Now let’s look quickly at Bastet: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bastet

“Bastet or Bast (Ancient Egyptian: bꜣstjt, Coptic /ʔuːˈβastə/) was a goddess of ancient Egyptian religion, worshiped as early as the Second Dynasty (2890 BCE). Her name also is rendered as B'sst, Baast, Ubaste, and Baset. In ancient Greek religion, she was known as Ailuros (Koinē Greek: αἴλουρος "cat").

Bastet was worshiped in Bubastis in Lower Egypt, originally as a lioness goddess, a role shared by other deities such as Sekhmet. Eventually Bastet and Sekhmet were characterized as two aspects of the same goddess, with Sekhmet representing the powerful warrior and protector aspect and Bastet, who increasingly was depicted as a cat, representing a gentler aspect.”

>> So Bastet appeared as early as the Second Dynasty and her original form is that of a lion but she mutated and changed into a cat to point her gentler side.

“Name

Bastet, the form of the name that is most commonly adopted by Egyptologists today because of its use in later dynasties, is a modern convention offering one possible reconstruction. In early Egyptian hieroglyphs, her name appears to have been bꜣstt. James Peter Allen vocalizes the original form of the name as buʔístit or buʔístiat, with ʔ representing a glottal stop. In Middle Egyptian writing, the second t marks a feminine ending but usually was not pronounced, and the aleph ꜣ ( ) may have moved to a position before the accented syllable, ꜣbst. By the first millennium, then, bꜣstt would have been something like Ubaste (< Ubastat) in Egyptian speech, later becoming Coptic Oubaste.

What the name of the goddess means remains uncertain. […]

Role in ancient Egypt

Bastet was originally a fierce lioness warrior goddess of the sun worshiped throughout most of ancient Egyptian history, but later she became Bastet, the cat goddess that is familiar today. She then was depicted as the daughter of Ra and Isis, and the consort of Ptah, with whom she had a son Maahes.

As protector of Lower Egypt, she was seen as defender of the king, and consequently of the sun god, Ra. Along with other deities such as Hathor, Sekhmet, and Isis, Bastet was associated with the Eye of Ra. She has been depicted as fighting the evil snake named Apep, an enemy of Ra. In addition to her solar connections, sometimes she was called "eye of the moon".”

>> So, she is a daughter of the Sun, a warrior that used the electrical weapon and she fought against the Horned Serpents. Why is she called the Eye of the Moon though? Remember how Horus Left Eye = the Moon, was plucked out by Seth? Is there a connection here? Why is the Moon cited in both cases as an EYE?

“Bastet was also a goddess of pregnancy and childbirth, possibly because of the fertility of the domestic cat.”

>> Incorrect assumption. There is a pattern here anons: Bes, Sekhmet and Bastet all are Feline warriors and all were protectors of children, pregnancy, childbirth and fertility. And of course we can add Hathor to the bunch despite her being a Lamassu warrior. I think this is pointing us in a very specific direction that these Feline warriors were against the pedovores and they protected the children from them.

“Images of Bastet were often created from alabaster. The goddess was sometimes depicted holding a ceremonial sistrum in one hand and an aegis in the other—the aegis usually resembling a collar or gorget, embellished with a lioness head.

Bastet was also depicted as the goddess of protection against contagious diseases and evil spirits.”

>> Here we have loads of reoccurring elements we’ve seen mostly with other Feline warriors or other warriors protecting mankind. The Aegis seems to be the common point to ALL types of warriors, from the Lamassu, to ThunderBirds and now the Feline ones. If you look closely to all the goddesses from Ancient Egypt so far you will notice that they all wear a tight body dress. I think this is the Aegis. Anons can look for the pictures of the artifacts I’ve already posted in Sekhmet and Bes, also Hathor for the sistrum.

“History

Bastet first appears in the third millennium BC, where she is depicted as either a fierce lioness or a woman with the head of a lioness.Two thousand years later, during the Third Intermediate Period of Egypt (c. 1070–712 BC), Bastet began to be depicted as a domestic cat or a cat-headed woman.

Scribes of the New Kingdom and later eras began referring to her with an additional feminine suffix, as Bastet. The name change is thought to have been added to emphasize pronunciation of the ending t sound, often left silent.”

>> That’s one heck of a jump = 2000 years apart.

“Cats in ancient Egypt were highly revered, partly due to their ability to combat vermin such as mice, rats (which threatened key food supplies), and snakes—especially cobras. Cats of royalty were, in some instances, known to be dressed in golden jewelry and were allowed to eat from the plates of their owners. Dennis C. Turner and Patrick Bateson estimate that during the Twenty-second Dynasty (c. 945–715 BC), Bastet worship changed from being a lioness deity into being predominantly a major cat deity. Because domestic cats tend to be tender and protective of their offspring, Bastet was also regarded as a good mother and sometimes was depicted with numerous kittens.”

“The native Egyptian rulers were replaced by Greeks during an occupation of Ancient Egypt in the Ptolemaic Dynasty that lasted almost 300 years. The Greeks sometimes equated Bastet with one of their goddesses, Artemis.”

>> Leave it to the Greeks to mess things up. I think they linked Bastet to Artemis because of the Moon.

“Bubastis

Bastet was a local deity whose religious sect was centered in the city that became named, Bubastis. It lay in the Nile Delta near what is known today as Zagazig. The town, known in Egyptian as pr-bꜣstt (also transliterated as Per-Bastet), carries her name, literally meaning House of Bastet. It was known in Greek as Boubastis (Βούβαστις) and translated into Hebrew as Pî-beset, spelled without the initial t sound of the last syllable. In the biblical Book of Ezekiel 30:17, the town appears in the Hebrew form Pibeseth.”

>> One misspelling and poof, we have a new name for the town. And it had to be the Book of Ezekiel (face palm).

“At the Bubastis temple, some cats were found to have been mummified and buried, many next to their owners. More than 300,000 mummified cats were discovered when Bastet's temple was excavated. Turner and Bateson suggest that the status of the cat was roughly equivalent to that of the cow in modern India. The death of a cat might leave a family in great mourning and those who could, would have them embalmed or buried in cat cemeteries—pointing to the great prevalence of the cult of Bastet. Extensive burials of cat remains were found not only at Bubastis, but also at Beni Hasan and Saqqara. In 1888, a farmer uncovered a burial site of many hundreds of thousands of cats in Beni Hasan.

Festival

Herodotus also relates that of the many solemn festivals held in Egypt, the most important and most popular one was that celebrated in Bubastis in honor of this goddess. Each year on the day of her festival, the town was said to have attracted some 700,000 visitors, both men and women (but not children), who arrived in numerous crowded ships. The women engaged in music, song, and dance on their way to the place. Great sacrifices were made and prodigious amounts of wine were drunk—more than was the case throughout the year. This accords well with Egyptian sources that prescribe that lioness goddesses are to be appeased with the "feasts of drunkenness".A festival of Bastet was known to be celebrated during the New Kingdom at Bubastis. The block statue from the eighteenth dynasty (c. 1380 BC) of Nefer-ka, the wab-priest of Sekhmet, provides written evidence for this. The inscription suggests that the king, Amenhotep III, was present at the event and had great offerings made to the deity.”

>> Well anons, the information we got from Bastet only confirms what we already know about the Feline warriors.
