For a special friend / Who has walked many lifetimes with me, / And beyond… / One who knew the silent footfall of the cat goddess, / Whose lips have sung to the dark grace of Bast, / Who has danced with Gods and evoked the spirit of Anubis… / And carried their magic through the ages / To a world that has forgotten. / Beneath the crown of divine Mother, / Her beauty is ageless, her wisdom a gift. / Time flows past so slowly, / Yet whether for a day, or a lifetime, / Her memory brings warmth, / And no matter the distance, she always sees - / Beyond this world, beneath your facades - / She knows what is real, and sees who you are. / There is no hiding when her light shines upon you. / Precious sister, you walk in another land, / and so many suns have set, since I felt your smile. / But you are remembered. and today I honour you. / (Happy Birthday Kylee)

Bast, now has colour and i’ve tryed to keep the colours as close to Egyptian as i could, This is one of those images i have fallen in love with and soon will be taking pride of place on my wall, / Bast is a protector of the kings of Egypt, and her spirt lives on with those cats who share our homes today, i hope you all like it and i’m looking forward to your feed back on the now finished image.
Cats are very, very good at reclining…This one feels (as do most of them) that she deserves nothing but the best. Bring on the caviar and dancing birds!

Bast is the Egyptian goddess with the body of a maiden and the head of a cat. She is the Goddess of cats, the rising sun as well as the moon, truth, enlightenment, sexuality and birth, fertility and the harvest, the home, music, dance and the arts, among many other attributes. She is also sometimes considered to be the Egyptian version of the Greek Artemis and Roman Diana. Halloween was originally celebrated as the Feast of Bast and Sekhmet. Sekhmet is Bast’s twin sister, who has a lion head. While Bast is associated with life, Sekhmet is associated with death and is the destroyer goddess). In this stylized, abstracted portrait, I portrayed Bast with a golden corona or solar disc to represent the rising sun and life. The triangles are a symbol of fertility as well as the creative power. Mixed Media (liquid copper leaf, gold acrylic, oil pastels, colored pencils, and black art marker) on tan Canson pastel paper. Original work measures 19×12.5 inches. View more of my artwork at www.lynnetteshelley.com Also check out my companion piece to this artwork – Bast’s sister goddess Sekhmet
Sekhmet means “The Mighty One.” Sister Goddess to Bast, the lion-headed Sekhmet was the avenger / warrior Goddess in ancient Egypt and one of the most powerful of the Egyptian mythological gods and goddesses. She embodied the destructive force of the sun and she meted out divine punishment on behalf of the gods and the pharoahs. Conversely, she was also a goddess of healing and of surgery and medicines. She is usually depicted in red dress to denote her avenging nature and she is also known as the “Eye of Ra”. Original artwork measures 12.5×19 inches and was created with liquid copper leaf, gold paint pen, oil pastels, colored pencils, black art marker on heavy textured Strathmore paper. This artwork is a companion piece to my depiction of Sekhmet’s gentler sister Bast Bast of the Rising Sun View more of my artwork online at www.lynnetteshelley.com
