	Ancient Egypt: the Mythology - Bastet

	Bast (goddess) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Later scribes sometimes named her Bastet, a variation on Bast consisting of an additional feminine suffix to the one already present, thought to have been added to emphasise pronunciation.
		In connection with this, when Anubis became the god of embalming, Bast, as goddess of ointment, came to be regarded as his mother, although this association was broken in later years, when Anubis became Nephthys' son.
		In one episode of the television show Early Edition, a statue of Bastet brings vengeance on thieves who steal the statue's emerald eyes, and the mysterious cat who brings a newspaper from the future is linked with the feline deity.

	Bastet
		The Egyptian cat-headed goddess, Bastet was strictly a solar deity until the arrival of Greek influence on Egyptian society, when she became a lunar goddess due to the Greeks associating her with their Artemis.
		Bastet was the "Daughter of Ra", a designation that placed her in the same ranks as such goddesses as Maat and Tefnut.
		Because the Greeks equated Bastet with Diana and Artemis and Horus with Apollo, Bastet became adopted into the Osiris-Isis myth as their daughter (this association, however, was never made previous to the arrival of Hellenistic influence on Egypt).

	Characters: Bastet
		Homid Bastet are strongly encouraged to breed with great cats as well as humans at some point in their lives, to ensure that the thinning of the bloodlines experienced over the past few centuries does not occur again.
		A Bastet who is in breed form when reduced to Dying is subject to all of the dangers experienced by normal creatures.
		Bastet are not used to working in packs, but the Bete Order has revealed that they can be considered part of a pack if the spirits recognize them as such — if this happens, the Bastet will lose Gnosis if a pack member has been carrying silver for a day or longer.

	Bastet (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		Bastet (or Bast) was the Egyptian cat-headed goddess, probably originally associated with the lioness, who was a local deity having her cult in Bubastis where a necropolis house mummified cats.
		Although she remained a local deity, Bastet was soon associated with Re, said to be his daughter and wife, and with the Osirian deities.
		When a state deity in the Late Period, Bastet was looked upon as a kindly goddess representing the beneficent powers of the sun protecting the Two Lands, and sometimes was said to personify the moon; Sehkmet, on the other hand, represented the destructive powers of the sun and popular belief clearly distinguished her from Bastet.

	Bastet
		In early times Bast (written as 'Bastet' by scribes in later times to emphasize that the 't' was to be pronounced) was a goddess with the head of a lion or a desert sand-cat and was regarded as mother of Mahes, a lion-headed god.
		Bastet wore an aegis or shield in the form of a semi-circular plate, embellished with a lion's head.
		From her epithet 'lady of Asheru', the precinct of the goddess Mut at Karnak, it is clear that Bastet had a place on Theban soil where she could be equated with the consort of Amun- especially since the lioness and the cat were also claimed as sacred animals by Mut.
