Bastet, Egyptian Cat Goddess

Bastet

Bastet, also known as Bast, was originally a Warrior Sun Goddess. She was later worshipped as a Moon Goddess of protection, music, dance, family and cats. The sistrum, a percussion instrument, is one of her symbols. Bastet’s name is written in hieroglyphs between the Eye of Horus and the Ankh on her throne.

Oh now that’s awesome!

Bast was also one of my fave characters in the Sandman series. 🙂

    I think I read them in the 90’s? Old series. But loved the artwork in them.
