-Pocket God / Goddess Sekhmet-

I was really honored to make this Sekhmet for a client this weekend and it’s probably one of my favorites to date. They wanted one that embodied her aspect of war, which was very different from the healing versions of her that I’ve encountered with others. This is more the Sekhmet I know and have encountered, so it was great to spend time bringing this one to life.

“Homage to Sekhmet, Eye of Ra, Great of Flame,

who is established on the Great Seat!

I have placed myself on the floor in awe of you.

I embrace the earth before you as before the Lady of All Powers.

I have come that I might kiss the earth,

that I might worship my Mistress,

For I have seen her Beauty;

I give praise to Sekhmet,

For I have seen her Power.

Her form is more distinguished than the Netjeru;

Her arm is more powerful than the Netjeru.

I am pure, I am pure, I am pure, I am pure!”
