Bastet Egyptian Cat Goddess Symbolism
Bast is the Egyptian Goddess and protector of cats, women and
children. She is Goddess of the sunrise, love, fertility, birth, music
and dance. Bast is the Goddess
of the moon and possessor of the Utchat. The all seeing eye of her brother
Horus.
Her scared city is Bubastis, was in lower Egypt (the northern part).
Bubastis signifies "The House of Cats"
in ancient Egyptian. Bast feast day is celebrated on October 31. The
Egyptians celebrated the feast of Bast with merry making, music, dancing,
drinking much like our modern Marti Gras. Bast is often shown holding
a sistrum (a type of rattle), during the celebrating, worshipers shuck
a sistrum. Bast has a twin sister name Sekhmet. Together the twin sisters
formed the "Yin
Yang" of Egyptian religion. Bastet being the positive force
and Sekhmet being the destructive force. Bast is depicted in art many
ways, the most common is the body of young woman with the head of a
domestic cat. (Her sister, Sekhmet is shown with the head of a lioness).
Another popular form of Bast, is her earthly form, a seated cat, when
in this form her name changes to Bastet. Bast's sacred color is green.
