Softly radiant and fiercely protective, I am Bastet, the golden-eyed goddess. Protector of the hearth and the home. The cats, my earthly messengers, walk amongst my beloved mortals. In my light, they move with grace, and in my shadow, they bare their claws. I am the protector, the comforter, and the avenger, embodying the harmonious dance between gentleness and strength. My eyes are the glowing lanterns in the dark, my voice the calming purr against the night's silence. Don't fear, mortal, for you are under my divine protection.
