Images of Bastet were often created from alabaster. īastet was also a goddess of pregnancy and childbirth, possibly because of the fertility of the domestic cat. In addition to her solar connections, she was also related to Wadjet, one of the oldest Egyptian goddesses from the Southern Delta who was dubbed 'eye of the moon'. She has been depicted as fighting the evil snake named Apep, an enemy of Ra. Along with other deities such as Hathor, Sekhmet, and Isis, Bastet was associated with the Eye of Ra. Īs protector of Lower Egypt, she was seen as defender of the king, and consequently of the sun god, Ra. She then was depicted as the daughter of Ra and Isis, and the consort of Ptah, with whom she had a son, Maahes. Later she became the cat goddess that is familiar today. Role in ancient Egypt īastet was originally a fierce lioness warrior goddess of the sun, worshipped throughout most of ancient Egyptian history. Allen instead derives the name as a nisba construction from a place name 'Baset' ( bꜣst) with the meaning 'she of bꜣst'. This association would have come about much later than when the goddess was a protective lioness goddess, however, and is useful only in deciphering the origin of the term, alabaster.

The name of the material known as alabaster might, through Greek, come from the name of the goddess. This ties in with the observation that her name was written with the hieroglyph for ointment jar ( bꜣs) and that she was associated with protective ointments, among other things. One recent suggestion by Stephen Quirke ( Ancient Egyptian Religion) explains Bastet as meaning, 'She of the ointment jar'. Names of ancient Egyptian deities often were represented as references to associations or with euphemisms, being cult secrets. What the name of the goddess means remains uncertain. Wadjet-Bastet, with a lioness head, the solar disk, and the cobra that represents Wadjet By the first millennium, then, bꜣstt would have been something like *Ubaste (< *Ubastat) in Egyptian speech, later becoming Coptic Oubaste. In Middle Egyptian writing, the second t marks a feminine ending but usually was not pronounced, and the aleph ꜣ ( ) may have moved to a position before the accented syllable, ꜣbst. James Peter Allen vocalizes the original form of the name as buʔístit or buʔístiat, with ʔ representing a glottal stop. In early Egyptian hieroglyphs, her name appears to have been bꜣstt. Name īastet, the form of the name that is most commonly adopted by Egyptologists today because of its use in later dynasties, is a modern convention offering one possible reconstruction. Eventually Bastet and Sekhmet were characterized as two aspects of the same goddess, with Sekhmet representing the powerful warrior and protector aspect, and Bastet, who increasingly was depicted as a cat, representing a gentler aspect. In ancient Greek religion, she was known as Ailuros ( Koinē Greek: αἴλουρος, lit.'cat').īastet was worshipped in Bubastis in Lower Egypt, originally as a lioness goddess, a role shared by other deities such as Sekhmet. Her name also is rendered as B'sst, Baast, Ubaste, and Baset.
