Sekhmet and Bast, the two sisters 🐆🐈

Bastet, the cat goddess of joy, love and beauty, was originally depicted as a lioness goddess, a role shared by other deities such as Sekhmet, the goddess of revenge, scorching sun and war. 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.

Thanks to my Boosty supporters for choosing Bast as this month fanart ❤️
