This was already mentioned in other threads, but here goes as reference once more: lady Bastet was a renowned Asetian Princess and fierce warrior who had a very important role in the Asetian history and past in Kemet, becoming one of the most highly esteemed Asetians and members of the Aset Ka throughout time to this day.

Bastet (Cat) A female Aspect of the Sun God, usually Ra, sometimes Amon, either of whom She is ascribed as being the daughter of in various texts. She personifies the retributive element of the Sun, and is seen as the bringer of divine vengeance to Amon-Ra's enemies. In early times She was portrayed as having the head of a lioness, but later images show the smaller ancestor of today's housecat. She was Patroness of domestic cats, and in that role continues today to enjoy a certain vogue among New-Age believers. See also, Mafdet.

Mafdet (Cat) Goddess of judicial authority and divine patroness of executions. She is normally shown bearing, or leaping up onto a gallows, and She is also spoken of as a functionary within the Hall of Two Truths. See also Bastet

It is a something I didn't know. I had a research about Bastet, long ago, as I have a deep connection with her. When I decided to have a tattoo I felt really glad.

But knowing now, what you mentioned, makes me feel even happier. It makes even much more sense for me now.

Thank you!
