1. Bastet And Sekhmet Goddess

From Chapter 7 The Dark Night of the Soul into Magic Once I was completely embodied, my head in the clouds in the higher realms got connected to my body, and then my feet pushed me into the dung. The pull into connection with the cosmos forced me into my own feet. Like a root from a seed diving straight down into the soil, the journey into the dark night of the soul became a total compulsion. I needed to shine a searchlight into my deepest recesses, and what I could find would be my teacher. It is 1208 AD.

A record of past lives experienced through hypnotic regression • Unlocks the primordial memory bank of planetary consciousness • Explores the past lives of spiritual teacher Barbara Hand Clow at sacred sites during historical perio. Sekhmet is the Egyptian goddess of the sun, war, destruction, plagues and healing. She is one of the oldest deities and one of the most powerful. She is a member of the Memphite (cult center in Memphis) triad together with husband Ptah, the god of creation and wisdom and son Nefertum, the god of sunrise.

The madness spreads like the plague. The people run through the towns whipping themselves, and we hear about more and more burnings at the stake. The people go to watch the burnings, but I do not. I do not go because I feel fear in my heart. There is thickness in my throat from the fires and the stench of burning flesh.

I will not look. I will not look. While sitting in the office of my store in Marseilles, a crying woman comes in to ask me to help her just because I’m rich. She is too dirty to pass by my fabric, and I want her out, away! My valet shoves her and she hits her head. She throws my door open and screams as my men tear at her hair, at her dress. I stop them and say, “No, let her go!

Don’t grab her!” She screams a piercing scream and falls forward on my desk with her hands clutching the edge. She screams, “You can stop them, all you have to do is pay the Dominicans. If you don’t, they will burn her. She is my little girl, only twelve, and you have the money. You can pay the Church.

If you don’t pay, they will burn my girl.” I feel nothing. As if my heart is in the damp ashes and coals lying in the hearth next to where my mother died, frozen for days, I feel nothing. My men grab her shoulders, pull her away, and throw her out the door. She wants twenty florins, which I make in an hour. But there are too many of them. If I did it, I’d be flooded with filthy ragged women begging for their daughters.

Suddenly a ray of white light pierces my head, and I clutch my head as if I’m having an aneurysm. My muscles lose their tone as I fall against my desk. My consciousness as Hebrew prophet comes in, the time when I told the people how to live. In those days, I left behind my own wife and children as soon as the light of my mission took over my soul. Now I am here again as medieval merchant with another chance.

But I do nothing. Now, I’m an old man still living in my house, and now that I am old, I have feelings. Thinking about the different things that happened in my life, I go back to that time when she was being burned. On that fated day, I remained a while in my office worrying about my heart while I sorted brocades from Florence. I couldn’t shake it, so I went to the square where a large tree was cut down into a stake that was piled high with faggots ready to light. It all comes back, as if I am there again, the people screaming like animals with no souls.

I hear a scream above the crowd, a screaming small sound like a wounded bird. They are bringing in a little girl pulling on her shoulders, as rags come off exposing her flesh. This is the little girl-I see her mother being restrained. Five or six men are holding her and laughing. The little girl screams the most unearthly sound I have ever heard. They bring the ragged, mangy little girl through the crowd, and as she comes close to me, she turns and I see her face. I stare with horror into this unearthly beautiful little face, beautiful eyes, skin, white skin.

Her eyes are hot coals staring into the face of my own soul. I know I’m allowing my own soul to be burned by killing it with indifference, killing it with the fear of feeling the fire in my heart. Oh, God, I’ve seen this face before, and I am terror struck. I fish in my pocket desperately for twenty florins.

But I’ve brought no money in case the beggars would try to get it from me. I look up again at the face, and my soul realizes this is the face of my own daughter long ago in Thrace. But now I am a male merchant, and this I don’t understand. I run toward her and clutch for the men who carry her along. They see my good clothes and they seem ready to stop, but a Dominican shoves one of them hard.

He whispers in a raspy voice, “It is the devil, it is the devil,” and again they move her along. The crowd of crazed peasants sees my good clothes, and they become angry. One of them pulls a gem ring off my finger almost breaking my knuckle, and I am more afraid for myself than for the little girl. One of them grabs me by the throat and starts to strangle me.

I can feel my throat gurgling, and the pain is unbearable. Somebody stabs me in the heart! I think I feel somebody stab me in the heart, but it is the sound of that little bird stabbing me in my heart. I have my own dagger, I hear her cry again as the flames sear her flesh, and I stab myself in the heart.

I never want to have life again. I’m lying on the ground feeling heat and flames and somebody kicks me on the side of my head. That is all I remember.

. Needed articles. We should have an article on every pyramid and every nome in Ancient Egypt. I'm sure the rest of us can think of other articles we should have.

To start with, most of the general history articles badly need attention. And I'm told that at least some of the dynasty articles need work. Any other candidates?.

