☥ KANE CHRONICLES' EGYPTIAN GODS AND THEIR MAGICIAN'S HEADCANONS:
𓁴BAST(ET): GODDESS OF CATS AND PROTECTION, AND THE (Second) EYE OF RA ☥
A/N: Not gonna lie, I unabashedly channeled my love for cats and my own ideas of being like a cat into this headcanon. I mean come on, its BAST. I really had to.
EGYPTIAN GODS AND THEIR MAGICIANS MASTERLIST {A03} || {TUMBLR}
No joke, I think the people pursuing this path are highly motivated cat people which is saying something like Egyptian magicians where the Egyptians really like cats. So having a connection and talking to the goddess of Cats? Bast herself? MEOW LETS GO.
Bast’s path is Combat Magic, Healing Magic, and Animal Charming of Cats. Self explanatory, plain and simple right? It pretty much is but for what makes it up for the lack of options is its strength and skill. Rather than having more skill sets under this path, you’re pretty much made to focus on these three aspects and you’re going to master it all.
With Bast’s Combat Magic, her version favours less for brutal strength and more for agility and speed; much like a cat would be. When using her combat magic, you become much like a cat, able to leap and turn in the air, allowing you greater flexibility with quick precision like acrobatics with knives. It is also useful for general maneuverability across complex structures, as you are able to more easily parkour your way around when needed.
Basically, now you are able to be like a cat! Without having to cough hairballs either!
Another form of Bast’s Combat Magic is producing deadly claws to tear into enemies, or using her mighty paws to bat away enemies when needed.
Healing Magic comes just as easily as an off-shoot of Sekhmet who is also goddess of healing. You are best as curing diseases and thus curses and evil spirits-bau as cats were credited for getting rid of vermin and keeping diseases away and comes much more easily with connecting with Bast.
For general healing like wounds and actual physical damages to the body, you still need to practice and use it regularly to get the hang of it.
If you tap into Bast good enough, your healing magic has a cat purring effect that brings a lot of comfort and healing to your patients.
While not mentioned much, due to Bast’s connection to Ra as the Eye of Ra, pursuing her path allows you greater affinity with Fire elemental magic, and perhaps Earth magic as she was a protector of crops and as a land mammal. Your weakest elemental affinity is water because its opposition to the moon and fire, and well…cats generally don’t like water.
Especially since Bast is a desert cat deity and due to the nature of flowing magic, both you and Bast may not be especially not as keen with flowing water.
Talking with Bast and with her experience with the Kane siblings, this isn’t her first radio but is extremely curious why you decided to follow her path. It doesn’t really matter what reason you give her as she’ll be happy to teach you what she knows.
Expect her to be like a ‘mama’ cat where she’ll teach you the ropes in both a gentle yet rough manner where she lets you try something first yourself as an experience, but is there to catch you or turn you away if it's out of your depth.
The younger you are, the more protective she’s going to be which is very on par as she’s the Goddess of Protection and protects the children of the pharaoh in Ancient Egypt.
Depending how you are, she may or may not teach you things just yet or depending how dangerous your environment is; always telling you that you can always run away to live another day; especially if there are others who can take over.
Considering Bast typically hosts in cats, like her current host for the longest time was Muffins, Sadie Kane’s cat, don’t be disappointed if you’re not achieving the best as you can when channel large cat energy for sympathetic magic to work,
Animal Charming is going to bring so much joy if you love cats (which if you’re pursuing this path, you are a cat lover) and it’s going to be a step up from going pspspsp to the cats. Just cats, cats everywhere. Become the crazy cat lady™ and have your colony of cats as your army.
I feel like while you could use Bast’s Animal Charming for Large and Lesser cats, like tigers, cougars, panthers, and etc, I suggest getting a hand on regular cat animal charming before attempting. You might have a greater chance in animal charming a lion since Bast is also technically Sekhmet but there are risks around.
Still it’s always best to research on all kind of cats just in case- oh who are we kidding? We’re cat lovers, we’ve definitely researched into other cats and know how similar they can be.
Just imagine carrying all kinds of cat treats and toys on you because you never know. And catnip/Silvervine for…certain reasons. You regularly give catnip and other fine cat treats to Bast as an offering.
I can imagine you and Sadie Kane bonding over cats and Bast, and its not long until you both start bringing in stray cats and kittens over. You can literally feel Bast purring and chirping at all the kittens who are mewing for attention.
NOTE: It is unsure if you can charm a sphinx because of the cat animal charming skill, but it might not work because the Sphinx does have a human face and personality so it may not work in general. Do not attempt without thorough research and consultation.
However, given that the Egyptian Sphinx was seen as a protector of pharaohs and Egypt, and as a magician with the blood of the Pharaohs, there is a good chance that you could get along with a Sphinx.
“Oh, look what we have here, I sense a little kitten. You must have a great affinity towards cats and felines, if I am able to connect with you! Although you seem unassuming, I can sense the fire of independence in you. I am Bast, goddess of Cats and Protection, the Second Eye of Ra; show me your claws and I will show you how to use them well.”
