I am so absolutely in love with this statue of Sekhmet

Dua Sekhmet

Dua Sekhmet-Bast

[mvaljean525]

Mother of the gods, the One, the Only, Mistress of the crowns, thou rulest all; Sekhmet is thy name when thou art wrathful, Bast, beloved, when thy people call.

Daughter of the Sun, with flame and fury Flashing from the prow upon the foe;

Safely sails the Boat with thy protection Passing scatheless where thy fires glow.

Daughter of the Sun, the burial chamber Lies in the darkness till thy light appears.

From thy Throne of Silence send us comfort, Bast, beloved, banish all our fears.

Mother of the gods, no gods existed Till thou camest there and gave them life.

Sekhmet of the Boat, the wicked fear thee Trampling down all evil and all strife.

Mother of the gods, the great, the loved one, Winged and mighty, unto thee we call,

Naming thee the Comforter, the Ruler, Bast, beloved, Mother of us all.

[ptah-ikemi-ka]

is there a Bast-Sekhmet?

or a Sekhmet-Bast?

like I was watching Ganja Burn’s video by Nicki Minaj and when she was out in that costume with that gold solar disk halo thingy I was getting Pings and Feels that was Half Bast and Half Sekhmet...

Dua Sekhmet! Dua Sekhmet-Bast!

I had a bad bug recently, and as I lay be-plauged on my couch, I prayed to Sekhmet-Bast for healing. I visualized myself at the foot of her statue, and it comforted me to know that she is there, listening to me, when I felt so miserable. To be a goddess of healing is to be a goddess of one of the purest, most love-filled, and most awe-inspiring forces in the universe.

Moodboard offering for Sekhmet-Bast

[a-quiet-path]

Sekhmet’s role in my life is changing, with her now appearing as Sekhmet-Bast. Maahes has also appeared, apparently as a part of whatever comes next.

Sekhmet was instrumental in the healing I’ve done so far, so I’d guess that the Gods have decided that I’m in a good place to transition to the next step, whatever that is.

I don’t know what to make of the fact that so many “new” Gods have been appearing to me, other than the idea that my life is going to change greatly in the next little while.

None of the changes so far have been unwelcome, but I also don’t feel that I’m much closer to the things I actually want, or that the Gods want for me.

Truth be told, I’m growing impatient. I feel like I’ve been waiting for so long, always putting the future I want on hold because of the present.

Maybe that’s gonna change, maybe not. Either way, I will try to be patient during this time of transformation.
