As a goddess, Hathor possesses several powers:
- Extended Longevity: Like all the other gods, Hathor can live an extremely long lifespan.
- Teleportation: Having been formerly a servant of the underworld, Hathor can teleport from place to place by removing the bracelet given to her by Horus.
- Hypnotism: As the goddess of love, Hathor possesses the ability to manipulate any man or woman, whether they be mortal, god or beast to do her bidding using an overwhelming emotion of love to control them.
- Clairvoyance: Hathor has the ability to see or find people using magic. She can enchant the sand in the desert to show her the whereabouts of two people connected by love and what they are doing in that moment - for both the living and the those journeying to the afterlife.
