Bast is goddess of cats, and protects them vehemently. Like a mother defending her young, her wrath knows no bounds when her charges are threatened. She is also known as a goddess of life and joy, as well as a guardian of women. She will offer unmatched protection to those she favors; she is also associated with dancing, music, sex and pleasure.
