| Bast - Invoking the Goddess Oracle and Action |
Bast is the Egyptian cat headed Goddess of pleasure, the home and fertility. Domestic cats in Egypt were seen as manifestations of Bast. Cats protect the home from vermin/disease and are very fertile. Bast is a derivative of ba'Aset which means the soul of Isis. Bast was worshiped in orgiastic ceremonies where dancing to the sistrum, a type of a rattle, occurred amongst much drinking and revelry. Bast is a playful, joyous Goddess. The staff she carries has the head of a lotus flower which symbolized the sun, creation and rebirth.
In my deck "Invoking the Goddess Oracle and Action" Bast says:
Shake those rattles, dance and drink
Raise your skirts
Celebrate
I am the cat-headed Goddess Bast
Lighthearted and free
I bring friendship and play
Give comfort and support
Domestic Goddess
I protect your home
Children and women's mysteries
The action is:
Celebrate
Make a celebration in gratitude
For the gifts in your life
Honor the Goddess in revelry
