Princess Moira Maatkare Hatshepsut Chnoem-Amon, High priestess of netjret Bastet:
household goddess and protector of women, children and domestic cats. She is also the goddess of sunrise, music, dance, pleasure, as well as family, fertility and birth.
Anekh, Udja, Seneb!
She is one girl, there is no one like her.
She is more beautiful than any other.
Look, she is like a star goddess arising
at the beginning of a happy new year;
brilliantly white, bright skinned;
with beautiful eyes for looking,
with sweet lips for speaking;
she has not one phrase too many.
With a long neck and white breast,
her hair of genuine lapis lazuli;
her arm more brilliant than gold;
her fingers like lotus flowers,
with heavy buttocks and girt waist.
Her thighs offer her beauty,
with a brisk step she treads on ground.
She has captured my heart in her embrace.
She makes all men turn their necks
to look at her.
One looks at her passing by,
this one, the unique one.
Original Bastet is not more than a local goddess in Bubastis, a city in the 23rd dynasty, in the beginning she was known as the goddess of the home. The guardian goddess of humanity and is sometimes equelised with another catlike; Sekhmet, the wargoddess with a lioness head.