Standardize the Chronology. A boring task, but the benefit of doing it is that you can set the dates!(e.g., why say Khufu lived 2589-2566? As long as you keep the length of his reign correct, or cite a respected source, you can date it 2590-2567 or 2585-2563). Stub sorting Anyone? I consider this probably the most unimportant of tasks on Wikipedia, but if you believe it needs to be done. Data sorting.

This is a project I'd like to take on some day, & could be applied to more of Wikipedia than just Ancient Egypt. Take one of the standard authorities of history or culture - Herotodus, the Elder Pliny, the writings of Breasted or Kenneth Kitchen, & see if you can't smoothly merge quotations or information into relevant articles.

Probably a good exercise for someone who owns one of those impressive texts, yet can't get access to a research library. Fix/reclaim the.

Did Sekhmet Create The Nosferatu This myth has severaldsrctfgvb different versions, the one presented here comes from 'The Goddess Sekhmet, Psycho-Spiritual Exercises of the Fifth Way' by Robert Masters, published by LLewellyn Publishing copyright 1991. Or was it The Fixed Star Algol -from the constellation- Beta Perseus. I find this interesting becaue the constellation 'Beta Perseus' means The Champion or The Rescuer.

However, beta,derivative of Phoenecian letter Beth, means house. With that said Sekhmet became bloodthirsty and murderous due to human's conspiring a coup against the Ra who -in context with my aforemention- was providing them with a house(community) and he was king(champion and rescuer) to his people. So for his people to revolt against him must have created quite a stir amongst the royal ranks. But where it gets strange is that -in ancient arab- Algol, or Al-Ghul, means 'The Ghoul' or 'Demon Star', and Ri'B al Ohill, the 'Demon's Head'.Also in hebrew algol referred to as Rosh ha Sitan 'Satan's Head', or 'the Devil's Head'; also as Lilith, Adam's legendary first wife, believed to have been in existence before the creation of Eve. She is believed to be the nocturnal vampire from the lower world.

The Chinese gave it the gruesome title Tseih She, the 'Piled-up Corpses'. Astrologers say that it was the most unfortunate, violent, and dangerous star in the heavens. Thus Sekhmet must have been working upon liliths behalf. If you could not get the first redirect link you may have to restart the browser - 05:21, 21 October 2006 (UTC) I think and Sekhmet should stay as far away from eachother as possible.

Mixing myths is not something that should be in the article. Lilith stems from Mesopotamia as and later Jewish lore. Sekhmet is Egyptian. Obvious parrells can be drawn from Mesopotamia and Egypt to Judaism, but Lilith or something like her does not show up in Egyptian myth to my knowledge. Furthermore, opinions drawn from multiple sources violates wiki and imo this hasn't much to do with Sekhmet herself. 18:36, 25 May 2007 (UTC) There is no ancient Egyptian myth that ties Sekhmet to vampiric or 'ghoul' legends. That is New Age malarkey at best.

Bastet And Sekhmet Goddess

The myth, The Destruction of Mankind, is about Hathor being commissioned by Ra to destroy mankind when they no longer cared for him. She embarks upon a full-scale slaughter of men, which alarms Ra, who tells her to stop. She refuses, saying 'I have prevailed over men, and it has done my heart good. I shall continue to prevail over them.' It was at this point Hathor then mutates into Sekhmet, whose name means, 'She who prevails.' To stop her, the gods devise a scheme to tinge beer with red ochre so she will think it blood of slaughtered men and drink it (this some from the observation in the wild that lions and lionesses often have bloody maws when feeding). When she sees the red beer poured out 12 hands deep upon a field, she drinks it, becomes drunk and falls asleep, thus stopping the slaughter of mankind.

She later awakes, still drunk, as Hathor and returns to the halls of the gods, where she is welcomed in as 'sweet and gentle Hathor.' 18:00, 11 August 2014 (UTC) Hymn of Sekhmet? The part of the text that is atrributed as a Hymn of Sekhmet, is actually a quote from Normanday Ellis's 'Awakening Osiris', which is basically a non-literal, poetic translation of the Book of the Dead. I suspect this is not really one of Sekhmet's hymns. Does anyone else have any thoughts?.

I agree with you - this is not a Hymn to Sekhmet. It's a poetic interpretation from a section of the Egyptian Book of the Dead. At the top of the entry of the article it lists the source as 'For the Ronin Warriors character, see Sekhmet (Ronin Warriors)'. My response is Huh?! Also, I've never come across any reference of Nefertum as an aspect of Atum. Nefertum was the god of perfumes.

If I only had a single great source about Sekhmet I'd like to wipe the whole entry clean. The page needs sources. The claim for putting anthrax on the statues is interesting but I did a Google and the only relevant results are this entry, mirrors and recent articles that seem to draw their information from this page or others that don't provide a source (and may have been the source of this claim) I'm not claiming its cobblers but I was checking the facts from that first link I gave and was struggling to find any support for it and this entry comes with no further resources to follow up on which is pretty important. ( 15:55, 4 April 2006 (UTC)) eli + kylie No really, sources Since she does drink blood and has something to do with drunkenness, a specific reference for the title or Lady would certainly interest me. And technically I think we want more specific citations for everything.

