The Ancient Temple of Bastet (1 Viewer)

[mestell]

Bastet, also known as Bast, is one of the most worshipped deities in ancient Egyptian mythology. She is often depicted as a lioness or as a woman with the head of a lioness or a domestic cat. Bastet's transformation from a lioness warrior goddess to a more nurturing cat goddess highlights her dual nature – both fierce and gentle.

Bastet was revered as a guardian of households, ensuring their safety and prosperity. Families often kept amulets or statues of Bastet in their homes for protection. Due to her nurturing and protective qualities, Bastet was also closely associated with fertility and childbirth. Women would pray to her for a safe and healthy pregnancy.

That’s a great piece and a good size. As you know I looked into getting it as well, reasonably cheap around $20, but the postage from memory was $80, so I could not justify it. Robin.
