ishtar/Isis/Inanna/Hathor not too many names. Depends on who she truly is. If you read
[link to www.inannareturns.com] then she is an Anunnaki royal princess in her last incarnation, but that's just one of many incarnations. She's nothing special, unless she really is Sophia of the Gnostic thought.

I have a different perspective. They are all aspects of the original mother goddess who gave birth to the universe

So then no different than what Wes Penre posted already
