-'''[[Santa Muerte]]''' is a female deity and folk [[saint]] in Mexican folk [[Christianity|Catholicism]] and [[Paganism|Neopaganism]]. A personification of death, she is associated with healing, protection, and safe delivery to the afterlife by her devotees. Despite condemnation by the Catholic Church, and more recently Evangelical pastors, her cult has become increasingly prominent since the turn of the 21st century.
+'''[[Hathor]]'''  was a major goddess in ancient [[Egyptian religion]] who played a wide variety of roles. As a sky deity, she was the mother or consort of the sky god [[Horus]] and the sun god [[Ra]], both of whom were connected with kingship, and thus she was the symbolic mother of their earthly representatives, the pharaohs.
-Her present day following was first reported in Mexico by American anthropologists in the 1940s and was an [[occult]] practice until the early 2000s. According to R. Andrew Chesnut, Ph.D. in Latin American history and professor of religious studies, Santa Muerte is at the center of the single fastest-growing new religious movement in the world.
+She was one of several goddesses who acted as the Eye of Ra, Ra's feminine counterpart, and in this form she had a vengeful aspect that protected him from his enemies. Her beneficent side represented music, dance, joy, love, sexuality, and maternal care, and she acted as the consort of several male deities and the mother of their sons.
