The Evermore Grimoire: Mythology

Hathor (ḥwt-ḥr meaning ‘House of Horas’) was a major goddess who played a wide variety of roles including love, fertility, women, sky, music and dance in Egyptian mythology. As a sky deity, she was the mother or consort of the sky god Horus and the sun god Ra, both of whom were connected with kingship, and thus she was the symbolic mother of their earthly representatives, the pharaohs. She was originally a personification of the Milky Way, which was considered to be the milk that flowed from the udders of a heavenly cow. Hathor was also known as ‘Lady of Stars’ and ‘Sovereign of Stars’ and linked to the brightest star in the night sky, Sirius.
