45 Kemetic Prompts

31. How does this deity relate to other gods and other pantheons in your experience?

This is mostly UPG or PCPG, as per the question, but here goes:

Bast and Sekhmet are both very close to Ra, and have a sort of “respectful adult daughter” type relationship. They follow his lead, though I wouldn’t be surprised if they have a fair amount of input to give at their equivalent of “strategy meetings”. They also seem to have a respectful relationship with Amun-Ra, which makes a fair amount of sense to me? Moreso than other syncretisms with Ra (like Sobek-Ra, who seems more peripheral to them.)

Bast seems to have a close relationship with Anpu as well, but not one that I can categorize well, because I haven’t had a lot of experiences with both of them together.

Ptah seems not to be very strongly connected to either Bast or Sekhmet when they’re in their aspect of Eyes of Ra, so I’ve only met him in passing.

Maahes seems more to be Sekhmet’s child than Bast’s, and Sekhmet is very fond of him and fiercely proud of all he does.

Bast and Sekhmet seem to have the closest relationships with Mafdet and Hetheru, out of all the other Eyes of Ra?

Bast and Sekhmet seem rather fond of the various Herus, but seem to not really be concerned with Set, Aset, Wesir, and Nebthet, which makes the Epagomenal Days a little awkward, haha.
