Inspired by the cycles of nature, the EGYPTIANS saw time in the present as a series of recurring patterns, whereas the earliest periods of time were l i n e a r . Present events repeat the events of myth, and in doing so renew M A A T , the fundamental order of the universe. Amongst the most important episodes from the mythic past are the creation myths, in which the gods form the universe out of primordial c h a o s; the stories of the reign of the sun god Ra upon the earth; and the Osiris myth, concerning the struggles of the gods Osiris, Isis, and Horus against the disruptive god Set.

Queen goddess of Egypt.

for @melqomene and @arthemis mythological event  — 3rd day: favourite egyptian deity/group/creature » Bastet

“Bastet is the goddess of love, beauty, fertility, cats, dance, music and war. She is the daughter of Ra and Isis. Like all gods, Bastet can change her appearance; for war, she takes the form of a lioness, for her gentle side she takes the form of a domestic cat and finally another form that the goddess takes is a human to interact with humans better. She has many feline forms from domestic cat, to lioness, tigers, lynxs, leopards, jaguars, cheetah and panthers.”
