The Lady of Bubastis

A temple for the Golden One, who rises in the horizon. She is the Mistress of Splendor who fills the palace with joy. She is the Breath of Life and also the Mother of the deceased. The Fiery One whom takes the hearts of her enemies. She is the Lady of Bubastis. She is Bast.

Couldn’t help myself, I had to do a Halloween picture. Meet Nebula and her siblings, who didn’t get to spend much time together in life. But, thanks to a certain spooky holiday, they still get to meet up every year to spend quality candy-and-brains-gathering time together!

If you like this picture (or want to surprise your friend), you can buy it as a print!

Special thanks to @d0gsd0gsd0gs for skelekitty anatomy help.

How do you ask Bast's forgiveness?

Honestly? I would just speak to her. Offer her something nice as a token of your apology and communicate. Tell her you’re sorry, tell her how you’ve learned your mistake and how you’re going to make up for it in the now. Then, if she accepts your apology and forgives you, be sure to do what you said. Though do know, depending upon the infraction, she may not be able to forgive you and that is just something you’re going to have to breathe deep about and continue onward. Obviously, take it as a lesson to not do what ever it was you did again. Sometimes deities need space too. After you give your sincere apology, the ball is in her court whether she wants to work with you after that or not. I wish you well, anon.

Among the many cities which thus attained to a great elevation, none (I think) was raised so much as the town called Bubastis, where there is a temple of the goddess Bubastis [Bast], which well deserves to be described. Other temples may be grander, and may have cost more in the building, but there is none so pleasant to the eye as this of [Bast]. [sic] The following is a description of this edifice: Excepting the entrance, the whole forms an island. Two artificial channels from the Nile, one on either side of the temple, encompass the building, leaving only a narrow passage by which it is approached. These channels are each a hundred feet wide, and are thickly shaded with trees. The gateway is sixty feet in height, and is ornamented with figures cut upon the stone, six cubits high, and well worthy of notice. The temple stands in the middle of the city, and is visible on all sides as one walks round it; for as the city has been raised by embankment, while the temple has been left untouched in its original condition, you look down upon it wheresoever you are. A low wall runs round the enclosure, having figures engraved upon it, and inside there is a grove of beautiful tall trees growing round the shrine, which contains the image of the Goddess. The enclosure is a furlong in length, and the same in breadth. The entrance to it is by a road paved with stones for a distance of about three furlongs, which passes straight through the market-place in an easterly direction, and is about four hundred feet in width. Trees of extraordinary height grow on each side of the road, which, conducts from the temple of [Bast] to that of Mercury.

Made a simple shrine for Bast, and my first offering! It’s a hideaway shrine in one of those book-looking box things since I haven’t told anyone irl.

altar for bast has been looking super nice lately (・ω・)ノ

[senzyibast]

She’s so beautiful ✨💕

[fiberartandspells]

I made a little cat sculpture as an offering to Bast, but I’m not sure if I want to cast her and make a serie or to keep her one of a kind. Maybe I should sculpt another one entirely for casting purposes.

Need to make up my mind before I start painting her… :/

» Hekau of the Netjeru Edition: Bast

They are fearless. The Hekau of Bast do not linger or hesitate. They will claw at whatever necessary to protect their own. Following the Iryt-Ra’s guidance, her Hekau have embers glowing on their heels. Smoke and ashes are but a small part that tell you they have been there. They know the way to dance in an entrancing way, only to disembowel you a moment later. They were known for their wrath but the tidings of sweet oils and gold could placate them.

Okay, my final setup for these guys. Getting a strong urge to paint Yinepu’s background blue and change the flowers at his feet but that can come later.

Ra is my Beloved but he’s still kinda like my space dad. Plus I live in the desert, he’s kinda a big deal. The other three don’t seem to mind his large house either. They probably felt bad seeing him in his first one. XD

I was in an autumn-y sort of mood so I updated Bast’s flowers. She received an offering of music and a little cleaning. My calendar says tomorrow is a Procession of Bast but my family will be home all day so I don’t think that’ll happen.

***PLEASE DO NOT REPOST***

So a few people really liked the preview of my Bastet piece and wanted to see the full thing so here it is! I don’t think it’s finished (needs more detail) but I’m done messing with it for now.
