The name Ma’athematics is a reflection of the Kemetic (Ancient Egyptian) concept of Ma’at, signifying balance, order, truth, righteousness harmony, reciprocity and equilibrium. We believe that restoring and maintaining a loving unity with nature will bring about a balance and order, and ultimately a peace, to our earth. In the hieroglyphs, the concept of Ma’at is often personified as a winged goddess, or a goddess standing atop a platform with an ostrich feather in her hair, regulating the stars, seasons, and actions of both mortals and deities. It is believed that Ma’at set the universe from chaos at the moment of creation and that Ma’at is the fundamental order of the universe, without which, all creation would perish.
These concepts are of course, very large shoes to fill. But as long as I stay committed to my vision, and keep the integrity of my products unshakably sound, then I feel that these ideals are possible. It is definitely possible to set this planet apart from the chaos that has ensued over the years. Through reciprocity, taking from our earth, only as much as we need, and replenishing rather than polluting are the first and most important steps.
