Our Goddess: Sekhmet

author: High Priest Zevios Metathronos

Sekhmet is a fierce leonine deity, the protector of Egypt. An ancient goddess, she was worshiped as part of the Memphite Triad of the ancient Egyptian capital city. She is the wife of Ptah. The symbolism of Sekhmet and another goddess, Bastet, is closely related. Her identity as a Goddess is deeply tied into occult symbolism that is incomprehensible outside of a Zevist context, because even in the most ancient Pyramid Texts, the powers of Sekhmet are the flames of the spine and the navel, flashes of earth-shaking scope and the power to shape reality on an unimaginable level; these are Hers. She is approximate to Wadjet, the cobra goddess of the Uraeus, in many ways.

Outside of this occult context, the lioness stood as a war goddess at the side of the Pharaoh. Numerous contexts show her wielding the aegis and the sekhem scepter The unconquerable Sekhmet is a singular deity, though She is known to have been created from the frightening rage of the great goddess Hathor descending down to humanity. As humanity must wield the powers of the serpent, we reinstate Her functions to the people.
