The

The Welcome to Spirits podcast, a boozy dive into mythology, legends, and folklore.

Every week we pour a drink and learn about a new story from around the world.

I'm Amanda.

And I'm Julia, and it is another wonderful segment of denial isn't just a river in Egypt.

It's also what we've been doing by keeping an Egyptian mythology series from you on Spirits

podcast. Go in, Poet. That's it.

Listen, we still have a lot of options available, but that is the one that we kind of

nailed down last time we did one of these episodes. So it's what we're going for at the

moment. Thank you, Eric Silver. Thank you, all of you, for coming along with us on this journey

into, at least for me, Julia, the thing that sparked my love of mythology in the first place,

ancient Egypt and the absolute allure and fascinating history and rich imagery of this worldview that,

you know, I don't want to just get from children's books and cartoons, but I want to get from

the source. I want to get from these primary sources. And Amanda, I'm really glad you kind of

talked about the imagery of Egyptian mythology as a whole.

Because the goddess and also concept that we are going to be talking about today is definitely one that appears in a lot of art that is popularized about Egyptian mythology.

And you'll see a little bit what I mean in a little bit. But what we're

talking about today and who we're talking about today is Ma'at. Ma'at. I can't believe that like all of us,

she is a concept and a person. I can't wait. You know what? We are all concepts and also people at

the end of the day, Amanda. That's true. You know, like, have you ever described to somebody like, oh, this is a real, this is a real Jake?

Like, this person is a real Amanda in this aspect, a real Julia in this aspect.

I love that. I love when your role and mythos in a friend's life grows to exceed you and to become a representative example of something else.
