Bastet, the ancient Egyptian goddess of joy, fun, and love, female beauty, fertility, hearth, and cats, handmade wooden statue carved from ecological material.
There was polytheism in ancient Egypt. The pantheon of gods consisted of many zoomorphic deities. Among them was the goddess Bastet with the head of a cat. She is called Bast for short.
According to mythology, her father was the Sun, her mother was the Moon, her sister was Nut, and her brother was the Egyptian moon god Khonsu. Most often, the goddess was depicted as a silhouette of a woman, but with a cat's head.
Bastet was originally depicted as a lioness, but over the years she has become more of a smaller, feline figure in her appearance. She also moved from a vengeful goddess to a much more benevolent deity. In her early years, she was associated with the spread of the plague as a punishment, but this association faded with time.
Bastet or Bast is one of the most feminine and graceful goddesses of Ancient Egypt. She was the personification of moonlight and sunlight. The goddess symbolized the hearth and was revered as the protector of the home, family, and children, and also embodied such qualities as beauty, affection, and grace. Bastet is known throughout the world as the patron goddess of cats.
In other countries, there were patronesses of cats, but the Egyptian goddess Bastet is still the most famous and revered. Entire cities were built in her honor. Even in Alexandria, a temple dedicated to Bast was found. It was the goddess who became a symbol of caring for cats. Almost every Egyptian had a cat, which was looked after as the most expensive creature.
This goddess has a very dualistic nature, she can be belligerent, brave, but also gentle, caring, and soft. She is the personification of the feminine. After all, it was this goddess who was revered as the protector of all women, children, and cats. You could turn to her with any request, and her role is very great as the guardian of the hearth. That is why Bastet became so important as a multifaceted image for the whole of Ancient Egypt.
Bastet personifies greatness, feminine beauty, grace, kindness, joy, fun, and love. At the same time, she is a protector and can show great strength. It was the combination of these qualities that could put Bastet among the most majestic Egyptian Gods. This image is very attractive, especially for women.
