Praise Sekhmet, Beloved of Sobek(-Ra),
Sobeket, chief of the female crocodiles,
Lady of the Flood.

Khnum who loves Sekhmet, creator of creators, foremost in the Nun. He whose love of his own creation is without limits. Sekhmet who acts at the will of Ma'at, holding creation upon the razor's edge of balance.

Sekhmet, the Dawn Eye, breaks open the heavens to allow Ra to rise.

🪷 March 12th is the Feast of the intoxication of lioness deity #Sekhmet. Told by Ra to punish impious humans, she went on a blood-thirst killing spree, until Ra made a lake of beer dyed red, and she passed out. So Egyptian beer saved us all. Have a beer (or 2) tonight to celebrate: https://antinousstars.blogspot.com/2023/03/we-celebrate-feast-of-intoxication-of.html 🪷

Sekhmet the Star Lion.
I love all the flower ornaments.

#Oracle cards for the week ahead:

Tepy-a Semed (Predecessor of the Horn) "Tree of Life and Wisdom" -- The #Egyptian Star Oracle deck by Travis McHenry

#Sekhmet - Sekhmet's Servant deck by Megan Zane

I get a lot out of these two cards for the upcoming week actually, but it's quite complex. The read will take a day or so to sink in completely, but I think I know what I'm dealing with here.

Feeling inspired as the world around me turns from icy to somewhat warm. The sunshine, spring rains, and buds on the trees are lovey. Sekhmet embraces Sobek-Ra as the spring comes in.

I now know to put a couple of sheets of blotting paper behind the page I'm working on. Also, my cat will sit on my notebook and tablet, interrupting my flow. Also: bird signs make me crazy.

More #Christmas #Midjourney #Kemetic #Gods prompts this evening.

Here we have #Sekhmet, I really like this one as She seems to be saying "Look, this is as Christmassy as I get, now shove off" :blobcatdance:

#AIart

A couple old watercolors of Sekhmet. One very active and one more passive. She has many sides, not all of them aggressive.

From Summer Solstice.
A pic I took around summer solstice for the Flower Festival. The festival is a modern creation in honor of the deities of the fields, flowers, foods, etc. It is a celebration of thriving, growth, and the world around us.
Need to shift to winter solstice look. So this is my shrine for Sekhmet solely. Happily decked out in her flower accents.

Sometimes a sketch is just finished. ✨
I’ve drawn #sekhmet countless times. ✨☀️🦁 this is one of my first sketches of her. She can be savage and loving. Here she is licking the blood off her human like hands. 🩸☀️

For some reason over in the beloved dumpster land known as #tumblr this sketch I had done of Sekhmet had gained a lot of traction.
A Deity is something hard to conceptualize and I believe so unique to each person that experiences them.

“Mother of the sun. Fury. Fire. Rage. Yet healing warmth protector. Gold. Carnelian. Lapis. Turquoise. Hot, dry air. Sweet perfumes and dried blood.”

Sekhmet the Star Lion
#Sekhmet is the #kemetic deity of healing, war, and plague. Her name means 'powerful female.' She is best known for being sent out by Ra to punish humans, killing them and in her bloodlust lapping up their blood. It was only through a trick that she returned from the bloodlust state to Hethert (Hathor).
But there is more to Sekhmet than this. She is connected to all aspect of life. Sekhmet can be a primordial goddess who was there at the beginning. She has connections with the stars, the fields, plants, growth, food, and more. She has command over demons and is famously known as the goddess of the knife, arrow, and plague demons (spirits) who serve her.
Sekhmet is a multifaceted deity. Her influence is powerful and can be subtle. There are many types of manifestations Sekhmet can take and each very different.
