This video really speaks to me. Hathor is my matron goddess. To me she represents love in all its aspects: mother and child, friends, couples. She is goddess of artistic culture. At first, I wanted bast. But hathor called to me. Wonderful video! Blessed be.

Since my path has solar deities I find the Egyptian gods and goddesses of interest, but still find them so overwhelming since there is so many solar deities in different phases, etc.

@Chetallica Yeah I know what you mean. Instead of having a god of the sun, goddess of the moon, all deities were catorgorised as sun deities and moon deities :S

@syrenje4 Are you an Egyptology student? Or are you a Kemetic? If you are either then you would know it is down to interpretation - all Deities are related but also not. Its a complicated system.

Sekhmet was the war goddess (the spit-personality of Hathor, if you will). Although Goddess of disease, destruction, etc. she was the warrioress who fought along side her father and the Pharaoh and healed the upper-kingdom during times of war. She basically represents to ferocity of women -- her polar-opposite of Hathor, but the same Goddess.

Oh, and ISIS is the goddess of motherhood, etc. not Hathor. (Just noting that to deity lady at the top, there.) Hathor was Godess of dance and womanhood.

Furthermore, Bastet and Hathor-Sekhmet are in a sense "related" as they have the same father (Ra), but they're not actually revered as sisters -- they are merely two of the eyes, "The Eyes of Ra." Although both Bast and Hathor's polar side (Sekhmet) are similar, they are not the same. Bast is the Goddess of cats, whilst Sekhmet is the Goddess of destruction, disease, etc. and occasionally healing. Hathor-Sekhmet's son is the God of medicine, ironically. Hathor herself is primarily of music, etc.

Whoever made this video needs to study up...

Hathor IS Sekhmet, they are not "sisters," and nor is she and Bastet.

Hathor was one of the daughters of Ra; but when Ra saw fit to punish mankind, he sent his daughter, Hathor, as one of his eyes of Ra. She then became mad with rage, thus becoming Sekhmet, and drinking the blood of the impure which made her mad. It's said that Ra told his priests to drench the land in red wine/beer to intoxicate her, so that she would revert back to Hathor.
