Also Featuring:

 


    
Hathor, Egyptian Mother Goddess of Love and Beauty
Hathor is linked with many attributes, including love and motherhood, as well as joy, fertility, the sky, and the underworld. She can handle it all! :)
Her dress is dusted with gold and adorned with the Egyptian hieroglyph for "moon"

 
Neith, Egyptian Creatrix
Her dress of vibrant lotus flowers is lovely!


I am Hatshepsut Maatkare, Pharaoh and Queen of Egypt. I also call myself the Goddess Maatkare, which means "Truth is the Soul of the Sun God." It was I who revived the cults of the Mothers during my reign, and despite a fierce campaign to erase my name from history, my monuments stand even today as a testament to women's strength and power.


 
Mella
From Zimbabwe, Mella is lucky to have a name which means "Courageous Daughter." What a wonderful menarche gift this would be, or just a gift to celebrate the woman in your life who knows how to express herself.  Mella wears a pink dress adorned with an African symbol meaning "Be Young," has outrageous pink hair, and a nice blue sodalite necklace.



 
Akhet, Egyptian Goddess of the Seasons
In the land of ancient Egypt, the seasons were all-important, the people's lives intricately tied to the turning of the year. The first and most important of the seasons, the time of Inundation, was named for Akhet. From July through November (roughly), the Nile would flood, bringing rich new soil for farming. Akhet was also associated with the horizon, and more specifically, where the sun sets on the horizon. I found the dichotomy of her symbolism (waxing fertility, waning day) particulary intriguing and felt it a good match for an Autumn Equinox doll.

I gave her the dark skin of fertile soil, but the yellow hair of the sun, and her fabric is sunset-colored leaves on a background of fertile green.
The result, if I may so, is pretty spunky. :D
