Sekhmet, Mistress of Flame, Eye of Ra ❤️‍🔥

She is the goddess of both healing and disease. Worship of Sekhmet was intended for protection against disease and appeasing her anger and destructive nature. She is depicted with the sun disk to reflect her beneficial qualities and the Uraeus to suggest the destructive proprieties of the cobra. The venom of the cobra brings death but if used correctly it can also be a medicine. Therefore, she is a symbol of transformative anger. She offers fierce compassion and encourages us to face fear with courage.

Prints are coming soon. Let me know if you want one.

Hymn to Sekhmet

O Luminous Queen of heaven,

You whose Father fashioned you in the image of Ma’at,

Whose heart is of faultless justice, embodying righteousness,

I offer you my praise, O Sekhmet.

All glory is yours, O Lady of the Knives,

Whose reckoning is swift and sure;

The stroke of Thy weapon sunders all evil

Which you cast underfoot for all perpetuity –

All things Thou destroy shall never again rise up.

Most venerable daughter of the One Most High,

All evil trembles before Thy name,

Knowing its day soon approaches.

Exact is your justice, O Fire embodying the holy wrath of your Father,

Thou Retributor most righteous and mighty,

Repaying evil sixfold.

O Thou One Most Terrible,

I prostrate myself before you,

Knowing my iniquity goes not unseen.

O Mother Sekhmet, Lady of Plague and Healing,

Empower me to cast all wickedness within and without underfoot,

And let me never compromise with isft.

Purge within me by Thy holy flame all evil,

That I might serve you most faithfully in Ma’at.

Dua Sekhmet, O Lady who is without match or rival!
