Description

In Egyptian Mythology, Sekhmet was originally the warrior goddess as well as the goddess of healing for Upper Egypt. She is depicted as a lioness, the fiercest hunter known to the Egyptians. She is also a Solar Deity, sometimes called the daughter of the sun god Ra and often associated with the goddesses Hathor and Bastet. Sekhmet was the patron of Physicians, and Healers and her priests became known as skilled doctors. As a result, the fearsome deity sometimes called the “lady of terror” was also known as “lady of life”.
