Bast

Bast worship

Bast is the ancient Egyptian goddess of enlightenment. She is also the goddess of the dawn, the goddess of cats, and the goddess of physical pleasures. In modern terms she might be considered the goddess of sex, drugs, and rock ’n’ roll. She is also the goddess of art and philosophy.

The ancient Egyptian religion evolved and changed a great deal over its 10,000 year history. There are written records from much of that history (including the oldest religious writings in the world), as well as numerous works of art.

The ancient Egyptian religion evolved from Goddess Worship, an elemental nature religion that is more than 100,000 years old. Variations of Goddess Worship are still alive today, especially in various Wiccan faiths.

Almost all of modern religions are derived from the ancient Egyptian religion.

Bast worship is positive and life affirming.

Bast is a nature goddess.

Bast is known as the great critic of the Great Council and the Pharaohs.

In the Bast tradition, it is believed that artwork is divinely inspired by the goddess and that the artists are more dependable in revealing the will of the supreme goddess than mere priests.

candy

Candy was invented by ancient Egyptian priests and priestesses (probably of Bast, Sekhmet, and/or Ptah). The first versions were hard candies made from honey. The Temple magicians were asked by the Pharoah to come up with a cure for sore throats. The hard candies immediately became popular as a sweet and Temple magicians started adding a variety of spices, including spearmint, peppermint, and other mints.
