Roles
Eye of Ra, warfare in Lower Egypt, patron of cats, protection, joy, dance, music, fertility, perfume, protector of pregnant women, and love. There is some theory that Bastet is indeed Sekhmet but in her more gentle and loving form because they both share the same characteristic even is pared with the same gods as consorts, and often they are both referred to as the the Eye or Ra. Cats were raised in her honor and used to mummify at Bubastis. When a cat dies in a house the house keepers eyebrows would be shaved off and the dead cat taken to the Nome of Bubastis for embalming to be buried in a scared burial chamber. The killing of cats out side sacrifice and mummification out side of Bubastis was strictly prohibited and punishable by death.
