The ancient Egyptians believed that, when a person passes from this world to the next, the Goddess Ma at weighs their heart against the weight of a feather. If the heart was weighed down with troubles caused by actions taken during their lifetime, then the heart might outweigh the feather and their soul would be devoured. If the feather and the heart were balanced, and one did not outweigh the other, then it was the sign of a balanced and virtuous life. The Gray Feather is a publication dedicated to honest and balanced perspectives of the spiritual, philosophical, and religious mysteries of our world. It is a celebration of the truth that exists in the hearts of those who seek spiritual truth. We recognize that the world does not exist in absolutes; there is no black or white. Truth, therefore, exists in the shades of gray between.
