Prayer to Bast/Bastet
Lady Bast, Beloved of the Gods, Right Eye and Daughter of Ra, the Living One On The Horizon, She With Great Strength who protects us and who protects her father, we call to you, oh Mighty Lady of Jubilation and Slaughter.
Thank you, beloved Daughter of Ra and Lady of Splendor, for the blessings you bestow on us every waking day.
Thank you, most powerful mother. Thank you for the peace and pleasure you bring into our homes; to the temples, sanctuaries, and statues we devote unto you; to your people and your beloved animals!
We are renewed by your blessings and grace each day; you are the rekindler of life, Beloved Lady of Bubastis, who grants your creation from the first occasion.
Goddess, you are the Concealed One and the Lady of the Breath of Life, who shows us love and affection and who grants us pleasure to experience the deepest fulfillment of life. Our hearts rejoice in your presence like the Lotus praises Ra at each new day.
Lady of Blossomings, you bring us joy and we thank you for bestowing this upon all of us! You have our love, oh beautiful Bast, Powerful One, The Great She Who Drives Out Darkness.
Offerings we make to you, flame of the Sun, Great Protectoress, Daughter of Delight, Fulfillment Made Manifest, Most Honored Bast!
Dua Bastet, may you rise with your father Ra and defeat the Enemy of Ra, and may both our hearts and our offerings rise unto you as well, as we worship and praise you, our most beautiful and richly decorated Lady of Splendor and Terror!
Dua Bastet!
is this a tad long? maybe, but i love long prayers. hope this suits your needs!
i took inspiration from a couple of other prayers to Bastet i could find, as well as our Great Lady's many epithets and titles.
