@Cat_LeFey I use a specific offering to the goddess every time I address her and it goes like this:

I have a small pitcher and I put some milk in it. I take my finger and dab some of the milk on my skin. Next I pour some red wine into a shot glass and set it on the right of her statue. The milk is on the left. I have a small metal plate and pour a small amount of clean sand onto it. This dish is between the other vessels. I then pour a few drops of the wine onto the sand. Now I can address the goddess.
After we've had our time together I dispose of the offering materials outside and clean my vessels.

This offering represents the transformation of #Sekhmet into #Hathor. Praise the Eyes of Ra! Have a great weekend!

It's the #DayOfAres / Mars' Day / #Tuesday! 🗡️

For #BlackHistoryMonth, I'm introducing African deities in my daily god toots. #Sekhmet is a warrior goddess of #ancientEgyptian religion. She is said to breathe fire and cause plagues. She acts as the vengeful manifestation of Ra's power, the Eye of #Ra. Once he sent her to destroy mortals but in her bloodlust she would have wiped out humanity had the other gods not dyed beer red as blood so Sekhmet lapped it all up and passed out drunk.

It is II Peret 13 - "Procession of Sekhmet and Her Executioners"

“Do not go out of your house today, on any road. It is the day of the proceeding of Sekhmet of Letopolis. Her great executioners pass by the offerings of Letopolis today.”

May Sekhmet remove all obstacles and destroy harmful influences. My She smite the enemies of Her people, may Her Arrows sharp and swift protect the innocent, the truth, and the way.

Dua Sekhmet! 🏹 ❤️ 🔥
Dua Netjer!

For some reason over in the beloved dumpster land known as this sketch I had done of Sekhmet had gained a lot of traction.
A Deity is something hard to conceptualize and I believe so unique to each person that experiences them.

“Mother of the sun. Fury. Fire. Rage. Yet healing warmth protector. Gold. Carnelian. Lapis. Turquoise. Hot, dry air. Sweet perfumes and dried blood.”
