[IridescentSiren]

Will mail my underworld group Monday. When you die Anubis escorts you to Ma'at who weighs your heart against her feather...if the heart is found lacking Ammit gets to eat it. Thoth records it all.View attachment 831554

Amazing set, janae! Really cool and a clever idea that all of them has a connection with each other

These are so great! I love that you went with the underworld theme. I'm also leaning in that direction, still thinking it over.

No worries at all, thank you for adding me in. Very excited about this theme!!!

Here's my first card for the swap, the androsphinx!
This type of sphinx (very common in egyptian mythology), symbolized royal power, divine wisdom, and the strength of the pharaoh, standing watch over sacred temples and tombs. Unlike the greek version, egyptian sphinxes didn't have wings! (Source: google and wikipedia).
Feel free to post pics of your atcs for us to see

It was hard not to do Osiris and Isis

 

[jo.on.the.go]

Here are my cards:
Each figure is accompanied with his/her name in heiroglyphs

Anubis
God of funerary rites, protector of graves and guid to the underworld

Bastet
Goddess of protection, pleasure and bringer of good health

Horus
God of war and the sky

Nut
Goddess of sky, stars, and cosmos, separating earth from heaven. The goddess was often pictured on the inside of a sarcophagus to protect the deceased

Oh gosh very nice

 

[novascotiacrafter]

Ok I think I’m going to grab a spot before there’s none left, if I could join please that would be great

I was curious why no one was finding monsters in the mythology and I guess it's a short list. I also found how you can pass Ma'at's feather test and it is not a short list but a good one.

Glad to add you to the fun, novascotiacrafter!

Thank you si much for sharing this information with us. Yes, I've been reading and trying to find about monsters and other deities. So far, it is like you mentioned, the list is short.
Ma'at test sounds like the list of positive affirmations we all need
