Lady of the Rising Sun
Each morning we greet the rising sun- for me the dawn is especially wonderful because it reminds me of Bastet. Bastet was the first goddess to call to me and the first to whom I became devoted. This is not meant to be a meditation piece, so I will not go into detail, but I do wish to share some song lyrics I’ve adapted from Lisa Thiel’s Lady of the Flowing Waters for Bastet, which I often sing in the mornings: Lady of the Rising Sun Lady of the Morning Lady of the Eastern Horizon Lady of the Desert Bastet is She Who Is All Daughter, wife, and mother She keeps us safe within her claws Fierce and loving warrior
Lady of the Ointment Jar Lady of Healing Lady of the Sun and Moon Lady Eye of Ra Bastet is She Who is All Cat, lioness, and woman She keeps us safe within her claws Forever guiding protection.
Lady of the Rising Sun Lady Eye of Ra Lady of the Ointment Jar Lady of the Dawn.
