Merry Meet!
Welcome to Mercian Forest, a place where you will find everything to meet your Pagan needs.
Welcome to our listing for an Bast/Baster goddess altar decoration.
Bast/Bastet measures around 6 cm in height, She has Black skin (the colour most associated to her). A ceremonial Sistrum with a Aegis shield sits across her right thigh and there is a Sun disk at the top of her head. Gold is added to her to accentuate her breasts and outline the Lapis Lazuli in her tummy. Gold braids run through her hair.
Bastet is known as the Goddess of Fertility, Pregnancy and Childbirth, but her Origins tell of her being a fierce warrior of the sun. Sometimes shown with a lion's face, other times with a Cats face. I have shown Bast in her most recognised form.
Lapis Lazuli is said to be a powerful stone for the higher self, it enhances intellect, helps you to connect to a deeper intuition and psychic abilities and helps to recall and transcend through past lives.
Its magical correspondences are very similar for its healing and enabling psychic abilities. However Lapis Lazuli is also very good for any acts of divination such as scrying or tarot and is said to be able to enhance readings, for this and more it is said to be a stone every magician should own and utilize.
As this piece is handmade, it is important to point out that each piece can vary slightly, but we believe this adds to the magic and makes each and everyone that little bit more special!
We are based in Wiltshire in the UK, near to our Spiritual home of Avebury, the White Horse and a short distance from Stone Henge. All the items you see on our pages are handmade by us.
Thank you for looking and Blessed Be )O(
