Bastet Waiting For Sekhmet
Bastet had the roles of fertility, protector of children and the protector of all cats. Bastet became so popular that she became a household goddess. Bastet’s counterpart was the goddess Sekhmet who represented the cat goddess’ destructive force. Sekhmet is known as the goddess of war and pestilence. Together, Bastet and Sekhmet represented the balance of the forces of nature in Egypt.

Wonderful image! I can feel that Golden light. of those Ancient masters! I went all the way to Egypt to visit the Temple of Ascension at Luxor – the etheric home of Serapis Bey – and said yes to the question ‘are you sure you are ready for ascension?’ Ha! What a journey!!!!!!!
But blessings in the NOW and eternity!
