Bast things

Often these things don’t get mentioned to people new to working with her so I’m going to disclose some of my UPG.

- Yes, she is motherly to a fault. You gotta take the good with the bad. She will love you and listen to you.

- That being said, she will absolutely not hesitate to clap in your face about self care.

- ESPECIALLY about moisturising.

- Offering her things you’re about to put in a bath is a 100% viable offering. Especially if it contains flowers, honey, milk or all 3.

- Remember those resources you read about her loving red or white candles? Guess what red and white makes. That’s right, she also loves pink candles.

- “Womens truths”. Think about it, she favours lesbians/wlw.

- Cats can and will appear everywhere, particularly if she wants to reach you.

- At some point you’ll bring something home that you won’t even know she likes. Suddenly you’re at her shrine and it is hers.

- Of all the deities I’ve worshipped, she is the one that pops in and out the most as she pleases. Including during offerings. It’s not that she doesn’t love you, that’s just how she is.

Best of luck contacting her, I hope this helps 🖤💛.

Bast,

Lady of the Sun and Moon

Grant us aid as we fight to break the bonds in our minds and hearts,

Help us break free of the darkness that haunts us,

Shred the memory of our abusers with your great claws,

And devour their hearts so that we might be free,

Bright warrior,

Eye of Ra,

Be with us as we walk from the gates of our prisons,

Perfumed Protector,

Grant us the balm of laughter,

And celebrate when we learn to dance again

(A prayer to Bast for those recovering from abuse)

[dreadfulstar]

Bast

You told them to bring you

the smallest, weakest cub.

You made her a warrior in your name.

You seem to still seek one out.

I was nothing worthwhile,

feeling like a mistake, weakling, miserable.

You spied upon me.

You saw I was one destined for you.

With a gentle swipe,

you walk with your arm draped over.

You played the sistrum for me

as I danced with my lonesome nothing.

You sat across from me,

hearing every word I wrote.

Your eyes must have gleamed when you saw

I scrawled images of you across every notebook.

You saw I needed to grow,

that I needed to find you on my own time.

When my time came,

when you were more than just a story,

you crouched above my burning candle

with your outstretched paw.

I came to you,

your smallest, weakest cub.

I love BASTET

[only-fragments]

A samhain/Halloween prayer to Bast to remember the cats one has known and knows. Light a candle for each cat you wish to remember and let them burn down through the night.

—

Dua Bast, Lady of the East, of the Flame, and of the Truth!

Dua Bast, She Who is Without Equal!

Dua Bast, Fierce and Protective Mother Cat!

On this night I come before You to remember those who have passed,

to honor the memory of Your children with whom I shared a life

and who now reside with You in the Eternal Land.

With this candle I remember ________.

With this candle I remember those who yet live; ______________.

May this offering of flame bring You joy as You watch over their spirits;

may this offering of food bring You strength as You protect Your living children.

On this night I honor You as the Mother Cat, sharp of claw and strong of heart,

keen of eye and fierce of love,

and all of Your children in this world and the next.

Dua Bast, Lady of the East, of the Flame, and of the Truth!

Dua Bast, She Who is Without Equal!

Dua Bast, Fierce and Protective Mother Cat!

Dua Bast!

Could you pretty please write a prayer for Bast? 🐱 May She bless! 🕯🔮

Sure! Any particular theme or focus?

[only-fragments]

Our hearts are one, Mother!

When I rejoice, you rejoice

When you mourn, I mourn

When I am wrathful, you are enraged

When you are joyful, I am delighted

Our hearts are one, Mother!

(Sorry this took so long, @weaverprovince!)

[daughterofbastet]

Small prayer for Bastet

Goddess of Cats, Protectress and Bringer of Joy, you, like the gentle morning sun, brighten my heart and with your guidance I share that happiness and light with the world. Your paw prints are marked on my life and in return I send you my love. Dua Bastet!

My favorite Epithets for Bast:

Who rises on the horizon

She with the powerful heart

Lady of heaven and earth

Lady of light

Mistress of splendor

Who dispels darkness

Who creates the rays

Who allows the two lands to flourish

Who protects her father

Who fills the palace with joy

Lady of the birth houses

The mistress of protection in the Divine Pasture

Lady of life

The mistress of the breath of life

The mistress of manifestations

The mistress of jewelry 

She with pleasant scent

The devouring flame

The eye of Ra

Whose flame comes out against her enemies

Who inflicts massacre against the crooked-hearted

The very popular one (to the gods)

The mistress of messengers

Who delights Ra with the beat of her fingers (as a musician)

I just want people to KNOW i’m a witch without me saying it. I want them to see how cats and crows gather around me and treat me like i’m one of them. I want to be the dark disney princess.
