How Bast's and Sehkmet's Path Came To Be

She came back with instructions. This little kitty who escaped into the woods last year. I truly believe that Bast and Sehkmet saved her - with some assistance from Ellen Marie Savage at EarthWater Wellness.
But there was a price to be paid - Henrietta had to study with her Goddesses before they would guide her home.  Henri agreed and studied hard.  However, when push comes to shove, even Powerful Goddesses can’t make a cat do things she doesn’t want to do.  It is with great reluctance that Henri shares anything from her studies,  Perhaps she is just not ready. Henri learned how to fend for herself - hunting, hiding, running, watching, waiting for the right moments.  She learned how to truly be independent but she also eventually learned that you don’t have to do everything yourself.  It’s ok to ask for help.  She finally allowed herself to come home.

Henrietta came back with instructions for a labyrinth dedicated to the Cat Goddesses - Sehkmet and Bast.  So we found a design that was very close to two cats with their tails entwined. Sehkmet and Bast are closely linked.  Some researchers even saying that they are one.  The North and South and different Dynasty's of Egypt do seem to mix up their powers.  Suffice it to say that they are Daughters of the Great God Ra. They were originally vengeful and angry usually protective in nature. Their agenda was Justice. They became protective in a more motherly way in later history.

When you walk Bast’s Path ask for Spirit to help you.  Ask the Goddesses for direction.  Ask for their Blessings.  Find your own spiritual center as your feet move over the ground.  But do not forget to thank them.  These are Goddesses who expect Respect.

        

Tesla's Coil Origination

After I built my little house in the woods I felt the Energy was draining away. I dragged.  The deer herd avoided the spot.  The only thing that wanted to grow there was poison ivy. I put a drain field in that spot.  It wasn’t where I thought it would go.  The forest and Fae didn’t like it there but too late.  It was done.  Searching for remedies I realized that a labyrinth would reverse the energy!  I was overjoyed.  Tesla’s Coil was born. Nikola Tesla was a man of the mind - An inventor and scientist.  The perfect idea for a labyrinth dedicated to mind problems.

To me this labyrinth is a symbol of science, mind, free-flowing inventive thought, activity, moving on.  It’s sometimes way too much energy to look at it. 
It is a place you want to focus on something to allow your mind to be filled with only that thing. To explore and allow everything connected with it to expand.  Use the energy of this labyrinth to seek your answers to the logical questions your unlogical, emotional mind craves to comprehend.

I use Universal Symbols Cards for focus here. I made them myself from several sources.  Choose one then use that image and thought, that visceral feeling you get when you looked at it the first time, to explore this labyrinth.

The Universal Symbols Cards consist of 7 colors for the main chakras with symbols relating to that color and chakra.  Samples:  Red-Root Chakra-Scorpion-Conflict or Green-Heart Chakra-Eagle-Courage.  I DID NOT include a picture on the cards purposely so everyone could fill in the image in his/her own mind rather than me telling you what you should think of when you see the words and colors.

Your mind is more than your brain.  It is tied to your heart which also thinks.  It is tied to this world and to the spirit world. 

Tesla said “My mind is but a receiver.”
