Hello everyone here. Let's see, where to begin?
Well, like a lot of people here, I've been interested in Egypt for a long time, though I never got much into it until now. I've been a pagan for a good three years now, but not really practicing anything. Recently I started studying the gods, and since I'm half African American, that took me straight back to Africa, where Egypt can be found. While studying the pantheon, Bast's name caught my eye, and ever since, I can't seem to stop thinking about her.
I feel like she's been around for the past few days, and I think I may have been visited by her last night. I was lying in bed thinking, and her presence felt stronger than before, to the point where I felt heavy. Now, I've never spoken with a god, so I was nervous. After a bit, my body started to feel warm, and it felt like she was trying to make her way into my head (I don't know if that makes any sense...)
She started trying to talk to me, but a part of my brain was trying to block her out (probably the skeptic in me). Eventually she had to shout to get through me, which scared the ever living shit out of me. What she said to me, I can't totally remember. She mentioned Ma'at, told me that she was Bast, and some other things. During this time, I got the feeling that Sekmet and Yinepu were trying to join the party. Why they left, I'm not sure, but they did. Then she told me she had things to attend to, but she wasn't really leaving.
Now the skeptic in me is trying to convince me this was all in my head, and I do wonder, but I plan to investigate more into this.
I hope I wasn't too wordy. I just wanted to give a basis as to why I decided to join this community.
Well, that's about all for now.
