Miscellaneous Myths: Sekhmet/The Eye of Ra

Sure, you've probably gotten angry before. But have you ever gotten gouge-out-your-own-eye-and-turn-it-into-a-monstrous-goddess-of-vengeance angry? Odds are low, I think.

The moral of the story is: respect the elderly if possible, or failing that, simply remove the concept of age.

Ra feels like the grandpa who tells crazy stories nobody believes, but then all the sudden he's in a tank saying "I told you I knew how to drive"

Odin: So I sacrificed my eye to obtain the wisdom of the Yggdrasil. How did you lose yours?
Ra: Ok so here's the thing

[purplehaze]

Odin: Sacrificed his eye for borderline omniscience
Ra: “So I spawned a lion-headed war goddess.”

Ra: "Sekhmet, kiddo, ya gotta calm down! You're killing everyone!"
Sekhmet: "Ok boomer"

'Dad put the sun down' 'No it's mine!!' 'Dad your messing it up-!!' 'KIIING-!!' I died xDD

Ra: * abandons his duty *
People: * stop worshipping him *
Ra: *You weren't supposed to do that.*

This is why Sekhmet is among my favorite Egyptian deities.
"Kill everybody."
*kills almost everybody*
"Wait, stop, I changed my mind!"
*continues killing*
"Booze her up! She can't kill everybody if she can't see straight!"
And a hangover saves the day.

Oh I'm sorry I didn't know that my illustrious father was a *GIANT BABY!*

You could make an entire side series on how booze effects mythology

"Ra himself has his own continuing adventure after dropping his moral form"


The Immoral Adventures of Ra doesn't sound safe for work.

[Rhino-n-Chips]

I would love a comic strip of old man Ra being senile as fuck, embarrassing the gods and confusing mortals.

[celiachan]

Ra: “So are you going to kill the rest of humanity?”
Sekhmet: “Eh, not right now.”
This definitely made my night.

"Dad, put the sun down!"
"No it's mine!"
"Dad, you're messing it all up!"

Wowza, looks like Ra's a god of prophecy too, how about that

[Just_A_Dude]

I tend to call Sekhmet's situation a case of "Maximum Overgoddess."

She's got so much divine power that, after they bled off the excess, they had enough spare mojo in the drain bucket to make a whole second goddess out of it.

[MWproification]

Is it weird that this “Terrifying” Lion goddess is actually pretty cute in my eyes? I mean she looks so adorable!

[NDeep]

Ra: Hey, Sekhmet. You mind toning down the killing?

Sekhmet: No.

Ra: Well I tried.

[Medved]

Especially fitting considering Sekhmet is a lion while Bast is a cat, almost like it's explaining domestication or something.

"Man Eater" was such a purrfect choise for this video.
