Guardian of homes, women, and children, she watches over sacred spaces — both within and without — as an invisible protector.

🏺 Bastet in Egyptian Culture
Worshipped in Bubastis, Bastet was associated with music, dance, and joy — but also with magical protection against harmful forces. People offered cat statuettes to her for household protection.
She was often linked or confused with Sekhmet, her energetic sister — more warrior-like. Where Sekhmet roars, Bastet purrs firmly.
