The Egyptian Goddess of protection, pleasure, and the bringer of good health, Bastet was often also depicted as a woman with the head of a cat. As a great protectress, she looked after the sick, guarded households, and watched over cats.

Bastet’s energy is one of benevolence, safety and security, and kindness. The ankh symbolizes mortality and the afterlife simultaneously and is a powerful reminder to live in the moment.
