I know that Halloween is a time for everyone to dress up as big bad oogie boogies but this year I thought I would do something a little different. Egypt has always been a favored study of mine, right down to traveling to Egypt once and dancing for the Prince. My experiences there have always been utterly amazing, so this year for Halloween I thought I would do a small tribute to the Bast Goddess.
Bast (Bastet, Pasch, Ubasti, Ba en Aset) – Daughter of the sun god Ra, wife of Ptah, and mother of Mihos, Bast is an ancient Egyptian goddess who is still greatly revered by many today. Her worship began around the year 3200 BCE during the second dynasty in northern Egypt and her city is Bubastis. There, and in many other ancient cities, Egyptians celebrated Bast’s feast day, October 31st, with great joy and enthusiasm honouring their goddess, their protectress. Related to Neith, the Night Goddess, Bast symbolized the moon in its function of making a woman fruitful, with swelling womb. She was also the Egyptian Goddess of pleasure, music, dancing and joy, and associated with the Eye of Ra, acting as the instrument of the Sun God’s vengeance.
Illusions has three (3) of the most amazing Egyptian Masks located within their store. Horus, Bast, and Anubis. Plus, you will be able to find the shown jewelry you see here along with some outfits to help you complete your look. I personally chose a silk number from Wishbox and changed the colors of the chains and stones myself. With a little imagination, anything is possible!
