JACULA
But sometimes… sometimes I can see completely. Sometimes everything glows with a different kind of light. I can touch an object and listen to the sound of it’s color. I can hear voices and music in the flicker of a match. I can look into a mirror and see a thousand different faces staring back at me. I can turn night into day or watch the darkness shine, and I don’t even need to open my eyes!

“Sekhmet is the Lady of Heaven, Mistress of the Two Lands, Mistress of the Gods and the Great One, as well as being the Eye of Ra and the beloved of Ptah. In the famous story of the Destruction of Mankind, Sekhmet is tricked into drinking a vast quantity of beer to distract her from killing all of humanity, which she was doing to avenge the Sun God Ra.
Bastet was also initially a Lion Goddess who with time evolved into a Cat Goddess associated with the smaller, more docile, domestic cat. Her name translates as She of the ointment jar, represented with a hieroglyph of a sealed perfume jar. These goddesses were invoked in numerous aspects of ancient life, including for their fiercely protective and healing abilities, and their aid in divination, oracles, malicious magic and love spells.”
