Art of Bastet by Anjel

In this special edition of Deity Deep Dives we are releasing on the main RSS feed , Anjel talks about their first foray into polytheism with the original sexy cat girl, Bastet. In this episode, Anjel traces the history of the domestication of cats through the iconography of Sekhmet and Bastet and relays some of the stories of this Ancient Egyptian Goddess. Music is by our producer, Daniel.
