[08] -- SEKHMET

✦ TITLE: Lady Sekhmet -- The Goddess of War, Fire, Womanhood, and Vengeance

✦ SACRED ANIMAL: The Lioness ✦ DIVINE WEAPON: Battle Axe ✦ NOTABLE EPITHETS: "Lady of Slaughter; Mistress of Dread; Devouring Flame; The One Before Whom Evil Trembles" ✦ PROFILE: https://deitiesproject.com/portfolio/sekhmet/

----------

Lady Sekhmet, "The Eye of Ra," is the eldest of Ra’s daughters. Her sisters include Mafdet, Hathor, Serqet, and Bastet.

Sekhmet is known for her frightening power in battle, with the fierce intensity of a seasoned huntress and warrioress. She's a goddess of few words and little room for leniency. Though not quick to anger, her unbridled rage can have devastating consequences once provoked.

Sekhmet's another supporting character from the main story of DEITIES -- a powerful goddess who's not to be messed with or crossed. My fun fact for her will be some extended backstory that many already know:

In many versions of Egyptian Mythology, Sekhmet was tasked with culling the mortals who were blaspheming and conspiring against her father and king, Lord Ra. But her wrath and bloodlust had caused her to nearly slaughter all of humanity. This would have led to mankind's extinction, were it not for the intervention of the other gods and mortals working together to calm Sekhmet's mind and end the massacre.

By the start of the main story of DEITIES, the pantheon and mortals have recovered since that incident, and Sekhmet has reformed herself to remain a well-respected goddess. But I imagine it's still not a moment that Sekhmet is proud of or likes to revisit, and one that most beings are wise enough not to bring it up in her presence (emphasis on most -- some of ya'll are bold lmao).

At the very least, I'd like to think it makes her a good foil for Set, and vice versa -- something I'd like to explore more sometime... 🤔✨

Sekhmet... is a warrior goddess as well as goddess of healing. She is depicted as a lioness, the fiercest hunter known to the Egyptians. It was said that her breath formed the desert. She was seen as the protector of the pharaohs and led them in warfare.(Wikipedia)

Transparent image of Sekhmet I did for an extra credit project two years ago
