The Maatian laws addressed some of the most important aspects of human relating and that is self-respect and respect for other communal members. These laws were so complete that it included the honoring of neighbors, the ecology and the universe as well. For all these things represented the one great body of the Creator. All relationships were governed by laws and protocols that extracted from them the most honorable thoughts and behavior. This was one of the strengths of Kushitic community and many like-African communities throughtout the diaspora and that is social customs and traditions that were based on pure respect and love of humanity and the Creator. Within these communities, women and girls enjoyed a very special existential place among peacemakers, romantics and philosophers. Their position as communal members was not disputed and they were respected in every sphere of society. Rather it was in the temple, government, the royal house or the domestic sphere, no one insulted the presence of womahood and the unseen presence that also shares her space. This is why in many ancient societies women had such a high level of personal power, inner peace and clearity about themselves and the world. Their social space was full of love, compassion and understanding. This is what all minds and souls need to grow and develop and the laws of MAAT was one of the tools used to create a communal environment that was fertile for spiritual reflection and maturity.

The laws of MAAT were fundamental to the society of Kushits and Khemits. Laws of governance were created and perpetrated by the early Mothers. Many of these laws were influenced and originate with totemic laws which governed many aboriginal communities. These aboriginal laws would manifest themselves later as the laws of religion