20:43, 8 December 2007 (UTC) Actually, I don't think Scarlet Woman appears as a title in Revelation unless you count section headings. So that matters less than it might. But the point stands. 03:48, 9 December 2007 (UTC) -I'm concerned about the section that reads: 'Consequently, it was Sekhmet who was seen as the Avenger of Wrongs, and the Scarlet Lady,1 a reference to blood, as the one with bloodlust.' The PDF document with the citation in question doesn't strike me as being reputable since it is primarily concerned with the poetry of Sylvia Plath. Further more, the portion of the document that mentions these titles contains information that doesn't seem to be related to the subject at hand.

In other words, the cited information came from information regarding Sylvia Plath and not from a historical document or other reputable academic document pertaining to Sekhmet, Egyptian Mythology or even Egyptology. I would like to see this either removed or replaced by another reputable academic source. Also, I checked the PDF document again and found no mention of the term 'Avenger of Wrongs'. Where did this title come from? -HLG —Preceding comment added by 19:44, 27 January 2010 (UTC) Vandalism by 207.81.108.28 I undid the vandalism to this article, which was done by 207.81.108.28 this morning. 18:19, 2 February 2010 (UTC) Destroyed or ate? 'In a later myth developed around an annual drunken Sekhmet festival, Ra, by then the sun god of Upper Egypt, created her from a fiery eye gained from his mother, Hathor, to destroy mortals who conspired against him (Lower Egypt).

In the myth, Sekhmet's blood-lust was not quelled at the end of battle and led to her destroying almost all of humanity, so Ra had tricked her by turning the Nile as red as blood (the Nile turns red every year when filled with silt during inundation) so that Sekhmet would drink it. The trick was, however, that the red liquid was not blood, but beer mixed with pomegranate juice so that it resembled blood, making her so drunk that she gave up slaughter and became an aspect of the gentle Hathor.' -From the Article Here is the thing. I read somewhere else (and could email that author for her sources given a little time to do so) that Sekhmet was eating rather than killing them (on the outside of her immortal body, that is; I assume they would die in her stomach). Here are some related points. She was of superhuman height and related size dimensions, and was the most powerful of all the gods. In addition to her enemies (probably all of them), she ate countless others and even some of her friends.

Point 2 did not matter much since her enemies and her friends felt the same in her stomach. By the end of her initial reign of terror, she had eaten most of humanity. So, should we replace 'destroying' with 'eating' in this context? 19:00, 8 June 2010 (UTC) To say specifically that she was eating them, we would need a specific. But the point of the myth is that Sekhmet attacked humanity as an instrument of Ra's vengeance.

How she killed her victims isn't that important, so I don't see any pressing need to include it. 21:53, 8 June 2010 (UTC) Like I said, I could find such sources with time.

Are you saying it isn't worth sending those emails to find out where to search for them? 03:16, 9 June 2010 (UTC) Well, if you want to; I just don't see it as particularly important. I suppose the one thing it does is establish that she was already drinking blood, thereby making it clearer why she drank the beer made to look like blood. 05:46, 9 June 2010 (UTC) In any case, A. Parrot, I wrote a comment on the website that told me Sekhmet ate those people. Hopefully, the author of that site will email me some of her sources, and those will be the reliable sources for which we have been looking. 17:38, 13 June 2010 (UTC) WINE/BLOOD/BEER Pages i've seen elsewhere state she got drunk off of beer coloured with pomegranate juice - this page says wine, but is not sourced.

Should we at least mention the variations? I've also seen it stated that pomegranate dyed beer was drunk as part of festivities for sakhmet, so.? — Preceding comment added by 17:49, 4 February 2013 (UTC) The only version of this story that I have a detailed source for is in, where it says it was beer dyed with ochre. I'll write that, though I'll have to remove some unsourced stuff in the paragraph. 20:30, 4 February 2013 (UTC) I've done that. Here I'm copying the original version of the paragraph. While some of what I removed is probably modern conflation of myths, other parts are probably sourceable.

So I'm leaving them here so they can be worked on later. In a later myth developed around an annual drunken Sekhmet festival, Ra, the sun god, created her from a fiery eye gained from his mother, Hathor (daughter of Ra), to destroy mortals who conspired against him (Lower Egypt). In the myth, Sekhmet's blood-lust was not quelled at the end of battle and led to her destroying almost all of humanity, so Ra had tricked her by turning the Nile as red as blood (the Nile turns red every year when filled with silt during inundation) so that Sekhmet would drink it. The trick was, however, that the red liquid was not blood, but wine so that it resembled blood, making her so drunk that she gave up slaughter and became an aspect of the gentle Hathor to some moderns. It is said that when Sekhment awoke from her drunken sleep, the first thing she laid eyes on was the creator god, Ptah and fell in love with him, and the result was Mahees sic and Nefertem. 20:42, 4 February 2013 (UTC) Assessment comment The comment(s) below were originally left at, and are posted here for posterity.
