The
Menet was an intricately beaded necklace, usually made with semi-precious
stones sacred to Hathor (namely turquoise, malachite and lapis lazuli) that was
clasped together with a bronze disc with a handle so it could alternately be
used as a type of rattle and a necklace. The menet was looked upon as perhaps
the most potent of the ritual implements of Hathor as when it was worn it
represented one who had gained her powers or had become like Hathor. |
HATHOR:
Egyptian Mother of the Gods
Joy, Motherhood, Childbirth, Royal Succession, and Feminine
Goodness
Hathor is associated with the heavenly womb, brought forth in primeval time. Her
temples were birthing rooms bearing images of the seven frame drum and sistrum
playing Hathors who brought blessed souls to newborns. These deities conferred
their protection upon the newborn child.
During childbirth, in ancient Egypt, a woman would squat on a pair of
elaborately decorated clay bricks. The bricks show a woman transformed into a
goddess at the moment of giving birth. The new mother and her midwives would
call on Hathor, the goddess of fertility and motherhood, in an effort to protect
the newborn child. Birth was not just a physical event, but a supercharged
magical and religious time. Ancient Egyptians equated the birth of a child to
the birth of the sun on the eastern horizon.
Hathor's name means "The Dwelling of Horus", for it was thought that
Horus as the Sun God came to rest each evening on her breast before being reborn
with the awakening dawn.
Hathor is the great Sky-Goddess that as a celestial cow gave birth to the
universe. She was often represented as a cow or with bovine attributes such as a
cow's head, cow's ears, or horns on her headdress. She is the embodiment of all
that is best in women. Hathor was also considered the Goddess of music, song,
dance and lighthearted pleasure.
As a Moon Goddess, She was protectress of pregnant women and midwives. Her main
cult centre was at Dendera, where she was worshipped along with her husband,
Horus. Hathor was the Supreme Goddess of sexual love in Egypt, identified by the
Greeks with Aphrodite. Her temple at Dendera was "The House of Intoxication
and Enjoyment."
Her priestesses carried two instruments; the sistrum, a bronze sacred rattle and
the menat, a necklace, thick with beads.
SISTRUM SYMBOLISM
The sistrum's shape forms an ankh with bars attached inside the loop which holds
small cymbal-like objects that make a sound similar to a tambourine when
rattled. There were two types of sistrums used: the ankh-shaped was mainly used
in public celebrations and festivals, like the Bast Sistrum found
here. The second had the face of Hathor at the bottom and the top was
usually in the shape of a "naos", or shrine, as seen in our Hathor
Sistrum above.
Used in rites of invocation and initiati it was said the sound of the sistrum
would soothe and placate Hathor in order to invoke her more amiable side.
Due to this special relation with music, the priests and priestesses who resided
in Dendera were usually accomplished musicians and dancers, and a festival was
not complete without their presence. |
