🏺 Sekhmet in Egyptian Culture
Sekhmet is the blazing eye of Ra, sent to Earth to restore sacred order by force. Her rage was so great it nearly wiped out humanity. To calm her, the gods gave her a red drink (resembling blood) that put her to sleep.
She awoke transformed — becoming a healer and protector.
She thus embodies destructive fire turned healing fire. People prayed to her to cure illness… but also to be spared from her wrath.
