Pattern: Bast

Bast is the cat-headed Egyptian goddess of sensuality, pleasure, healing, and transformation. Her symbols are the unguent (perfumed ointment) jar and the scarab, and her color is green. She was originally considered the "Sekhmet of the Delta" and is one of the two eyes of Ra. The other eye, Sekhmet, is the lioness-headed goddess of unrestrained destruction and healing, and as she became more popular in the united lands of Upper and Lower Egypt, Bast was happy to assume a more gentle role.
