HATHOR

The goddess of happiness, love, dance, music and joy, love, fertility, marriage and women and like Isis and Nut, one of the primal mother goddesses, she was the sister and gentle aspect of Sekhmet. Like Sekhmet she was the daughter or consort of Ra and she was a protector of women. She is patroness of modern businesswomen.

Hathor is depicted wearing a sun disk held between the horns of a cow.

Her protective image is found in many Egyptian tombs. Most spectacularly, she is shown as a large cow covered with lotus flowers or ankhs in the tomb of. King Amenhotep III. His image is painted black, the colour of death and he is depicted in the position of prayer under the head of the cow. There is also a small statue of him in red, the colour of living i.e. reborn, drinking from teat of the cow. This shows that goddess had adopted him. It dates from Deir el Bahar in the 18^th dynasty.

Invoke Hathor for protection, for nurturing and all mothering issues, for marriage and committed love affairs, for harmony, fertility, inspiration, joy and for protection

Her colour is red
