Principles of MAAT: "VIRTUES OF MAAT
MAAT: The symbolic representation of Maat as a human figure with outreached hands and wings, is the Netcher of the weighing of the soul in ancient Kemet.

This symbolic weighing of the heart against the feather of truth (Ma�t) was performed to established the righteousness of the deceased. The scale of Ma�t was balanced after the recitation of the '42' Declarations of Innocence or Admonitions of Ma�t. pg. 91, NVCTC.

James in his timeless work Stolen Legacy writes: The following of the 10 virtues were sought by the Neophyte in ancient Kemet. In the final analysis, the ancient Kemites sought Maat or to be more correct they sought to become one with Maat, the cosmic order."
