Handsome Egyptian Bast Statue In ancient Egypt the cat
was worshipped as a sacred animal - the mother or creator.
Bast originally was the creator goddess of Lower Egypt,
and was depicted as a woman with a lion's head. She
has been dated to at least the Second Dynasty (c. 2890-2686
Before Common Era [B.C.E.]). Bast is the Egyptian Goddess
and protector of cats, women and children. Her goddess
duties changed over the years, so she is also known
as a goddess of love, fertility, birth, music and dance.
Bast was originally a goddess of the sunrise, but later
this was changed by the Greeks to a goddess of the moon.
In Greek mythology, Bast is also known as Aelurus. Great
