BASTET DIRECT BINDING
Many will work with a deity that they feel connected to, but how do you connect with Bastet?
After this BINDING which provides "The binding To Bastet," Bastet will connect with your spirtually on a much deeper and more profound level. The most obvious sign that she’s fully connecting with you is the presence of cats, literally or figuratively. For instance, you might find that you are followed by cats ( even hyour own), or that you see cats wherever you go.
There could be less obvious signs, too. You might just ‘feel’ her presence around you, or hear a meowling that doesn’t belong. Dreams are also a common way for deities to reach you, so pay attention to what you dream about involving Bastet, and keep a dream diary.
This will "link" you to Bastet and her gifts and these tools may be useful to empower this deeper spiritual connection:
Candles. As Bastet was the daughter of Ra, the Sun God, candles in corresponding colors make excellent altar ware. Choose them in colors such as reds, oranges, or yellows, or if you don’t have those colors to hand, use a white candle. Bastet is closely linked to the home and domesticity, so a white candle can represent clean linen.
Incense holder. Incense works twofold on an altar. It is a fragrant way to cleanse the sacred space, and it can also act as an offering.
Wine glass. If you intend to connect to Bastet, you might need a vessel in which to do it. A spare wine glass, bowl, or even a cup will suffice.
Symbols. Draw or buy items with symbols that are often associated with Bastet. A sistrum would make a good addition, as would the Eye of Ra.
Crystals. Adding crystals will intensify the energy of any altar, so add some in sun-related colors, such as citrine, garnet, and carnelian. You could also add black tourmaline for protection. Legend has it that the goddess’ menstrual blood turned to turquoise as it fell, so that would be a fitting tribute, too.
And finally, One of the best ways to deeply connect to Bastet is through music and dance. In fact, the Bast Festival, which was held in Ancient Egypt to celebrate the goddess, was a riot of music, movement, and merry-making. Said to be attended by more than seven hundred thousand people, her festival was certainly one of the most popular. PLaying Music and dancing can quickly bring her forward to assist!
