Oracle: The Goddess Sekhmet
Booklet: Isis of Alchemy
By: Olivia Robertson

Invocation: Mighty Goddess Sekhmet, Who with Your Inner Sun bestows life blood throughout the universe, help us to transmute our passions into Your Divine Gold.

Oracle: You need gold to create gold. But however hard you try, you will not attain the Inner Sun by ministering to your own ambition. An obsession to be a Spiritual Leader works in reverse. In digging for such fools’ gold, you dig your own grave. To gaze directly on the earthly sun blinds you. But it is far more dangerous to steal the rays of the Inner Sun. Spiritual blindness is the punishment.

How then may the seeker attain the goal of Divine Awareness? The answer is simple. Watch shadows! My Gold is not to be seized upon by greedy hands, but shows itself in humble places. It reveals its loveliness in the sound of doves in a wood: moonlight on a pool; cubs playing in their earth. My Nature has its hidden symbols to guide you on your way.

Discover the Inner Sun in those who seem devoid of goodness. It is easy to accept yourself; hard to appreciate the treasure concealed in others whom you find repellent. Most people condemn wrong doers. But the Spiritual Alchemist uncovers good in someone obsessed by evil. Honour such hidden splendour and you yourselves will shine forth as stars!

Sekhmet Fountain, Hearst Castle.

Several Sekhmet statues have been incorporated into a decorative fountain gracing Hearst Castle in San Simeon, California. This modern repurposing of the statuary is very curious as Sekhmet, considered to be “of the desert,” is now associated with bringing forth Life-Giving waters.

Light waves and Orbs in Sekhmet Temple in Karnak Egypt — March 16th, 2012.

What you are seeing is LIGHT WAVES and ORBS in the Sekhmet Temple in Karnak, Egypt. These images were taken just after dawn on March 16th, 2012. The blast of energy turned us all into mush as soon as we entered the temple. We had many powerful instantaneous healings that are still on going. It was as if Sekhmet was waiting for us. We were shocked when we took video and captured the energy we were feeling. The energy manifested as amazing light waves and orbs! Note . . . The red glows on the statue and flashes of light are others in the group taking photos. But pay close attention to the light waves. They change direction all over the place. The Orbs do as well. We feel this is important to share with you as photography does capture some of the energy.

P.S. Being overly enthused about this event, I used the same iphone camera, on the same mode, exactly as we did here in the Sekhmet temple in every other temple that we entered. I was hoping to capture this energy in other sites. But over the entire Egypt pilgrimage, I did not capture any other light waves or orbs.

Enjoy, sit back, and feel the energy . . . then share this with others.
P.S. Watch in a dark room to see the energy light show better. Read the rest of this entry »

from Galina Krasskova’s blog, Gangleri’s Grove:“My friend Setep wrote this series of Adorations as an offering to Sekhmet. He has been Her devotee and Her priest since before I was born. Needless to say, he adores Her, and serves Her both in His working life (he’s a physician) and in His daily devotions. This piece wasn’t finished in time to make it into my devotional to Sekhmet, but it will be going into the second edition. In the meantime, I have my friend’s permission to share it here.” –GK

From Kristen:

I have a fairly close relationship to Bast, and as I consider Sekhmet to be so close to her in energy signature, like two sides of the same coin, I work with her on occasion as well. I’m more likely to engage directly with Bast, however.

… Views expressed here are not necessarily mine, because I was in basically a Trance in which the Deity was essentially speaking to/through me, so the things I type are coming mostly from that Source. Thank you.

The format of my writings is shifting and sometimes jarring, because my journeys are often not sequential in that they can shift without warning and continue on totally different paths. I keep them this way on purpose. I was instructed to share these and so I will.

MY JOURNEY WITH SEKHMET

I suddenly became aware of a ‘weight’ on my crown chakra/top of my head area. I recognized it for an energetic pressure; often when things want my attention they apply “gentle pressure” on that area until I get so annoyed I trance out and listen, for once. (I am stubborn, with my Taurus moon.) Since Bast had told me this would happen for 4 days (streaming and journey with Her, that is) I assumed it was her.

This time she appeared in the guise of Sekhmet the Lion-Headed.

This is what Sekhmet explained to me: Read the rest of this entry »

From Kristen:

I recently went through 4 days of Journey/Visionwork with Bast and Sekhmet. I was informed this would occur right before it happened on the evening of the first night. I keep a Bast/Anubis altar in my bookcase and had the sudden urge to move their statues/boxes out to our kitchen altar (posted above, it’s outfitted for Winter hence the cool colors) and I was told by Bast to light an incense in Her honor, because we had things to speak about. Since I have been recently wondering about the nature of deity, I feel somehow like She planned this to teach me about such things…

MY JOURNEY WITH BAST

(The vision begins with me on a table, likely stone, in ritual garb, with Bast above me, breathing into my mouth. I inhale, she exhales, and in this way we share a single breath. We breath as of the same being, as of the same flesh, and in this way we journey together.)

First, I was a Leopard, running in a dense wood. To be honest it felt very African, as in it had foliage I would not expect locally around the Americas or in the vicinity of another place. I was running from something, afraid, my lithe muscles contracting and expanding. I felt speed, and feline grace, and sharp vision. I was interrupted in thought by a clearing in the trees, and in swooped a large falcon. His gnarled talons grabbed my shoulders and lifted, and I was flying. Once a feline, a ground creature, suddenly aware of the entirety of Existence, of the world beyond my feet and claws. (I think this perhaps is the untold story of Bast.)

* * * * *

(For this portion I am in a dark, Egyptian-looking temple, with a large cat statue. A male in white garb is speaking out from a platform, to a crowd of us, whoever we were. He was explaining what Bast was and is, and you could tell he was Channeling at the time. I wrote down what he said as he said it.) Read the rest of this entry »

Anna Yamamaya prepared her ’13 Adorations of Sekhmet’ because she’s been working with this Goddess lately. She writes:
“I adore you she-lion
I adore you scorching sun
I adore you rage of the storm
I adore you destructible tornado
I adore you roar of nature
I adore you infinite shakti
I adore you destroyer of the ill
I adore you lone desert flower
I adore you burning one
I adore you warrioress
I adore you crimson lady
I adore you raging lion
I adore you goddess”
Thank You, Anna

I have a challenge for artists who honor Sekhmet.

If you haven’t already done so, the next time you paint, allow Sekhmet to bless your hands. Allow Sekhmet’s powerful energy–as an inspirer of artists–to flow. Then watch the process unfold, allowing the wisdom within your heart to be in control.

Don’t think–just do! Keep your “head” (critic) out of the process by singing, playing special music, saying a perpetual prayer or a mantra. Light a stick of incense. Light a candle. Become a vessel of The Goddess. By making the creative process a sacred act, you are entering into another realm.

When you are finished be sure to THANK the Goddess, blow out the candle, turn off the music, etc… demarking your return back into ordinary space. It is important to establish a distinct boundary between the sacred and the mundane.

I’ve recommended this to several people and the results are ALWAYS amazing.

Sa Sekhem Sahu,
Lady Sekhmet
