=Bovine Worshippers= Do you think that cows should have their own god or goddess? Well, the ancient egyptians did! Hathor, a nuturing goddess of music, love, dance and beauty was one of the oldest godesses in egyptian mythology. She is belived to have horns or head of a cow, a sundisk resting in between the horns and is is usually dipicted wearing a red dress. Hathor is supposed to be responsible for the union of the two lands in Egypt at the time, Upper Egypt and Lower Egypt to form one land.

She is said to be very close to Bastest goddess of cats and Isis, the goddess of magic and the moon, father being Ra, the sun god and wife to Horus, the god of pharoahs.She is also said to have the power to predict the destiny of any newborn child, protector all women in child birth and also provide spirtual norishment to all souls of the dead. She was involved with many things leading to nearly all the goddesses being associated with her.

A certain myth states that her father Ra wanted to punish man-kind and sent Hathor to do the job. Hathor soon became so engrossed with the task that she did more damage than the other gods expected, So to calm her down, the gods made a strong beer and dyed it with red ochre, and Hathor thinking it blood, drank it and became so intoxicated that she ceased her task and returned back to her normal duties as a goddess
