The cow-headed goddess Hathor was
worshiped from the earliest days
of Ancient Osirion, and remained
a popular deity throughout its history.
A divinity of air and sky, Hathor is also a
goddess of beauty and love, happiness and
merriment. She is the queen of the dance, the
mistress of music, and the sovereign of song.
Hathor is a wife, a mother, and a lover, a goddess
of fertility, sexuality, and motherhood . She is
also a goddess of trade and goods that bring
wealth from foreign lands.
Hathor is the daughter of Ra, and sister
to Bastet, Maat, and Sekhmet. She is the
consort of Horus, and as he is a god of
kings, so is she a goddess of queens,
though she is venerated by royalty and
commoners alike.
Hathor appears as a voluptuous cow-headed woman with the solar disk of her father Ra between her horns and carrying a sistrum. Sometimes she is depicted as a human woman with a horned headdress. More rarely, she is depicted as a great wild cow whose milk nourishes the living.
Rejoice in the generosity and love of the open sky.
Hathor is a patron and protector of women, and is worshiped by mothers, wives, and lovers of all ages. She also serves as a patron of bards, dancers, musicians, and performers, which makes her a popular deity in thriving cities and their playhouses. In her role as a goddess of trade, Hathor is also a patron of miners, particularly those who mine for precious stones. Hathor's priesthood is predominantly female, and her temples hold great festivals full of music and dance where worshipers consume large amounts of beer and wine and revel for days on end.
Alignment: CG goddess of dance, joy, love, music, and the sky.
Weapon: Short sword.
Symbol: Solar disk with horns.
