QUESTION: Who is Bast? Who is Sekhmet-Bast-Ra?
According to the Egyptian Book of the Dead, BAST is known as the All-Goddess. Sekhmet-Bast-Ra is a composite depiction of the Goddess encompassing the female head, lioness head, and vulture head, symbolizing all of the attributes of the goddesses as well as the attributes of the gods. This is a supposed recognition that all things in Creation are not absolutely female or male. All of Creation supposedly is a combination of male and female elements.
One important element of the goddess is the feline aspect. In nature, cats have an inimical relationship with serpents. In Ancient Egyptian mythology, the Serpent of Darkness is seen as the embodiment of ignorance and evil which threatens the movement of the Boat of Ra and which prevents the spiritual aspirant from attaining enlightenment. Therefore, the goddess in the form of a cat (Bast) or the lioness (Tefnut - Sekhmet) is seen as the warrior and champion of the gods (Asar and Heru) as well as the aspirant. She is supposedly the one who paves the way for spiritual evolution by destroying the evil of ignorance and sinfulness in the human heart.

And in all things that I have said unto you be circumspect: and make no mention of the name of other deities, neither let it be heard out of thy mouth.
