BAST The first god I am going to talk about is Bast, also known as Bastet. Bast is the Egptian goddess of cats. Bast's name actually means "Devouring Lady". She is a scared cat goddess because Egyptian cat's are scared. Cats in Egypt were sacred and often dressed in golden jewlery, and were actually allowed to eat off their owners plates. Bast is the eighteenth nome. Her mother was Nefertum she was the goddess of perfumes. Bast's appearance is of a women with the head of a cat. she was a very protective goddess who sometimes would appear with the head of a lion to protect the king while in battle. Bast was the god of many things, she was the goddess of sunrise, music, dance and even all the pleasure as well as family, fertility, and birth. Bast- even though you were a scared cat goddess, you were so brave and strong. Ancient Egyptians appreciate that. We thank you together. Hapi ====Hapi means "The Running" because of the river. Hapi is important because he is the god that brought floods every year, this is one of the many reasons why they worshiped Hapi. He represents fertile lands. The flooding would provide fertile soil in places that were dry or deserted areas. Hapi is the god of "Inundation" which means that he is the god of a yearly flooding of the Nile River. People often called the yearly flooding of the Nile "The Arival Of Hapi." Even though he is a male he is pictured with breasts and a large belly, a false beard and is shown with water plants, as representations of the fertile Nile, and he also wore a loincloth, since he had long hair. This god was usually given either blue ‍‍‍‍‍or ‍‍‍‍‍ green skin resembling water. Hapi was associated with Nun. He is also associated with Osiris they have a connection through the Nile River. In upper Egypt he was the husband of Nekhebet and he also married his own sister. Some people even started to think that Isis was his wife when she was not. He was located at a Cataract called Elephantine. Thank you Hapi for yearly flooding that provided yearly flooding for the ancient Egyptians. What would they have done without you? The world may never know... ====
