Egyptian Mythology: Bastet: The Cat Goddess
wiki: Bastet or Bast (Ancient Egyptian: bꜣstjt "She of the Ointment Jar", Coptic: Ⲟⲩⲃⲁⲥⲧⲉ /ubastə/) was a goddess of ancient Egyptian religion, worshiped as early as the Second Dynasty (2890 BCE). Her name is also translated as B'sst, Baast, Ubaste, and Baset. In ancient Greek religion, she is also known as Ailuros (Koine Greek: αἴλουρος "cat").
Bastet was worshipped in Bubastis in Lower Egypt, originally as a lioness goddess, a role shared by other deities such as Sekhmet. Eventually Bastet and Sekhmet were characterized as two aspects of the same goddess, with Sekhmet representing the dangerous side of her personality and Bastet, who was increasingly depicted as a cat, representing her benign side.

I read somewhere that in order to defeat the Egyptians , the Persians attached cats on their shields. The Egyptians were so afraid to hurt such a sacred animal they hesitated too much to attack and this is how they lost. Nobody is sure if it is true, but the fact that this theory exists just shows how much cats were respected in the Egyptian society! Very fascinating!

Bastet was originally a Lioness, but over time became more Cat like, due to the newfound perks of having cats. Her sister Secktmet, still kept her Lioness appearance due to her furiosity.

They say that BASTET was originally a Lioness. This information is very INCORRECT. BASTET (Cat Goddess) and SEKHMET (Lioness Goddess) are 2 very separate Beings. They are Sisters. They are both 2 of my many Higher Selves (Incarnations).
Imagine if you could go back in time and show these modern artworks to the ancient Egyptians. Their minds would be blown and they would love you so much for such gifts to their gods.

The ancient Egyptians had a lot of respect for cats and of course a healthy fear of bast 🙀
I once had a cat, that despised my then step dad, the only man he ever liked was my brother, it didn’t matter how much time my step dad spent with him, the cat hated him, we later found out after my cat had passed away, that my step dad was cheating on my mum, it funny how he knew all along.

I had my cat cremated just recently, when I die I want him to be either buried or scattered with me(depends if I want to be cremated). I just don't think someone would take care of his remains like I do.

One of my many HIGHER SELVES, the CAT GODDESS BASTET. GODDESS SEKHMET is another of my HIGHER SELVES, the LIONESS. They are 2 very different individuals. Their relationship is that of SOUL SISTERS.
My friend…. Very good episode…..but… you left out very important information, which is vital to Bastets story… Bastet ushered Ra back and forth meaning, she entered a room before Ra, and left the room first….as a signal Ra was right beside the god…… it may not make sense to the individual……but again….we are talking about Atlantean technology and the wording is important….because in the Book of the dead (instruction manual) works in tandem with the myths….the Book of the Dead instructs one to start with a 7 cubit long serpentine stone base, then describes the workings of Bennu Birds each 7 cubits long, it describes the setup in a religious format….(it was the way things were before the fall of Atlantans, the Egyptian gods). King Tuts Golden Shrines are part of that Atlantean setup…how do I know? The instructions on the shrine dictate this…. There are two sets of information on the shrines….the book of the dead, and the other symbology which is mixed in…. Thanks for reading… I do have a twitter site which I show how these items are constructed, function and then work when added to water….
