Welcome to The House of Bast!
Kayla, the Pratchett quote in your signature is the purrfect introduction to my display!

Welcome to The House of Bast!

The theme this year is "Wild Winter!" All the sand made me think of Egypt, so I decided to depict some of my wildest cats - toygers and tigers - celebrating in honor of Bast!

Bast was a goddess of protection and blessings, and the goddess of cats in ancient Egypt. She was a protectress of women and children, and was sometimes depicted with a litter of kittens at her feet. She was also the goddess of music, dance, and pleasure, and her festivals were filled with music, dancing and wine. Worshippers played instruments - including drums, tambourines and sistrums - and went singing and dancing through the streets, as well as celebrating at her temple. (You might want to on turn on - or off - your sounds near my display.)

Sekhmet is also included in my display because sometimes the two are seen as aspects of the same Goddess - and besides, this is really a celebration of ALL Cats!

Thou art the Great Cat, the avenger of the Gods, and the judge of words,
and the president of the sovereign chiefs and the governor of the holy Circle;
thou art indeed…the Great Cat.


~ Inscription on the Royal Tombs at Thebes

I have to admit that every time I think of the theme I also keep hearing "One Wild Night" by Bon Jovi in my head:

It's a hot night, the natives are restless
We're sweating by the light of the moon
There's a voodoo mojo brewing at the go-go
That could knock a witch off her broom

We slither on in and shed our skin
Make our way into the bump and the grind
So I'm passing by, she gives me the eye
So I stop to give her a light

One wild night (blinded by the moonlight)
One wild night (24 hours of midnight)
One wild night (I stepped into the twilight zone
And she left my heart with vertigo)
One wild, one wild, one wild,
One Wild Night!

Come join the party!
&
May all your Holidays/Holly Days/Holy Days, be Happy!
