EGYPTIAN
Goddess of Joy "BASTET" Stadium Blanket / Family Room Throw
BAST was the goddess par excellence of the eastern
part of the Delta in Bubastis, the capital of Lower Egypt. The form
in which the goddess was worshipped in the earliest times was that
of a cat. According to one legend, Bast was the personification of
the soul of Isis. If we are to seek the meaning of her name in Egyptian,
we must connect it with the word for fire bes and regard the
goddess as the female personification of the power of the Sun-god
as manifest through heat and light. From another aspect, Bast was
regarded as exercising a special power over women who were with child
as she appears on several occasions as one of the goddesses of the
birth-chamber. The chief festivals of the goddess Bast were celebrated
in the months of April and May.
