Deity Diaries: Bastet

(Fun little side project i’ve decided to do for this blog. These will simply be pages with my UPG and other things related to deities I work with.)

Name/Nicknames found acceptable: Bast, Bastet, Cat Mom, (She jokingly suggested Dancing Queen to be added here)

Favorite Offerings: Me dancing with my dog while laughing uncontrollably in her honor, helping TNR programs near me, donating to shelters either via money, resources, or my own time, devoting taking my antidepressants to her, Incense burnt at her altar, clean water left out for her, any meal i’ve made for myself especially if it took a good deal of time and effort or is especially made in her honor, milk particularly that from my cereal which is sweeter, jewelry with copper, silver, and turquoise coloration, a large fish shaped piggy bank which i fill with all the pennies I find while walking and save for her, shiny dangly things to hang up on her altar, soft naturally scented perfumes and smell good items like candles and air freshener. 

What she helps me with: Self-acceptance, healthy coping, positive thinking, making and keeping healthy relationships, accepting my more feminine aligned traits and habits, self-care, confidence, finding my relationship to the earth/nature, finding more joy and happiness in my life, understanding when it’s okay to do things for myself and when it’s more important to do things for others

Deities I have found she works well with: Anubis, Sekhmet, Loki, Artemis, Apollo, Hera, Persephone, Hel, Frigg, Freya, Aphrodite, and Sigyn

Deities I have she has conflicts with: None so far, though mostly I have found she is mostly indifferent to others

Signs/Symbols she has sent: Cats randomly showing up and meowing under my window for nights until i do the thing she wants, Random perfume/incense scents reminding me what she prefers or that she wants me to make an offering for her, things she likes/wants for her altar falling off my shelves, articles she wants me to read randomly popping up along with her image or images of cats nearby multiple times, the sound of purring when there are no cats around, seeing the shadow of a cat or feline shape out of the corner of your eye when there are no cats around

Other things I want to mention about her:  She has taken a very motherly role for me and was the first deity to reach back out to me when I tried to contact them. She has been very understanding and kind and taught me a lot about my relationship with the divine and how to communicate and what to look for when working with other deities. She has been the most vocal and easy to communicate with out of all the deities I work with and I can not say enough how grateful I am to her and how much I love her. She is a very positive and bright energy in my life and I am honored to have her be a part of who I am now. Dua Bastet!
