prompt no.7 libra
"O! What on earth are you up to Clem??"
.
"I'm having a party! I've brought out all the goodies and toys, you see!"
.
"Yes, I see that, but why do you have Beethoven on the scales??"
.
"O, well, if you want to come to the party, I have to weigh you against my feather of truth and justice -- if you balance with it, then you get to come; if you don't, well, I'm afraid that's no treats for you then".
.
"But Clem, that isn't very fair, is it? What if one of them is heavier?"
.
"O, never fear -- the animals always balance with my feather -- they've never done a single bad thing in their lives! Anyway, they like swinging on the plate! Would you like to be weighed against my feather?"
.
"Um no.. I'm busy".
.
An overcast day, but carving on my new dolly is well underway, yay! Clem decided to take advantage of the tiny bit of sun to do her interpretation of Maat's feather for prompt no.7 #libra for the #juliac zodiac art challenge 😊 Maat refers to the ancient Egyptian concepts of truth, justice, balance, harmony and so forth -- as well as the goddess who personified them -- and shares many similarities with the sign of Libra. In the Egyptian underworld, the hearts of the dead were weighed against the feather of Maat -- if the heart was lighter, or equal in weight, it meant the deceased had led a virtuous life and would go on to paradise; if the heart was heavier, the goddess Ammit would devour it ⚖
