Sekmet Seated on Her Throne

Sekmet, or Sekhmet, transforms darkness into light, suffering into healing, brings wisdom out of ignorance.

Sekhmet is the daughter of the sun god, Ra, and is among the more important of the goddesses in the Egyptian Pantheon. Sekhmet acted as the vengeful manifestation of Ra’s power, the Eye of Ra. Sekhmet is said to breathe fire, and the hot winds of the desert were likened to her breath. She is also believed to cause plagues (which were described as being her servants or messengers) although she is also called upon to ward off disease and heal the sick.

The leonine Goddess Sekhmet of Egyptian cosmology supports Ma’at, the principle of living in harmony and balance, with justice and Fierce Compassion. She catalyzes healing and transformation through the cycles of life, death, and rebirth. She assists in the composting of colonizing control cultures— encouraging the thriving of all sentient beings, rooted in reciprocity and compassion.

You can take a virtual tour on their website, visit a modern temple dedicated to Sekmet in the desert of Nevada, the Temple of Goddess Spirituality 

Lion-headed and enthroned, Sekmet is the crone face of Isis or the destroyer face of Hathor.

Seldom has such a royal image of the Dark Mother been produced.
