[Concerning the invisible god] some say that he is Aapep when he riseth up with a head bearing upon it [the feather of] Maat (Truth). But others say that he is Horus when he riseth up with two heads, whereon one beareth [the feather of] Maat, and the other [the symbol of] wickedness. He bestoweth wickedness on him that worketh wickedness, and right and truth upon him that followeth righteousness and truth.
The Papyrus of Ani (The Egyptian Book of the Dead), translated by E A Wallis Budge

We pass from this life and dissolve into naught
And our hearts are weighed with the feather of Maat.
Escort me to your eternal mansion;
I raise up the cup and adore Babalon!
