saffronhare: (Mermaid of Severity)

I'm still half in love with Aset and Sekhmet from that summer. It's almost time to bring her out for my summertime altar. Of course, they don't measure correctly for my flavor of sensuality on these quizzes, which is why I always test as "vanilla" or some such nonsense. Good times, good times.

Mythological Goddess Test. Oh, how I wish they had one for men.

Sekhmet
Indeed, you are 79% erudite, 62% sensual, 66% martial, and 58% saturnine.
Sekhmet,
whose name literally translated means “The Mighty One” or “The Powerful
One”, was the Goddess of divine retribution, justice, vengeance, and
war. She was also called such impressive titles as “Powerful of Heart”,
“The Scarlet Lady”, “Avenger of Wrongs”, “Lady of Flame”, “The One
Before Whom Evil Trembles”, “Eye of Ra”, and “Lady of Slaughter”.


Sekhmet was believed to protect the pharaoh in battle and destroy his
enemies with arrows of fire. Hot desert winds were believed to be this
Goddess’ breath, and her body was said to take on the bright glare of
the midday sun.

The priests of Sekhmet were specialists in the field of
medicine, arts linked to ritual and magic. They were also trained
surgeons of remarkable calibre. Tame lions were kept in temples
dedicated to Sekhmet. An ancient Greek historian called Aelian said: “In Egypt,
they worship lions, and there is a city called after them. The lions
have temples and numerous spaces in which to roam, and they eat to the
accompaniment of song.”


Sekhmet was also the sister of Bast. Together the twin
sisters formed the "Yin Yang" of Egyptian religion, Sekhmet, depicted
as a young woman with the head of a lioness, being the destructive
force, and Bast, shown with the head of domestic cat, being the
positive force. For those of you who love wine; the blood-red wine of
Upper Egypt was called the Wine of Sekhmet, while the white wine of
Lower Egypt was the Wine of Bast.
