Hathor
the golden lady of love and the sky-river
waterHathor is joy given a body — music, wine, love, and the gentle welcome that greets the dead at the western horizon; to dream of her is to be met with tenderness, and to remember that pleasure and comfort are also holy.
Fragments

Her priestesses shook the sistrum until the air itself seemed to laugh, and the goddess poured out drunkenness and dancing as another god might pour out law.
