FIGURA OBSCURA - BASTET (MIB)

Description: FourHorsemen Studios Figura Obscura / Mythic LegionsEgyption Goddess Bastet Information from SourceHorsemen: Once a fierce lioness warrior and a goddess of the sun, Bastet’s role changed during the course of ancient Egyptian history. Her sister, Sekhmet, is also a feline-headed deity, which can make it difficult to differentiate between the two in the iconography of these ancient times. Although early stories do little to distinguish these two daughters of the sun god Ra as individuals, later tales attribute many of the vicious and vengeful aspects of these deities to Sekhmet, while Bastet became the “Mother of Cats,” which is how she is commonly known today. In addition to her connection to the sun and to felines, Bastet is also a fertility goddess and the realms of pregnancy and childbirth are part of her domain. Bastet is often depicted as a protector who accompanies her father on his daily chariot ride as he pulls the sun through the sky. At night, Bastet transforms into a cat who protects Ra from the serpent Apep, a chaotic being who embodies darkness and disorder. Ancient stories tell of the battles between Ra and Apep. In one account, Ra is said to have taken on the form of a cat to defeat his evil enemy. Many other interpretations of this story say that it was actually Bastet whose claws and teeth kept the serpent at bay and protected the world from plunging into darkness and chaos.
